    Electric Radiator Fan, Yes or No?

    Use the dual fan setup off of a 98 Ford Contour. They have their own shroud built in, and, if you get the stock harness with them, its easy to wire in. Use a temp switch with the low speed resistor, and a relay and switch for the high speed. That's how I have mine set up, and it cools VERY...

    Cant get head off - am i missing something

    They all used different compounds for different reasons. IJ describes his lapping block in detail, and why he uses the particular metal its made out of.... Lapping a block is actually a very technical job, and requires a fairly good amount of expertise, which, no insult intended, I don't think...

    Cant get head off - am i missing something

    Sorry it took so long for me to reply, I don't visit this forum every day: Hmmm.... I don't recall if there is a drain on the block. If there is, and its not covered over in crud, then yes, most of it will. I do alot of bhg jobs on Chevy v8's, and the drain is usually below the crud in the...

    WHat should I DO!!!!!!

    lol, there are many reasons for failing emissions. EGR, yes, faulty o2 sensor, plugged up or gutted cat., fouled plugs, faulty plug wires, cap, or rotor button, a bad fuel injector, burning oil from old, worn valve seals or piston rings, even a vacuum leak. You can fail emissions for running...

    need help, fixing my f-up

    Ummm.... no. Fusible link is fine strand wire that is made, intentionaly, to burn apart at a particular amperage. Kinda like a fuse, thus fusible link. It is most definately NOT regular wire. DO NOT put regular wire in there. Next we're gonna see the "Why won't anything work in my car???"...

    Cant get head off - am i missing something

    Oh, and by the way: I pulled the head off my 7m in an afternoon. I'm 5'10", 140 lbs, and didn't have to strain at all to get it off. Sometimes, its all about using the correct leverage. I got the head back from the machine shop around 11 a.m. the next day, had it back together, and drove it...

    Cant get head off - am i missing something

    Well, I'm glad your getting the head milled, aluminum heads warp real easy. Would hate to see you do this twice. Cooling the block is just as important as cooling the head. The more crud there is built up between the cylinder walls and the coolant flowing through the block, the less...

    Yeah, don't fix whats wrong so your car performs correctly, just create a different problem to cancel out the effects of the first one.....

    NA won't start but starter turns-help!!

    If the light is just blinking steady, there's no codes. Fuel pump is possible, but rare. My car sat for 2+ years while I fixed the front end (bought it wrecked), and didn't have a prob. You can borrow a fuel pressure tester from Auto Zone. Honestly, its hard to determine what's wrong with a...

    NA won't start but starter turns-help!!

    It is rare, but I have seen instances where the key that holds the timing gear (on the crank) in place sheared or was missing. Usually this is caused by a more serious problem, like hydrolocking from the blown headgasket, weakening or cracking the key. Like I said, this is rare, but I have...

    You can replace that fusible link with the alt fuse from the 89+ models. (Like the blue one in the pic)

    Cant get head off - am i missing something

    All the orange white crap is rust and corrosion. That's what happens to your motor when you run water and no coolant, and have crappy grounds. If you sand on the block, your gonna get high and low spots, and your gasket won't seal properly. Take the head to a machine shop and have it milled...
