NP...you're welcome. BTW: - 3.12mm = 0.123" - 3.10mm = 0.122" Not a lot of difference, but not even close to the 0.135" posted above ;)

Code 34 is fuel cut - that's why the car "bucked" at WOT hitting 8 psi boost. It sounds like to me you popped an IC pipe or fitting. A ripped PCV hose could easily contribute to this...all of the hoses need to be in good condition (and in place) for this motor to run right. Code 51 is the...

You seem pretty determined to use Mobil 1 oils. I have already told you what was better...use what you like. PAO and ester synthetics will remove deposits and keep a motor very clean...better than a hydrocracked Grp III oil. It's the base oil, not the additives...and, I've told you what...

A 5W-20 might be a good choice for the winter if you live in a cold climate, but generally all you would see is perhaps a increase in gas mileage. The 7M was designed for a 30W multigrade...I would stick with that at the lowest 1st number (0w or 5W) you can get. As long as you don't run the...

LOL...don't worry about IJ, he's harmless ;) (at least most of the time) Dumbo's advice was good...get all the maintenance stuff done...fluids, hoses, belts, brakes, etc. Don't even think about the basic upgrades till you do. You want a good starting point for when things break...and, on...

Not usually that inaccurate...5W-20 huh? Gutsy move Mav ;) (typically the lowest I would use is a 0W-30) Oil pressure (warm) should be 36-71 psi...your idle pressure is normal. You really don't want to use different weight oils to increase/decrease pressure. I would check the oil cooler...

Welcome, but pay attention where you post. This is the Technical Section...general questions like this belong: Guess where? The General Section! Thread moved. Suggest you lurk for a bit and read the stickys in the Intro section (especially on "how to search")...

Might want to check the wheel bearings.

Same here...My CFS radiator fit perfect and does a great job in the AZ summer heat.

Fuzzy Dice? :yelrotflm

It's the o-ring inside...just make sure you mark the position of the rotor when you pull it. You can cut a gasket from material available at most parts stores and add to the outside flange for added seal if you like.

Less restrictive? The runners are the same size leading to head intake ports that (you guessed it) are the same size, so I'm not too sure where you got that one. You should be able to use the plenum you have. Are you planning to improve intake flow and add an exhaust header? You will also...

Yep...sounds like the AFM or a huge boost leak to me.

Goodson has some: http://goodson.com/store/template/product_detail.php?IID=3615&SID=31a36689e2cf713e84e8e23da6ee3db9 25mm dia x 3.10mm thick...Kinda pricey, but you get 4 in a pack. Thickness vary in 0.05mm increments. Otherwise it will be custom...PM suprarich and he might be able to help.

You will need a port aft of the FFIM flange for Q45. The routing for the PCV will be identical to stock, except you will need a check valve in the line to the cam covers that will close off the port under boost. It looks like one of the Ford (steel) PCV valves will do the trick (sorry, no part...

Take out the #1 spark plug, insert 1 foot long small diameter wooden dowel in hole, turn crank damper until wooden dowel is at max height. You are now at TDC. Cam pulley index should be a "zero"...crank damper index should be at "zero". Installed correctly, the CPS should look like this:

Current torque spec for ARP studs is 80 ft/lbs using moly for lube...I highly suggest you chase the threads in the block prior to installing studs. As stated, both the cam caps and head bolts have a specific torque sequence pattern...you must follow it or there will be a problem. There are a...

Are you wanting to put a turbo manifold on a NA motor?

It's because IJ is correct...dazzle with BS is not going to work in this case. The CT26 (along with a lot of vanilla variety turbos) uses journal bearings that depend on oil flow...they are a hydrodynamic bearing. The oil flow under pressure keeps the turbo shaft and bearing surface from...
