    Lincoln LS V8 Motorcraft Coils and VGC (new) $200

    Entire passenger bank of cylinders started to misfire. Significantly at idle, once the chain tensioned up, it ran OK/Good. Rattle under leading edge of front valve cover. Post you question, a couple members here know exactly what to look/listen for. I think you can pull the cover and see...

    2001 V8 LS (needs secondary tensioner pass side) $1500

    Well it took a month but I sold the LS for $1000 to a local builder. Its gone and I was tired of looking at it in the driveway. I listed the new VCGs and coils on the parts Forum if anyone wants a set. Like I said, I'll miss the car and this boad. Its back to driving the hotrods for a year...

    Lincoln LS V8 Motorcraft Coils and VGC (new) $200

    On 10/8/09 - I ordered 8 new Motocraft Coils and Valve Cover Gaskets from Maxx at Five Star Ford in AZ when I thought the coils were going out in my 02Lincoln V8 LS. As it turns out my LS needed a passenger side secondary timing chain tensioner, as a result I sold the car yesterday for $1000...

    Shop replaced ATF in power steering with power steering fluid. Is this OK?

    Are these the same engineers that came up with the hydraulic cooling fan? Because those guys were brilliant and vastly underpaid!!!! Must have been another one of those ideas that looked good on paper. However I'm confident it was a different engineering group that came up with the sway...

    2001 V8 LS (needs secondary tensioner pass side) $1500

    Its looking like this LS may be the most expensive car I've ever junked! A local wrecking yard owner thinks he may want to trade me $1250 in yard credit for it... he is coming to look at it on Friday. Thanks for your help, I still really like the LS's (when they run), if there is a next...

    New project

    Nice B-Body, 95 or 96? I've owned several of those most of them clones. The LT1 was a pretty good powerplant in 96. Skins interior or dye? Grey interior panels are the same as the buick roadmaster of the same years. I've swapped entire doors from a 95 DGGM Roadmaster just to get the later...

    2001 V8 LS (needs secondary tensioner pass side) $2400

    What are the chances that if the pass side secondary tensioner is gone that the primaries aren't also shot? Is it 50/50.... 60/40.... Were the secondaries typically the ones with the problems or was is the whole set? Hmmm

    2001 V8 LS (needs secondary tensioner pass side) $2400

    If that were true I'd keep it! An other member commented on another thread that the secondary tensioners "may" be able to be replaced without removing the front cover, but I don't know if thats actually true.

    2001 V8 LS (needs secondary tensioner pass side) $2400

    Located in Montana 59102. A good used motor would likely be the way to come out ahead on this car. Ive been told ALL the parts, timing chains, gears, gaskets, etc cost a little over$900, however I've also been told that thats the very worst case and wouldn't need half of those parts, just...

    2001 V8 LS (needs secondary tensioner pass side) $2400

    I'd like to have shop space to keep it, but realistically.... I'd never get to it. I have a 1952 pontiac hartop to finish, a 1932 Ford pickup for my dad in a pile of parts, my TBI 1970 C-10 will be my daily driver for awhile and I 'd just rather spend this winter working on "other" projects.
