Looking for a 2nd gen LSE. Little to no rust, black on black. I'm located in wisconsin but willing to travel.

Not sure why those fender vent things were put on. That was done by the previous owner, I just never took them off. As for the motor. There is no badging for a v8. Because all of the LSE's had the v8...

Wasn't sure whether to post it in here or cars for sale forum. If this is something that needs to be in cars for sale I will move it, just let me know. I have a 2005 Lincoln LS LSE. Black on black heated and cooled front seats and sunroof. It has a brand new front bumper that I haven't put on...

Thanks again for all your guys' help. But unfortunately a deal came up on a newer f150 and I had to take it. Being only 19 I would rather not make payments on 3 loans haha. Ill probably put it up on craigslist or maybe on here as well here pretty soon. What is a fair asking price with the...

Well motor swap is done. Runs great!

Well, we shall see in a day or 2.

So, I just wanted to thank you guys a lot for the help on this, was a bit of a learning experience for me. Another member near me was selling a used v8 that he had sitting around with 35k miles on it. Going to have that put in within the next week and then probably sell the car or trade for a...

Now my question is, does this pretty much narrow it down to the rod bearing? or is there any other things that would cause that some sort of movement? Only thing I can really think of would be the wrist pin. But as I said, it wasnt the tiny bit that I expected.

So, did a little prodding around and found the culprit. I believe #7 if I found the correct resource. 3rd cylinder from the front of the car on the drivers side. Got it on the down stroke and it pushed down as if I was pushing down a distributor. Wasnt expecting that much when you said a tiny...

Also the plan was once I get a chance to tear it apart again I was going to get it to TDC and then push down on the piston to see if there was any movement, just havent gotten there yet. Kinda have no ambition to work on it considering its winter anyway.

If it would be helpful, I could take a video of it rev'ing up. It turns into more of a crackle at high rpms rather than just a sped up steady knock. Thanks for the input guys

Anyone have any thoughts? I have a suggestion from someone I know but just wanted to get more opinions before I tore it apart again.

Hey sorry for delayed response. Have quite a bit going on, I should have thought about it a little more before I just went and replaced the tensioner. The knocking noise is coming from cylinder #6. Here's a link to a video I had posted on YouTube for ease of sharing. https://youtu.be/vyd_tnVTyoQ...

more information-code P011 points to bank 1 timing too advanced. I currently have both valve covers off. Tensioner on passenger side is completely collapsed and there is no slack in the chain what so ever. Drivers side tensioner is out but when pushed in it seems pressure is getting released.

Error Code list is as follows: P0- 355 356 355 356 011 351 352 353 354 357 358 I know I repeated the first 4 but thats how it came up on the list. Wasnt too sure if it made much of a difference. Thanks again for any help
