    Unfinished mating surfaces on new short block...(?)

    Huh it looks like I was right. That blasting that ruined the sealing surfaces is complete bullshit.

    Don’t sell your S197!!!

    What do y'all figure I could get for my 4.6 3v engine (boss 302 rods) with 123700 cams, a TVS 1.9 supercharger, headers, what not? about 100k miles on the whole thing, but it was all apart 13k ago for the rods/cams/had the exh seats and valves touched up. No oil leaks. Super damper!

    Unfinished mating surfaces on new short block...(?)

    Is it a longer key with the center milled out so it's cantilevered to hold the tone wheel? I'd take the crank out and have that repaired properly. Did you try removing the paint from the pan rail/etc? How is there not a bunch of paint in the oil ports/crankcase area..

    What engine oil and viscosity are you using?

    I actually don't know - maybe the costco 5w30 synth with some 5w50 ford mixed in????

    STEEDA HEAVY DUTY CAMBER /CASTER PLATES TROUBLES

    It's a cheap car with a cheap front suspension. Generally always going to be spending money - key is to stay close to stock, stay away from steeda stuff and offshore coil overs. I'm not even convinced the stock mounts have any camber built into them - they're probably symmetrical.

    Having some Codes and Issues with my Mustang

    The market for used cars is pretty nuts, can probably get good value for the thing even with some issues. That's what I'd do. Then get a decent ebike. The advice given seems to talk about manifold to head, I think you could have manifold to downpipe leaks. Any Ford dealership should be able...

    DiMora's Build Thread

    Whatever you do, just run stock style rings. Everyone I know who uses the ss rings goes through oil like a container ship
