    brown water??

    There`s 2 block drain plugs and they are threaded,one at the lower front passenger side of the block and one at the lower rear of the drivers side. I replaced the allen head plugs with some regular pipe plugs. Most people never remove them,but you will never get all the the crap out from...

    brown water??

    Your cooling system sounds pretty dirty if the coolant is brown. You need to flush out the system at least with one of those garden hose flushing tee contraptions...plus if you can remove the cylinder block drain plugs after you flush it out with the hose even more crap will come out when...

    Ford just Rapped me!!!!!!

    You don`t have to disconnect the AC lines.Bend the accumulator mounting brackets forward for the extra clearance. A bonus if the system is charged and working.

    Ford just Rapped me!!!!!!

    I paid $40.29 for my heater core from Ford,and I live in Canada.List price was $47.40. $125.00 for a heater core is insane. Glad I can do this job myself. $900 labour + $125 = $1025 :shock:.

    Is it safe to run 20W50 in my LX

    Low tension oil rings :notnice:. A lot of these cars were heavy oil burners from the factory including mine. I had the engine rebuilt under warranty because of this.

    Header Bolts

    I heard the threads aren`t deep enough on the AFR heads for 1" bolts. Doesn`t sound like a good idea on their part,especially with an aluminum head. I`ve read stories of more than a few guy`s stripping the threads on them.

    Header Bolts

    When I bought my Mac 1-5/8" shorty headers,they came with 3/4" long bolts. I did not use them.I went out and bought 1" long header bolts...the same length the factory used. With 3/4",theres not much thread left after passing through the header flange + the gasket. I don`t know why this...

    just finished changing the heater core

    Some guy`s butcher the heater box to get at the core,but I`d rather do it the right way. This thread shows a pic of a butchered heater box. You don`t have to rip out the whole interior,but it still takes time. I don`t think replacing a heater core should be turned into a speed contest to...

    rice has gone too far!!

    But aren`t rice and ricers a joke? Ricers are the biggest *******s on the road. I`m more from the oldschool and when I see ricers on the roads I laugh. Can`t help it,their "cars" look and sound so stupid,and the clowns driving them try to look like tuff guy gangsta mofo`s. When I was...

    Car bleeding badly

    I replaced all the hoses when I did the core in May and the new heater core inlet hose from Ford already had the restrictor installed in the hose.

    just finished changing the heater core

    30 minutes to pull the whole dash out. How can you remove the entire dash that fast,there`s tons of stuff to disconnect? Hope it goes back together ok with no left over screws.

    Car bleeding badly

    I`ve read complaints of the aftermarket ones not lasting long.Less than a year in some cases. The first time I replaced mine,I bought one from NAPA and it lasted 8 years. (got lucky I guess). The one I bought from Ford back in May was better built.It had thicker tubes and tanks.It was made...
