    Performance mod

    Realistically, unless you're encountering valve float, you really aren't going to see any improvement on stock cams. If you do see any improvement it's probably because the stock springs have started to go.

    Ghetto Style tensioner replacement.

    There's not a lot of resistance as far as the whole timing assembly goes, if you start cranking on it, you can spin the crank. When you have the flats on the cams lined up on the good bank, the other side should be lined up too, as long as everything's lined up it's in time. :cool: I...

    Ghetto Style tensioner replacement.

    This is the ghettofied procedure I used when the bank 2 secondary chain let go. Use at your own risk! Go to Harbor Freight, purchase two "15 pc Metric Service Wrench" sets and get the 30mm wrench from each set. get the biggest, strongest holding clamp you can find, I used welders clamps...

    Green wire behind driver's side valve cover

    That gray plug and green wire is part of the ignition system, just plug it back into the appropriate plug and you'll be fine. Don't let it ground out however, or you'll blow the COP fuse. If it stays disconnected it doesn't really hurt anything, again, as long as it isn't grounded out...

    Head gaskets or timing chain?

    Chances of a primary chain break are slim. First, you have some kind of compression which indicates at least the intake valves are opening and closing. Second, you don't have odd metallicy thunky noises emanating underhood which would indicate interference of some kind. The low compression in...

    Head gaskets or timing chain?

    When my LS started running like crap I immediately figured timing chain, so I did a compression test and got ~150 psi in every cylinder, so it couldn't be the chain, right? WRONG! I tried every test for the better part of a week to track down the mysterious condition, finally in frustration I...

    Unfortunately, no. They're usually pretty cheap though (around $50 if you go genuine Ford).

    Engine options

    I was thinking a 4.4 from an '05 on LR3 or RR (I think that's when they stopped using the BMW 4.4 anyway) if the bolt, coolant and oil holes line up we could just slap our top end on. Once in a while you can find a 4.4 shortblock for a grand or so. I wish I had the resources to try it out. I...

    Engine options

    Anyone ever thought of putting in 4.2 internals out of a later S-type? You could turn it into a 4.4 if it would take the additional 2mm of bore (I have no idea of you'd have to resleeve or what to get that much additional bore, it is almost .080 over after all) or maybe just use a 4.4 Rover...
