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...

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...

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...

I have a fresh rebuilt engine and I’m battling o2 codes. I’m wondering if anyone has a picture or knows what side of the car the blue or green o2 plugs in the harness go to? Thanks for the help

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...

I am installing a remote oil filter mount and my question is does it matter how high or low it is in the engine bay in relation to where the stock filter was?

I am willing to swap to a 07-09 also I just need a crossover mine is broken.

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. I am using the back two upper trans mount holes as part of the lift point so I’m running into issues of getting them together while still supporting...

Is it possible to add a toggle switch for the radiator fan so I can turn it on and off but still have it kick in when the computer commands it?

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...

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?

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...

I am rebuilding my engine and went to put on the passenger side cylinder head and noticed that on the front cylinder there are no holes drilled for coolant. Is this how it’s supposed to be?

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?

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...

Man these blocks are confusing. Are these the correct side bolts for out blocks? ARP156-5002

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?

Hey guys I got a new set of Hot Rod Cams for the 3v from LMR the other day and opened them up to find one looking like the images I provided. I tried some brake clean and towels and then a plastic scraper and it’s still there. Is there a way to get it off or should I contact LMR...

I am rebuilding my engine and while it was sitting for some reason the wrist pin rusted and got deeper than surface rust damage. Is there any reputable place that sells wrist pins? I can’t seem to find some alone.

A few years ago I rebuild the valve train and now after a crankshaft issue I am doing a full engine rebuild. When I did the valve train I noticed some groves in the cam bearings. And to my knowledge you can not replace them. Does anyone know any routes to get this issue fixed. Do I just need new...

I have been hearing what sounds like a bad u joint when going from any forward gear to reverse and after pulling the trans for flywheel work I noticed the u joints are good but the output shaft has play when turning it back and forth before it engages. Is this normal for the trans or has a...

I’ve been fighting this start issue for 8 months now. It started a while back where the starter seemed to crank the engine slow. Then eventually not crank at all and just spin and not engage. So I installed a new one. Now 6 months later that starter will only spin but not engage the flywheel. So...
