If the machine shop is competent then it is, but if they are not then they will ruin the block because Coyote's don't have threads at the top of the block near the deck, they are down in the block near the mains for strength and rigidity.
It's an interference fit piece and without the proper tool you'll do more harm than good if you continue doing it this way. Is it just the hub or do you have the damper as well? If you have the damper reinstall it and use a puller as mentioned to remove the entire assembly. If you don't have the...
I don't see much reason to port a factory gen 3 head, not when they can support over 600hp if you spin the engine high enough. When I flowed a set of CJ heads I believe they were 360cfm @ .600", I want to say that is 20-30 counts higher than a factory head and this was back in 2016. The general...
Ah hahahaha 5/32" haven't used that crap since the 70's, even pro stock in the 70's was around .040" ring thickness. If I'm mistaken the high dollar N/A dry sump engines are around .5mm-.6mm, maybe slightly thicker but not much, I know for sure .7mm.
Really? no experience? How many machine shops have you been in? How many modulars have you built? Gapless rings don't work because the machining on the late model engines and machining today period is much better than what it was when gapless rings came out. Instead of gapless rings we use...
Doesn't make sense, sometimes they put things into contracts that prevent early pay offs or third party payoffs, but when I bought my wife her Ranger and traded my '14 in there was no issues there with transferring anything.
never had issues with either vehicle I bought during COVID, banks and dealers were easy to deal with. If the dealer is over charging for a car then yes the bank is hesitant to loan the money because they don't feel the value is there but it was like that before COVID.
Price out a quality cat-back right now and figure the cost for AE. If you want to always be loud then a cat-back is the way to go, otherwise I don't ever see a reason not to have AE. I leave at 5 a.m. daily so having it quiet is a plus, but when I come home it's always in track mode.
I have yet to see where gapless rings work with any modular ford. Just run the std ring pack unless you are tying to do some trick stuff and want to tear it down again to optimize ring gap.
Well according to Mejohn50 post if you pull any interior parts then you are relegated back to the old rules (according to the guy who teched him) which I agree is BS, missing rear seats will not affect the cars safety. My guess is the tech officials are still learning the rules or the rules...
I was thinking about that, some of these cars come with a factory rear seat delete stock, how will they know? If you have bare metal showing or an obvious aftermarket kit then yes, but what if you buy the FRPP or similar rear seat delete kit? Neither NHRA or IHRA can overrule the factory when it...
The rules also state a slick car needs the stud protruding from the lug, this was a radial car and it's a low 10 sec car, not a outlaw single digit car. They let a few others go without a word and it was just irritating, not looking forward to going back for a while.
Really depends on the tech, if he said something then they are looking for it. Same went for a friend of mine the guy was half way teching his race car and asking instead of verifying safety requirements, but then went out of his way to mention the enclosed front wheel lugs. I chuckled because...
I'm waiting until I get to the track at the end of the month before I pass any judgement on performance, but the shifting is much better than stock, car isn't lugging around in 10th gear at 4X mph anymore. I don't expect massive gains on 93 but as long as it is faster than the stock tune on the...
Tell him what you are experiencing and that you need a different use OS in order for it to log the stock file. It takes 20 min or so the first time after that it's 5-10 min each time.
This, Lund just finished mine and like I said I had to try a different user OS in order for it to read the data logs correctly. Once you have the flasher setup the way the tuner wants (Lund has a whole tutorial for their preferences) and you enter the right user OS into the vehicle editor...
You have to get the right user OS for the vehicle profile editor, had the same issue when I was tuning and I tried 2 different ones, the second one worked perfectly for the app on my phone and it was finished in 2 revisions. One user OS is for the laptop and the other would be for the app...
