    Main bearing clearance

    Just got my block back from the machine shop. And with what they did the main bearing clearance is at .0032, they said run 5w-50 and it’ll be good. This seems like a lot of clearance for our engines. I’ve tried looking into .001 less bearings but no luck. Also looking into bearing coatings to...

    TR3650 synchro insert

    Hey guys, I have my trans apart currently due to a ticking noise in neutral. Inside looks great but I noticed only some synchros have 3 inserts while others have 2. Too my knowledge the trans has never been apart. Am I missing inserts? Every synchro has provisions for 3. Thanks

    ProCharger blowoff inquiry

    Hey everyone, I am looking into supercharger options and one route is a ProCharger. Since our cars run MAF, a typical blow off valve venting to the atmosphere would cause issues no? How are these blow off valves routed? Thanks for any input.

    Boosted compression ratio

    Hey everyone, I am building a new engine with the plan to put a DOB blower on it in the future. I want a fun N/A car for a bit while I save again for the blower. Should I stay 9.8:1 or go 10.5:1+ for a more fun car N/A. My power goal is only 600WHP once blown. Thanks for any input.

    Engine rebalance

    I am gonna be tearing down my engine again after only 5k miles since a complete rebuild. I want to upgrade the oil pump and a few other small items. While it’s apart I want to recheck some bearing clearance measurements (rods and mains). Would you guys reuse rings and bearings since there isn’t...

    Ford performance intake maintenance

    Hey everyone, I rebuilt the engine a few thousand miles ago and this weekend I had the intake off (it’s the ford performance one) and noticed a fair bit of oil in the runners. I’m aware this is most likely from the PCV system and a catch can would help. There seems to be some bolts on the intake...

    Catalytic converter location

    I am having to put cats back on the car. Currently I have BBK shorties and an O/R X-pipe. Also, I have a AFR gauge that I was looking into the instruction manual and it states to have the sensor for the gauge 18in from manifold but upstream from the cats. If I move the cats and downstream O2...

    Mishimoto radiator hose issues

    Hello all, I have always used mishimoto radiator hoses in the car back when it was a stock 06 and now that I upgraded to the 07+ coolant crossover. The issue I have is my lower hose gets kinked when I put it in place. The same happened when I had the stock crossover on too and the older hoses...

    Mounting trans to engine

    I have the engine and trans out and am going to be putting them back into the car together. What is the recommended way to mate the two together.

    Freeze plugs

    I am finishing up a rebuild on my 4.6 3v and I need a few freeze plugs that weren’t in the kit I ordered. I need the one for the oil passages on the front by the water pump and the rear behind the rear cover. I also need one for the side of the heads. For the life of me I can not seem to find...

    Valve cover breather

    Doing a 3v rebuild and I noticed a bunch of metal shavings in my catch can when disassembling the engine. What are the issues with removing the tube from the valve covers to the intake/manifold and installing valve cover breathers? Will it require additional tuning?

    Lash adjuster question

    I am in the middle of rebuilding my 3v and about 2 years ago I replaced the lash adjusters and rocker arms. Now when I’m putting the lash adjusters back in some are rock hard and ooze out a bit of oil while some are softer and squeeze down to prime. Are the hard ones bad? Or the soft ones bad...

    Removing old gas

    I’m rebuilding my engine and with part delays and back orders it’s taking longer than expected. That being said i wanna removed the gas from the tank and when ready just fill it with new gas. Can I siphon it out like older cars or do these 3v’s have anti theft stuff?

    Rod and piston orientation

    I have gone through the old forums but still can’t figure it out. My rods and pistons don’t line up with the ford manual. Also shouldn’t 4 pistons be one way and 4 another since there are 2 banks and each rod interacts with the crank differently. I might be over thinking it. Dot is on the right...

    Windsor vs Romeo

    I’m new to the whole Windsor vs Romeo block stuff and I can only find info on 90s block differences. I have a 06 aluminum 3v out of a mustang. Is there just one type? Or how do I tell what one I have?
