Ya, i think im at the point of just driving it, i have plans on for a kenne bell, but now im unsure. I'll just keep staring at it sitting in my garage until i figure it out!
I found it at groove ford in centennial. Right next to it was a 96 mystic cobra and a red 93 cobra, if i would of had the money and a bigger trailer, i would have taken all three home!
another thing I shouldn't have done or not was, when I first bought the car here in Colorado there was snow on the roads, so I didn't get to test drive it and get it warmed up, all I did was pull it into my trailer and bring it home. It wasn't until after I changed the oil and filter (both...
That was my first thought was the adjusters, ive stethescoped everywhere on this car, and upper cam cover bolt on #5 is the loudest. The weird thing is its just as loud cold as it is hot, so im guessing that's not it because you can only hear the noise when car is up to operating temp. The...
No I just bought it in 10/2019. It was originally sold in New Jersey than the original owner died the kids didnt want it and sent it to an auction and it ended up in Colorado where I bought it (at least that was the story I was given from the number I called attached to original sell of the...
Snake390-1 I have the same car 03 black with 3,550 miles. off your topic of selling, but could you tell me your build # and date build. I may have some questions for you. Thanks!
I guess I should've said/asked this at the beginning but this noise I got completely disappears, at least to my hearing, right around 1000 rpms. then it purs like a kitten. Can you still hear the head tick with throttle applied? sort of like a out of spec lash on lifter with a solid roller...
Yep, its noticeable for sure when in a drive thru or next to a wall or yes in my garage (great just what I wanted to explain to my wife! now I get to spend another 2500 getting heads redone after dropping 30K on the car). If I don't respond with a finding my wife probably ended me! ive scoped...
absolutely I will, its gonna take me some time to diagnose I work out of town all week and try to reserve most of my weekend time with the family, but can usually squeeze a couple hours a weekend into playing with my toys. and yeah I think I have ruled out bottom end issue via the stethoscope...
Ok ya this car was originally bought in New Jersey and it does have some minor areas of surface rust. I guess I will get it warmed up, jack it up and remove dust cover to see if noise gets louder or more prominent with cover off? Im guess im preparing myself for the worst here with concerns of...
Would yours make the same noise regardless of clutch engaged or disengaged? Because to me it seems like that's the area where its coming from. But the noise on mine does not change when I disengage the clutch. Thanks!
Hey all, hoping someone on here can shed some light into this issue im having. Ive posted before about this same issue and thought I had it figured out but I was wrong, this noise is driving me crazy, im scared to drive my car at all. I stethescoped everywhere and everything sounds almost...
ok, ya I use copper based anti-sieze as well. cylinders 1-5 were 140PSI on the dot and cylinders 6-8 were 130 maybe 131 PSI. I was honestly more concerned how 1-5 were so consistent then all of a sudden 6, 7, and 8 dropped by 9-10 PSI. with the whole head tick issue these cars potentially...
ok, ya car runs good, no smoke at start up nothing during hard acceleration or deceleration. like I said earlier nothing is going on that made me think it was low or to justify the test, just the COVID boredom really!
ok, I will try again with engine warm with all plugs out (what a 5 minute idle then shutoff?) I was allways taught to never pull plugs on a HOT engine with aluminum heads... I work out of my home town mon-thu, I will have to do the test again on Saturday morning. I will post results after I get...
Ive only put 150 miles on it. And 135 of those had my kids in there so drove like a grandma. But that 15 mile trip i was able to take by myself. I would say no not at all! but i drive fairly responsible since car only has 3300 miles dont want to tear it up. I mean ive stabbed it in 1st -3rd a...
3" upper, 9" lower (6lb), accufab oval tb, bassani off road x pipe, and magnaflow exhaust. Car made max 12.7 lbs of boost. Like i said that was at 5250 performance in longmont CO which is 5400 above sea level but i live in mountains at 7500.
