    Transmission decision

    I switched from the TKO600 to the T56 Magnum - the close ratio version. I like it a lot more, the gear ratios are equally spaced. When I had the TKO600, there was a big difference from 4th to 5th that would bog down the engine.

    What Are These For?

    There are 3 of these in the engine bay of my 1984 GT convertible. I'm hiding the wiring. Do I need these? What do they do?

    Watch out Europe... here comes the new 5.0 (M3 vs 5.0)

    It's interesting seeing BMW owners on a Mustang forum trying to prove how great the BMW's are. As a Mustang enthusiast, I've never had any interest in looking or posting on a BMW forum. I've driven in them, they really don't impress me.

    Thanks for the quick response. The intake on it is a cobra one that leads to the left side(passengers). I know the Mark 8 has different heads so i was wondering, can that intake be put on those heads?

    Help! Engine misfire 2000 Mustang 4.6

    The engine actually ran pretty smooth with only bank 2 running. It didn't have much power though. There was a occasional popping sound in the intake manifold probably when the injector was open and it sparked. How do I get a picture next to my name at the beginning of a post, like others do...

    Help! Engine misfire 2000 Mustang 4.6

    After reading the codes, I erased them. They haven't come back yet although I did get one new code P0136 O2 sensor circuit Malfunction (bank 1 Sensor 2). I know the back sensors aren't as critical as the fronts, and are not used to set the fuel mixture. I'll run it a little more and see what...

    Help! Engine misfire 2000 Mustang 4.6

    I had some time to drive the car around since the last post. It's running pretty good, but there's a couple of minor things now. It seems like it has a slight miss, but not all the time - maybe it's just the fuel mixture. The check engine light came on. I pulled 2 codes out, the first - P0133 O2...

    Help! Engine misfire 2000 Mustang 4.6

    I just finished putting the engine back together. The passenger side cam was mis-timed by 180 degrees. It is running great now! I might have given up and had to take it to the dealer if it wasn't for all of you that took time to help me diagnose the problem. With my son starting college - I...

    Help! Engine misfire 2000 Mustang 4.6

    You get credit for a triple. I started taking it apart last night, I should know for sure soon. Thanks for the suggestion about the cam timing. Probably a rookie mistake on my part, this was my first rebuild on an engine that had 2 cam chains.

    Help! Engine misfire 2000 Mustang 4.6

    I was thinking about the cam timing. I timed the cams in relationship to the crank, but now am thinking that the second cam has to also be timed in relation to the 1st cam. I bet the passenger side is 180 degrees out of sync with the drivers side.

    I didn't re-install the cam gears. I left them on the cams.

    Help! Engine misfire 2000 Mustang 4.6

    I installed the cam timing chains myself. Let me know if this sounds right. I never removed the gears from the cams during the rebuild. This engine is a SOHC so I didn't think I needed The clamp that holds the cams in place as is needed for the DOHC. I bought new Melling timing chains which have...
