[88sc_gt]

alright.

i got into the cobra pretty hard today for the first time. so by then i should be modified and maybe go ahead and dyno oke:

 

[suprjagr]

i'm in...let me know the date for sure

 

[whitelx]

Any date set yet? Im thinking around end of Feb. early March. That would give everyone enough time to get ready. I still need to replace myoil pan gasket and get a FPR. Anyone ever done an oil pan gasket on a Fox? :shrug:

Yep. Unbolt the motor mounts, jack the motor as high as possible, lower iol pan and replace. Obviously you'll want to watch out for contact between lines, engine to firewall and other various plumbing while jacking up the motor. May even need to unbolt the tranny mount a bit. Just depends. I actually had to change a bad oil pump while in Yakima with the motor still in the engine bay. Pain in the ass but it can be done.

Cool thanks Greg. I think Im gonna pick up a Chiltons at work tomorrow so I will have a step by step. Gonna try and go to my buddys house and do it, cause I think they would flip out here at my apartment complex. They already did when I did the fuel pump on the Contour.

I hate that about apt comp. You'l also need some blue rtv for the end seals that go between the timing cover/pan and the rear main/pan. Some gaskets are 1 pc others are 4pc. Take care to dig out all that old rtv in those areas so the new stuff will be able to mount freely into those areas. If not you'll have small pesky leaks. It may seem like a minor thing but it will be frustrating to go through all that work and have a leak.

[Joe5.0]

Im not likeing the Sound of this Dyno. If it was a DynoJet or Mustang Dyno id Be Interested.

 

[04MystiCobra]

What kind is it?

 

[whippleblown03]

dyno dynamics! it will read alot lower than others but who cares! add 17% to your hp # and it will be close to others! plus its what it can lay down at the track!

 

[04MystiCobra]

Dates yet? It will be close(timewise) for me. :shrug:

 

[88sc_gt]

i stopped by there yesterday. he said we just need to let him know a date and he can see if its open.

i believe the next 2 weekends now he said he is busy. might have to call and confirm for sure, but it seems like late this month maybe the 25th? would be best.

 

[01Saleen]

How many do we have going now?

 

[88sc_gt]

i'll go whenever we plan it.

If you guys want to set up a day at our place $45.00 per car. That is our standard group rate. Its a bit of a drive but the gas would be paid for.
