    For Sale WTB: Mark VIII Oil Pan

    Hey all, I'm willing to pay fair money for whatever surviving Mark VIII oil pan may be left on the market. Mine is pretty lousy, and I'm already kind of dreading dropping the k-member to do this, but finding one would be half the battle. If you've got one you'd like to get rid of, or know a...

    One of those suspension questions

    Soo... My '96 Mark is currently nose down on the pavement in storage. Both sides equally, pretty much as flat as those front shocks will go. The car has been hibernating for about four months now, no ignition, no movement. I'm kind of scared to hit the key now, since this has never happened in...

    Really, this is Mark VIII related.

    So as of yesterday, my '96 is going into semi-retirement. When in comes out of storage in late April, it will have the benefit of sharing mileage with a recently acquired Ford cousin. Since having started my new gig at the aluminum fabrication plant earlier this year, the money has mercifully...

    A Sad Day.

    So yesterday. Here I am at my folks house getting ready to change a ball joint (my father had the press), and a supercell thunderstorm comes rolling out of nowhere, and near baseball sized hail starts dropping out of the sky, and all over my car. There was no warning, and nothing to be done, I...

    Ugh, ball joint.

    So state inspection time rolled around for me again, and it appears as though the lower ball joint on the passenger side has got some play in it. I can't quite hear it just yet, but I understand the danger of operating this design with a loose ball joint. So that's not going to happen. I've got...

    New kicks!

    So finally joined the ranks of those with aftermarket wheels. Interesting backstory, I originally acquired these Eagle 192's some time ago for nothing, but just now got along to the point where I could install them. They had some pretty bad pitting strarting, and I had to make a date with a jar...

    Stupid Gen I owner question.

    I can't know this for sure, because I don't have a '97-'98 Mark in my driveway, but some of you do, and can perhaps clear this up. I know for a fact that '93-'96 Marks have a power antenna on the passenger side, I know this much because I hear it and see it every day, lol. However, I have never...

    How many of you hear this?

    Generally after the car has sat cold for a period of time, and only for about a second or so, it's timing chain noise, I'm sure of it. It only lasts long enough for the engine to properly build oil pressure, and then it's gone. It's not the only 4.6 DOHC I've heard make this sound at cold start...

    New to LvC, recently new Gen I owner

    First off, big hello to everyone here at LvC, pretty nice joint you guys have got going on here. So first off, to introduce myself, I suppose.
