Old Man, Young again, blown motor, K-member install, many parts, PICS!!

[GSP]

1999 GT dropped valve at 95K miles with automatic trans, never over reved:

Look how thin the cylinder walls are:

new parts, hope to install k-member tomorrow, will show pics:

My 99 GT:

04 Crown Vic motor totaled cop car 9K miles $1600 with the 99GT trans installed:

Wow, that kicks ass man... tubular's FTW!

Might I ask why the front suspension rides so freaking high in that one pic though?

EDIT: Ahh, it might be the lack of engine/trans in the car.... answered my own question

 

[GSP]

No engine in the car

OH the bike: 2000cc turbo nitrous street legal drag bike I built

 

[BurningRubber]

That is awesome man. I wish I had the budget and space to do all of that.

[the98stang]

My 99 GT:

HOLY RIDE HEIGHT BATMAN!!! All you need now are some baja tires for that 4x4

Glad you're changing those springs!

 

[macdstr8up]

no motor = high ride lol

 

[trinity_gt]

no motor = high ride lol

No, that's how all New Edge GTs come from the factory.

I'm thinking that engine failure didn't sound real good when it happened...

 

[Dope 97GT]

nice im thinkin about the tubular k for mine as well. and nice low mileage engine too.

 

[GSP]

Done

 

[BurningRubber]

With the engine and everything? Or the K member?

Either way, good deal.

 

[madmatt]

Sweet deal, and damn that bike sounds insane.

 

[gtstangau]

Ouch man looks like that old motor had seen better days! That is a nice list of goodies your putting on there though!

 

[20BlackGT03]

what exactly caused the cylinder walls to look like that? lack of maintanence or just unlucky?

haha i wanna know so i dont do it...

 

[thump_rrr]

Look at the deck of the block how rusty it is.
That block has been exposed to the elements so what you see is not indicative of how it looked when it was opened up.
It's merely to show you the damage a dropped valve can create.

ahh... got ya, thanks. i didnt think about how long that was probably sitting out there.

one last question... whats the most likely cause of the dropped valve?

 

[Kurgan]

Probably a broken spring and/or valve retainer.
