    How to lube BMR front lower control arms? 2005 Saleen Mustang

    I have used the grease gun for other applications and the fitting works. I was beginning to think the fitting was the wrong size.

    How to lube BMR front lower control arms? 2005 Saleen Mustang

    The grease isn't going into the fittings and squirts around the fittings. I bought the grease gun from Jegs (see image below)

    BMR k-member order help

    I ordered the same setup. Tow hooks, in my opinion, work better

    How to lube BMR front lower control arms? 2005 Saleen Mustang

    This may sound like a silly question, but I am having trouble greasing the BMR poly bushings. I hooked up my grease gun, but it doesn't seem like any grease is entering the fitting.

    Hey Dino, I may have to explore this route solely because I want to keep this head. All the porting work that was done wasn't cheap.

    I thoroughly inspected the cylinder wall and it surprisingly undamaged. I can replace the piston, but I am worried about the need to rebalance the rotating assembly afterwards. I am hoping that replacing the piston with the exact same copy shouldn't require the need to rebalance. *Fingers crossed*

    I spoke to a gentleman, he requested I email them all the pics and a detailed summary.

    Hey Dino, I havent had a machinist inspect the head yet, but I was hoping the head could be repaired by a professional.

    Okay gentlemen. Passenger cylinder head was removed (see pics below). Observations: Cylinder head damage seems to be isolated to one area. Piston head has deep scoring. Questions: Can I just replace the deeply scored piston head?

    I honestly don’t know what to think at this moment. I’ve been in a quasi-depression state for the last month.

    Quick Update: I am half way through pulling the heads. I did take off the intake manifold and observed a broken intake valve (see image below). Also, I know that I need to have the head completely off the engine to do a full damage assessment. Questions: Is this head salvageable?

    This is what I am hoping for. Update: I spoke with a machine shop that specializes in cylinder heads. I will be removing the passenger side cylinder head this weekend and drop it off hopefully early next week for a full diagnosis.

    Your are correct. MHS assembled the heads and degreed the cams. I simply lined up the marks on the locked out phasers + timing chain + crank gear.

    FBO Engine Misfire

    My thoughts exactly. The only reason I brought up the timing is because I spent a great of time making sure I installed the chains correctly (1.5 weeks to be exact). I checked and double checked all the timing marks lined up correctly. And I drove the car for 1500 miles without any issues. I...

    MHS assembled all the aforementioned components and shipped the heads to me. I did the final installtion

    I plan to contact ModularHeadShop as soon possible. I just want to eliminate any installation errors I may have made (ie. Timing chain). This was suppose to be a simple straightforward install.

    FBO Engine Misfire

    Everything you mentioned was done. ModularHeadShop replaced all the seals, springs, locked out phasers, and degreed the camshafts

    Alright gentlemen, thanks for being patient. I pulled the passenger side valve cover last night and made some quick observations (see images below). one rocker arm is completely dislodged this rocker arm also scored the lobe of the camshaft Question: How should I proceed next?

    @GlassTop09 The rocker arms and lash adjusters were replaced with new FRPP and the cams are CompCams 127500. ModularHeadShop did all the install and timed the camshaft.

    Once I hit the bottom of the hill, I was traveling maybe 50-70mph, then I put into third and gave it a little gas, and it immediately started to misfire.

    I'm depressed. My baby isn't running right.

    Hey Dino, I changed the oil after all this happened. And the old oil did not have any metal debris. Though, I found 2 pin bearings (see image). I also took measurements.

    Thanks. What would cause an intake valve strike on the piston? I am asking this question because ModularHeadShop did all the work on the heads. All I had to do was install them and line up the timing marks on the chain.

    I will be taking the valve covers and the intake manifold off this weekend. The weird thing is the car drove normal for almost six months now. It hasn't been to the drag strip, but occasionally I drive the car like it should be driven. Also, it runs on idle without any weird noises, as soon I...
