Would be cool to see Billy in IMSA again. Excited to see him in British GT though!

No, I get what you are saying. A. I just do not think the AC compressor and belt system could create enough load on the crankshaft to cause a noise issue (especially if Ford went back to the stretchy-belt). Maybe accelerated wear on the bearings and bearing surfaces in the long-term, but in...

Well, take the serpentine belt off and start the engine... Check for the noise. However, I highly, highly.... highly, doubt anything on the FEAD is causing enough load on the engine to make the crank or rods shift about, creating noise. Impossible? No. Likely? Not very. What's in CeraTech...

They probably wanted to cost reduce the system, change some things like you said, and probably changed the design of the "stretchy" belt original version... Hmmm. I would think this would be a direction to not go, especially with the increased RPM of the next Gen Coyotes from the Gen 1... If...

So, a single case? What if the culprit of the noise was a bad serpentine belt and he solved his issue simply because he replaced it, and not related to design? I can say that the MY's after that TSB had the redesign incorporated into it (so for the 13/14MY cars). If Ford went away from it some...

DFI's con is creating increased particulates... DFI helps be able to increase combustion efficiency and control (i.e add compression without detonation for a specific octane(s)). Helps a little with fuel economy.

I don't think it's fair/correct to state that the noises heard from the Gen 1 Coyote are the same as in the Gen 3 Coyote. Furthermore, I don't think it's fair/correct to lump the noises into one main issue. The Gen 1 Coyote had a few different noise issues that were ticks, rattles or squeaks...

SSM = Special Service Message, which is pretty much what you are stating - a supplement to service information.

The plasma-transfer cylinder walls were used in the 2011-12 Condor and 2013-14 Trinity GT500 engine as well. http://www.mustangandfords.com/news/m5lp-1203-2013-ford-shelby-gt500-trinity-5-8l-v8/ It seems the manufacturing and processing for the GT500 engines was in Germany and assembled in the...

According to the quoted article, the hood and fenders are aluminum.

Just stay on top of fluid changes:thumbsup:

Current Ford Performance Driving School instructor Drew Staveley and G3 Racing owner/driver Frank Gannett will switch from Ginetta G55's to Mustang GT4's under Ian Lacy, a previous Ford Performance Driving School instructor and substitute hot-shoe driver, for the 2019 season of SRO "GT4...

Im fairly certain a few members have tracked A10 cars without transmission issues of any sort...

I was thinking that, too, but the results would be more meaningful in A-B-A format.

Just to make sure, and im just basing this off the way your post comes off: Torsen = differential Hypoid = design of ring & pinion Rear End = the assembly of the rear housing with the differential and ring & pinion installed Maybe someone can try running their car on track without the rear...

When it comes down to it, the thing affecting people is the factory warnings and then limp mode, preventing people from fully completing and enjoying a track day. Behind that, and why Ford has the checks in place, is to keep the car from failure. At rear axle gear oil temperatures of around...

Is Dean coming back as a driver!? https://sportscar365.com/imsa/preparations-interest-building-for-michelin-encore/ Not "...and will make KohR's racing return...", but "his"...

Interesting as Pennzoil UP has less moly, zinc and phosphate than the Redline and Mobil 1. Take a look at the VOA's out there. KV's are also not that far apart. I wonder if you were to fill the engine, again, with the Redline or Mobil 1 if the noise would be gone or would come back?

I'm curious what manual transmission is to be coupled the GT500's engine... TR-6060? TR-6070? The TR-3160 isn't strong enough, even in GT350 spec. The MT-82::crackup: Another Getrag? As far as the 10-speed auto, I can see that... It is the cheaper option and it is capable. About the DCT, it...
