    Cooling System Confusion

    I didn't tear it down for any big reason related to the motor, it didn't overheat before or anything. I tore it out to do a TKX swap, clutch, and motor refresh. Head journals needed polishing and valves were lapped, so new valves and redone seats, plus some fun MMR stuff up top. I'm thinking a...

    Cooling System Confusion

    Hello again everybody, I want opinions. I have a 1997 Mustang with a SC coyote swap, but recently tore the motor down a little and put it all back together. Here's my issue. Once it gets up to temp and I'm driving around, the computer monitored coolant temp stays perfect. Right where you want...

    Ford Coyote redone heads, timing, now heavy tick from inside valve cover?

    @vr4 and @CobraBob I contacted MMR specifically about this issue since I believe a contributing factor is the upgraded springs pulling back against the tensioner. They recommended genuine Ford Performance parts instead, and upon looking at other reviews, I've got goosebumps about whether Cloyes...

    Ford Coyote redone heads, timing, now heavy tick from inside valve cover?

    Luckily it seems like it is faulty tensioner hardware on the passenger side, specifically the secondary tensioner. After running it without the valve cover for a few seconds, I noticed how loose the secondary chain guide seemed and later found the chain had literally no extra tension. Not...

    Ford Coyote redone heads, timing, now heavy tick from inside valve cover?

    Well, I suppose the VCT could still make sense because they're right at the oil cap. But then only one side does it. Hopefully I won't get to the point where I need to remove the cams just to take out brand new lash adjusters and test them in a vice. Gonna see if I can rig it up to run...

    Ford Coyote redone heads, timing, now heavy tick from inside valve cover?

    Apologies, it was a quick paste over from Factory Five. I sometimes forget the engine questions belong with the S550 when the motor is in an SN95. Otherwise, I was told by MMR that these springs should work with the VCT in combination with only 12psi of boost. How would that cause tapping...

    Ford Coyote redone heads, timing, now heavy tick from inside valve cover?

    Hello everyone! I'm here for a smidge of advice, where ever I can find it. I have a Gen 1 coyote which I just recently pulled out (mainly for TKX swap). I mostly focused on heads and timing. It got new lifters, MMR springs/retainers, billitt oil pump/crank sprocket, pickup tube, windage tray...

    TVS Oil Change

    TVS blowers are mostly all the same, especially since they mostly come from Eaton with minor changes from specific manufacturers. I only comment this because you do not specify the exact supercharger brand in your title. I've never had oil come out of any of my VMP units when I open the oil...

    TVS Oil Change

    CHECK YOUR MANUFACTURER SPECS. I know this is a dead threat but for anyone looking at this thread for reference about how much oil a TVS supercharger takes, you DO NOT FILL IT TO THE FILL PLUG in most cases. For instance, VMP 2.3l TVS units will not reach the fill plug with 6oz. You will...

    F150 Coyote Vacuum hoses?

    Small note: when I first ran the car with no vacuum hoses hooked up at all, the engine revved out fine. So I dont think my fuel pump is weak or anything like that. Sent from my SM-G975U using the svtperformance.com mobile app

    F150 Coyote Vacuum hoses?

    Hey! I just finished dropping a 2013 Coyote into a 97 Mustang, and I'm having trouble getting the vacuum hoses right. Does anyone have a picture or diagram of what they connected to what? I know the intake needs reference to fuel pressure but the port on the back of the intake doesn't seem to...
