Where the booty at?

Valve covers back on, filling up with fluids and midpipe and should be golden.

 

[GallopingFord]

Well, today didn't go as planned with a couple problems.

My lovely GF did assist me with removing and replacing the valve covers. I did swap out all the baffle plate hardware with some self-tapping screws from Home Depot. I picked a #8 and 1/2" length. They are a little larger than the original screws and they fit perfect topped off with some Locktite.

We then began filling up all the fluids by 2:30P
-Topped off the oil
-Changed the transmission oil, which was really low in that transmission
-Filled the coolant tanks
-Filled up Steering Hydraulic Fluid
-Brake Fluid

I completely forgot about the Supercharger oil, it was basically dry and we don't stock the stuff, so I tried to call a local supplier and they said they would get me some by 5PM and they never showed. I was pissed but it's fine.

We went ahead and continued with other stuff.
-Programmed both sets of my keys
-Programmed the ECU with the tune from Lund
-Filled it up with 4~ gallons of 93
-Primed the oil system
-Installed the Midpipe and 02 sensors.

While priming the system and making sure that the fuel system was pressurized we ran into a major problem with the fuel rails, they were dumping a ton of fuel out of the side. They looked like they were bent slightly and it was just a mess. We managed to bend them back slightly and it seemed to fix the issue. If it persists then I will just buy new fuel rails.

Sucks to hear Cam. We had the same fuel issue with Greg's car and found an o-ring had a nick in it. Replaced the o-ring and all was good. Hope you get it sorted out.

IDK if they are the same but I have a set of fuel rails that came with my FRPP 3V intake that I am not using. If I still have them and you need them let me know and I can ship them down to you.

That sucks man

 

[Jeffk]

Less birthday partying, more Mustang wrenching!!! LOL.

 

[Wicked GT]

Damnit Cam, where are the pics of your woman in a bikini wrenchin on your car???

 

[GallopingFord]

Just be cool

I'll try and do stuff tomorrow.

Side note - what is easiest way to remove window tint

 

[Wicked GT]

grip it and rip it is what I have always done. heard of using heat to remove it as well. Windex works well on the glue left behind. Someone on here may know a more "Professional" way to remove it but that's how I have been able to get the task accomplished...

 

[Jeffk]

Heat gun on outside of glass.

WD-40 works well for removing leftover glue too

 

[ReMustang05]

Best way, if you have access to it, is to use a steamer. Start at at top corner and peel slowly while steaming the spot you're at

 

[GallopingFord]

Yeah I don't have a steamer. I don't feel like running out and buying one either. I got my trusted heat gun with me today.

 

[Jeffk]

I know you know but be careful around the outer edges of the 1/4 windows so you don't melt your interior trim. If it's quality tint once you get it started it should come off as a whole piece.

 

[cbass]

Put a crack in the window, file on insurance.

 

[Rasmus]

Spray some ammonia on the tint, cut up a black trash bag, stick the bag to the tinted glass, and let sit in Sun for a while. Tint peels right off. I've done that a couple of times.

Good tip, I like it!
