    Hey guys

    Well I sold the mustang...... :( Kinda hate to see it go, but I need something more practical these days. Having a hot rod mustang and a hot rod bike just isn't cutting it. Fortunately I put the motor back to stock, so I've got a ton of parts to sell (extra cash! :D ). Anyway, just thought...

    No compression

    Just swapped my stock heads/cam in this weekend. I got spark, fuel, and air. But I have no compression on more than one cylinder on each head. Can somebody list me some possible reasons that come along with head/cam swap where I wouldn't have any compression (brain is fried, been working 19...

    Cranks and cranks but no fire

    I've been having issues lately with the stang cranking FOREVER before it fires, if it fires at all. It cranks real fast, but it just takes a long time to fire. I have good fuel pressure, but have not checked spark. My battery has been pretty weak lately, and I was wondering if maybe the weak...

    Fried my alternator!

    She's toast! Trashed! Coming back from San Antonio this weekend, and coming through the north side of Austin the battery light started coming on and off. Everytime it came on, my volt gauge would spike, and the headlights would get real bright. Well I still had like 70 miles to go. So by...

    This is what happens when you don't change your oil!

    One of the mechanics bought a broken generator from a guy, planning on rebuilding it. It's a 16hp Briggs and Stratton V-twin. The guy didn't know what was wrong with it, it just quit one day. So him and I took the motor off the generator, and pulled the crankcase cover off, and this is what we...

    What's up?!?!

    I haven't been on for a couple of weeks. Just wondering what I've missed. I've been EXTREMELY busy lately with buying the bike, riding the bike, modding the bike, washing the bike, looking at the bike, thinking about the bike, more riding. I'm also trying to move out, so I've been looking for...

    Wanna see what I just bought?

The guy has a lein on it, so it might be a bit before I can pick it up, but that's okay since I still gotta take the...

    CRAP! I scratched the side of the stang up.

    I was going down an extremely narrow one lane rock/gravel road the other day, and to avoid scraping the piss outta my undercarriage, I moved over to the edge, and apparently ran the side of my car up against some trees. There's about 3 or 4 scratches, the ENTIRE length of the passenger side...

    I hurt my transmission last night

    I was heading back from Austin with my friend with a 2000 GT. We were heading up the intersate, and we were racing a bit. Well I shifted into 5th on run, and it grinded BAD. Now a lot of time when I accelerate, I hear this rattling through my shifter, and the shifter vibrates a lot more. GREAT...

    Buying a 351 block

    My friend has a 351 block that he was going to buildup. He's getting married now though, so I'm gonna buy it from him. He had it bored (he said .060" over if he remembers right), decked, new cam bearings put it, and a few other things. He paid $250 just for the machine work, but he's gonna sell...

    Need rear brakes help FAST!

    How do I compress the piston on the rear brake calipers? The new pads are too thick, I can't get the caliper/pad over the rotor. I tried a c-clamp, it worked on the front, but the rears don't want to compress. Are they the screw in type? Need help fast!

    Brake pads

    I DESPERATELY need new brake pads. I would like to upgrade the whole brake setup (fronts only), but it's too expensive. :( But I HAVE to replace my pads, they are paper thin. What does everybody recommend? I saw EBC and Raybesto's both had some on 50resto ranging from $40 to $100. Obviously...

    Loud knocking noise

    I was checking my oil the other day when my damn dipstick tube came completely out of the block. :bang: I swung back by work and put the stang on a lift and put the tube back in, using some black RTV to seal around it. I also bolted it down under one of the valve cover bolts (was loose before)...
