For the past couple years I've been "flipping cars" to pay my way through college. Now that I have graduated, I've decided I'd like to take it to the next level and become a used car dealer. I've got a lot of flak from friends and family because I have graduated but am not wanting to get a job...

I am looking to get this block from my 2001 cobra out of my garage. The story is I sent it to MMR to have my short-block built and they supposedly bored it .030" over. I was experiencing piston slap and come to find out by another local shop that they really took it more than .030 over...

Nearly one year ago I bought my 2001 mustang cobra off craigslist for $3500 with a knocking engine. I drove nearly 3 hours to go get this car. I knew it was a great deal and jumped right on it. I removed the engine and tore it down to find that it had spun a couple rod bearings. I had high...

The speedometer in my 01 cobra randomly jumps up to between 120-160 mph sitting still then back to 0 mph. This is putting extra miles on my car so I would like to fix it ASAP. Once I start moving it calms down and works fine. Any ideas? Do you think it is just a bad speed sensor in the...

2001 Mustang Cobra and I have just had the entire engine rebuild. Did the bottom end first and it still had a noise in the motor so I decided to do the heads. The valve guides were worn so it needed to be done. I put it all back together and it still has a noise which sounds like it is coming...

I had MMR build my short block this summer and got it back and it was a disaster. Still very frustrated about it but that is beside the point. So now I am having to rebuilding the engine at a local shop. Everything has been changed besides the rods. MMR says they put the new coyote 5.0...

I had a brand new short block built for me this summer. All new parts and the block was bored .020 over and honed. Ever since day one it has knocked. I only have about a 100 miles on the new short block. I decided to take it apart this weekend and this is what I have found. I can hang my nail...

I posted back a couple weeks about about my engine knocking. The shortblock has just been rebuilt. I can not figure out this noise for the life of me and hope you can help me out. I know the engine is going to have to come out I just want to know what to look for or what could be the problem...
