    What Were These For? | Vintage Brass Tag Ford Rouge Factory

    ?| /\ /\ /\ /\ This. Yep, all the tradesmen had these. Just give the tag to the guy in the crib and he would hand you the requested tool. Never understand why they got away from this system. It was so much easier than what you have to do now.

    Big Bore Details | Ford's Godzilla (7X) V8 Engine | Plus a New Name

It's designed as a replacement for the out going V10 6.8l engine in the Super Duty trucks (250 up) and fleet vehicles. Not sure if it's been mentioned but it is a 60* block. There is no heat treat among...

    Polyurethane Bushing Creak

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Ding, ding, ding, Yes sir, have used this on all the poly bushings on my 08 and have never had any noise from them. This lube is thick, tried using it with a grease gun (they do sell it in a tube) but could not get it to work. Ended up buying a larger tub (from Jeg's I believe)...
