since you had almost every problem possible maybe you can help me with what I had happen today I just took the car out of storage after 6 months drove it to work and all is cool plenty of power I leave work today with my A/C on get gas drive a few more miles going about 25 mph slight up hill and the car starts bucking trying to shut off my fuel pressure is 30-40 psi with 3/4 tank of gas I get up on flat ground I just start to push the pedal and now it's breaking up so I back out real fast I go home easy normal driving let it lay for 1 hour thinking wow could it be bad gas I just gotten so now I go out with the car and it made great power once again all is fine so WTFFFFFFF do these cars vapor lock it was maybe 80 outside today? I drove it around last year in the heat and nooooooo problems at all or does it have to do with the computer in the car that it was not driven in 6 months

sounds liek the plugs were fouled. it happens to my car after sitting for extended periods of time. once they heat up and burn off the junk the car is fine again. especially if you are using the HT0 plugs.

 

[nycmikie1]

Yes I do have those HT0 plugs and I took it to work again and all seems fine
Thanks

isn't a 2v , 4v head gasket basically the same bore wise n all ?

I thought the 3v gaskets had an extra hole in them for oiling the VCT .... The same as the one that is drilled in the Tiskid blocks but with the same bore..... Or am I completely wrong LOL!

 

[94tbird]

they are different for cooling passages. exrta hole for that, not oil. you were close though haha

do you know where that extra hole is? im concerned about the new gaskets i just installed. i want to verify i have the correct ones. i remember holding them up to my stockers and they looked like all the same holes but alot of the holes on the newer gasket were actually bigger. It was suppose to be a OEM gasket for the 3v, i ordered it from MMR,just want to make sure before i fire it up.

 

[94tbird]

its only for teksid blocks

its only for teksid blocks

so your saying i should not have anything to worry about? i thought i checked the new ones MMR sent me against my old ones, they were suppose to be FORD OEM 3V gaskets.that was 2 months ago and now im re-thinking just how good i checked them,lol.

if you are using a 05+ block and a oem 05+ head gasket you have no problem, although i would have used the cometic head gaskets imo

im assuming they are 05+ head gaskets at this point,i got them from MMR. i have read in another post that the 2v,3v and 4v are all the same when using cometics...according to livernois.

called MMR and they confirmed they shipped 07 OEM gaskets

anyone have any idea what could cause a motor to not turn over when you turn the key other than a dead battery?​

Starter, ignition switch, wiring

 

[nycmikie1]

yes contact piston to valve why what did you take apart or change since the last time we spoke RON

[ChevyKiller]

Not to sound sarcastic - but it's not flooded, right? And you didn't accidently hit the the fuel shut off in the kick panel?

 

[94tbird]

they were all good before i started the teardown #2 so i am for the time being going to assume they are all good now. wiring seems to be ok

retimed the entire motor, checked followers and lifters

 

[GIG4FUN]

Clutch switch under dash. You are stick right?

 

[GIG4FUN]

you said it's not turning over. I rule out other things based on that understanding. Correct? no motion right? "spinning"
