Neither have been open as this happened over the weekend and I was planning on using the car tomorrow. I thought you guys would know for sure. I will be checking with them in the morning. Thanks, John

Went to Autozone and the tie rod end is not from a power rack from a 79 through 04 Mustang, 74 through 78 Mustang II V8, Manual rack 79 Mustang, Grrrrr!

I would hate to scrap my 1991 winter beater just because I can't find a tie rod inner! I bought a manual Flaming River rack five years ago and it has worked like a champ until the LH tie rod inner began to go bad. I bought a replacement inner for a '79 manual rack, but it is no where near...

Oil Pump Sound??? Is this sound kind of like a jet plane engine and it starts after the engine is warm? Say after about 5 minutes of idling? See my threads in the 5.0L or 94-95 5.0L forum... :eek: John

Doesn't sound like this... If someone can help, I have a video of the noise from my camera phone. It will make you cringe as it sounds like a jet airplane landing at the airport!!! Your sound? I would look at the idler pulley on the tensioner or the tensioner itself. What was the...

Grinding down the distributor... Best hint I have had in a while. I pulled the cam out on Saturday and the bearing is shot but I don't think that this is the reason for all the noise. Maybe a symptom? I am using a stock 94-95 distributor (actually two as I thought this was the original...

Bad Cam Bearing... I think I found the problem. I took the cam out and found a nick in the cam bearing about a 1/16 in by 3/8 in by about 10 to 20 thousands deep. Would this cause the noise when the engine is hot? Also - Has anyone changed a cam bearing while the block was in the vehicle...

CDC glass roof... Wow! Great. Send us some pics. Is the CDC roof a one-off? I thought George had a few cars out there and also had a roof for sale. Guess I was wrong. John

Distributor loading the cam? Somebody told me today that it could be the cam rubbing against the cam thrust plate. I agree that this could be it. I was also told that it might be useful to loosen the distributor hold down and lift the distributor up to load the cam away from the thrust plate...

Intake Leaks Somebody told me an intake leak would sound like a teapot boiling (kinda like what I have here), but I tried starter fluid and didn't find any vacuum leaks. I tightened up everything but still, the noise is there. I just don't know what to do. Anybody want a clean '94...

Don't even have a smog pump... I bypassed that long ago. Hissin- I will check your message in a minute. Thanks.

Distributor is new. Cam plate? Cam plate? Rubbing the front of the block? This is what it sounds like. How could this develop? John

Great car... I worked for Coletti when we had that car up and running. Probably the best sounding car I have ever heard. If you put your foot down, all hell would break loose. It was probably the baddest car I ever drove. John

I have a video of the noise... Bad quality... How do I get it up on the site? It is from my cell phone (all I have) and it sounds like a regular 5.0L with a lumpy cam at the airport with a jet plane landing over your head... I can send it to anyone who e-mails me. Steedanorth at hotmail...

Turning the motor over by hand... Wow, if you can do this, you are a stud. Too much compression for me to turn the motor over fast enough to hear the noise. I can turn the motor over about an 1/8th turn at a time and I only hear compressed air escaping. Signed, Wimp, uh... I mean...

A bad roller lifter... I finally found a noise through the stethoscope that sounds a little like the noise I hear from 20 feet away. I can get it if I touch the forward most, left hand upper to lower intake bolt. This leads me to believe that I have this noise in the valley of the block...

Turn the motor over by hand... I will check. Back in a few...

Noise from around the intake and distributor... I finally found with the stethoscope a noise that is unusual and similar to what I can hear from 20 feet away when the car is warm. I am getting the screeching noise from the forward most upper to lower intake bolt which is near the distributor...

Bad Roller Follower Bearing??? Has anybody ever had a bad roller follower bearing? What does it sound like?

Harmonic Balancer still shiny and new... It still looks brand new. It is only three months (of driving) old. Everything seems tight around the bottom of the engine and the damper bolt is tight. Help... :bang: John
