Im not seeing anybody who sells parts, just complete units. Looking for the plastic check valve in the head, tore three apart in the junkyard and they "all" failed for the 7 cent valve sitting on piston, all motors and pistons work fine less the dropped plastic valve? Gladly pay $20 a...

Bone stock 1997 with original trans, worth doing any of the other mods or just drill the low HP holes to spec? I expect I will go thru the trans down the road but just added a cooler and will have pan off this weekend, have seperator gaskets in hand. (searching not real usefull, I...

For new people doing headgaskets on the 4.6 DOHC: The newer pkg's are labeled to read correctly, DOES NOT include the rubber gaskets listed below. Some auto stores description and early Felpro boxx's lead you to believe it a "complete kit", its not. FEL-PRO - Head Set # HS9790PT3...

As read with a scanner or infa red heat gun, not from the dash gauge. I just finished putting headgaskets in a 175k mile Mark8 and am carefully monitoring the actual temps thru my scan tool. These cars run "hot" even when not "overheating"? 50% fan duty cycle when temp hits 200* or so...

Im ready to put my heads back on, not finding local stock for the Felpro complete head set (HS9790PT3). Piecing it together thru various stores is adding up quickly. Does Ford have a complete head set for the 95-98 or do they break it up by parts? (Sunday as I write) Like to get it...

I've got my high mile leaking heads off (175k) and was wondering what mechanical things I can do. I see the variable inlet runners blades have huge ugly screws in the blade, will polish and knife edge the blades. The bowls look nice, not much room for blending as far as I can see. Both...

Keyword search's net little info: If you were searching E-bay and boneyards for trashed Mustangs what are ideal donors for our cars (mine is a 1997) for motor swaps, supercharged and NA. Our lower ends would apear to be weak links, our block seam like ideal keepers for forged swap topped...

Multiple fills/bleeds thru crossover, spews coolant from vent if started cold with vent removed....headgasket time Im assuming. Builds up 15psi running, firing on all holes but creeps up towards the hot area before I back off. My Alldata tech CD lists 23hrs that includes R/R motor. I know...

Search function not helping much, Alldata says its on the pass fender....not there. Have inner splash sheild off but see no relay there. Comp not running, no dash warning and all fuses good with good power to them.
