    cooling problem

    I'm having the same issue as you... I can't keep head gaskets sealed up right now, I'm on the third set in 2 weeks. They all blow between the bore and the coolant passages, which then pressurizes the cooling system (especially under throttle) and pumps the coolant out of the radiator and into...

    Major Blow-By after HG + Cam

    If the PCV is doing its job, the intake charge (positive boost) should not be pressurizing the crankcase. If vacuum is exerted on the PCV valve, it should hold it open to evacuate the crap out of the crank case. Under boost, the PCV valve should be forced shut from the boost pressure in the...

    Major Blow-By after HG + Cam

    OK, I noticed a long time ago a little moisture out the exhuast so I finally dove in and found both head gaskets were slightly blown from the water passages to the cylinder on the #2 #3 #6 #7 cylinders...

    Where to buy a Idle Air Control?

    I had an IAC go bad, so I made the mistake of buying a POS autozone replacement and it was already a broke ass pile of crap when I put it on. I went to the junkyard, and found 3 for 8 bucks a piece, one of which was brand new OEM Ford replacement.

    winterizing my Stang

    I've heard all sorts of wacked out theory regarding switching back and forth. From reasoning like "When a two different types of oil combine, they chemically react and become ____" ... As far as I'm concerned, there is no logical reason you couldn't switch back and forth daily...
