What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

Today I bought a sleeved short-block...

I know, I know......I'm not the 1st to do such a thing.
At least you didn't buy an iced tea.

I blew the dust out of it finally. Our first 60 degree week. Back in hibernation for tomorrow though because its supposed to rain (which will spread all that leftover salt all over). ITS ALMOST TIME!

On my journey to restore car back to stockish

After putting stock downpipe back on, and stock cai, I noticed my o2 sensor was black. Chef sent me his o2 sensor, it was 100x cleaner so makes me wonder if my plugs are foiled too

It’s 30* outside so rented a flat bay for 5 bucks for an hour

Time to swap plugs

How long should I let engine cool down before swapping?

why? I would wait till the engine isn't so hot it'll burn you any time you brush against it.
Because I realize ford perf tune w the stock stuff was best for me, I had mod itch. Downpipe felt good but it trashed my o2 sensor I assume it prob fouled plugs too.

I should of just stayed at that point but nope

It was fun and I wanted to do it all.
Lol

whew, I thought you were going to go buy a Camaro 1LE. just kidding!
I mean I’m leaving my full suspension etc.

My concern is randomly my afr goes everywhere.

Ie. Cruising 60mph cruise control flat land

Goes from steady 14afr to 12-15-12-16-12-15-12-16 for like 5-10 seconds

I cannot recall it happening before the downpipe

Once I removed downpipe I still had it, so chef sent me a used o2 sensor, mine vs his.

My logic is if the o2 sensor was this dirty maybe a new set of plugs would benefit. I just pulled plugs and they look fine I thinks but I am tossing new ones in anyway since already got them out

What’s with the white stuff on bottom or coil packs? Normal?


Edit just checked all 4 plugs gap, exact same gap as the 0.028 I gapped them too originally. So they held up to the increased boost from downpipe like a charm


This little gadget from China and feeler guage works great!

I would just get rid of the girlfriend, if you are afraid of her finding out about your wife and pouring sugar in your gas tank. 😁

I let an ex stay the night, she was militsry and hurricanes came through etc. so they told them to leave base

She drove 8 hours to stay at my pad, long story short. It wasn’t just a can I stay over for a weekend,

I was dating someone and she tried to rape me, I fled the house I came home next day half my clothes and shit was broken. I had to call cops to remove her

But she didn’t damage my garage filled with motorcycles and cars.

Fuk ex’s. It’s weird thouth she always talked to me like a friend, never once an idea to try to get back together. My gf even said it’s fine if she used guest bedroom

These are the adventures of freepenguin I ran away from my own house at 2am and called grandma to pick me up. Bich hid my keys somewhere. It was like 0* out lmao

Yesterday I washed it after months of snow and ice, today I admired its beauty as I walked to work. My place of business is approximately 175 ft from my house.

I thought we called that 'revenge' sex.
Sure was, I didn’t care really about the 1000 bucks she trashed, but she tore up my penguin sweater that Isn’t any longer made :| seriously I looooved it. Ugly as hell but dope

But in all seriousness what upset me 10000% is she broke snow globes in my house she gave me when we was like 17.

My car stepped onto glass, next day I came home and he had a piece of glass stuck in his paw. I got it out, but fuck me. Ruin my stuff, don’t harm my animal.

To be fair, I know 100000x she never would of wantsd him hurt. But it happened. I pulled it out and he quit gimping on his paw.



Oh I have 4000 miles on these plugs, they look pretty much fine. I swapped new set in anyway. Since I already bought a set and have them out.


Free to anyone. Paying it foreword.

If anyone wants these, they are ruthenium’s, stock heat plugs.
(Not colder)

They are all gapped 0.028 I double checked all 4 before boxing up. They run about 50-60 bucks.
