greased every slide and pin really good and reassembled. will test ride and keep an eye on that brake hose. all old grease was about gone and hard, hope thats all it was.
rear driver side brake hangs up after new pads and rotor where installed. Put a new caliper on and still hangs up. The porportion valve would have nothing to do with this?
2000 lightning question need help with. behind the under hood fuse panel there are 2 small harnesses coming out of the main harness. 1 of the harnesses is a green orange strip and a black wire. Can anyone tell me where that harness plugs in?
vacuum the system down and then filled. Also burped it many times after filled. Did all this after replacing blown head gaskets. I know the head gasket job worked well because temps would run over 230 and now at idle 210 max. It also held vacuum for 15 minutes when I filled the coolant system...
I am running a new 3 row spectra radiator and just ordered a spectra condenser which is more open to allow air to flow. The same p/n is used for 96,97 and 98. Hope this will make a difference. Down low the condenser is completely clogged up with crap and fins are all collapsed
at cruising speed temps reach 210-215. Fan is running and pulling good air. New radiator and water pump. Antifreeze was filled by vacuum and burped as well. Is the temps normal?
Yes its good and does not suck in at all. Found a diagram for a 03 4v and the hose sucking in is from the top nipple on the thermostate housing to the oil cooler
radiator is Spectra, 3 row aluminum. The hose that collapses is the one that goes from the from the thermostats housing to the block in front of the oil filter. pics would be hard to take
The lower hose stays sucked in if I Hold 2500 rpms for a little time. The hose from the tank is open and does not suck shut at all. Is it possible the thermostat can be put in backwards? When warming up the top hose stays cool until around 195 then the stat opens and the top hose get hot and...
While checking out coolant system on my 1996 cobra I noticed the coolant hose that comes off the thermostat housing and goes to a nipple by the oil filter was collapsing when I reved the engine. Is that normal or what could cause it to do it?
Cooling fan was not coming on after engine reached 210 degrees. every forum I looked at said turn on ac and see if fan comes on. AC was not charged but charged it today and sure enough fan came on when ac was on. turn ac off and fan stops at 210 engine temp. If mmrc is bad would the fans work...
I have googled torque specs on 4.6 DOHC head bolts. One search stated 1st torque to 30 ft lb
2nd tighten additional 90 degrees
3rd loosen bolts minimum 1 full turn
4th tighten to 30 ft lb
5th tighten additional 90 degree
6th tighten additional 90 degree
90 degree= 1/4 turn but I do have a...
When removing the long timing chain on 4.6 do I just remove the two bolts on tensioner and remove it to get the chain off. I heard something about putting it in a vise to compress it to install. Am I on the right track.
