Turn the power on without your foot on the clutch and let the valves cycle first. Alternatively if you clutch it in before pressing anything it will cycle the valves. Then hit the start.
I still don't buy it. If it had enough crankcase pressure to blow out the drain plug, the dipstick would have blown out well before that. Incorrect figment of the drain plug or repeated use of the same drain plug may have worn it down. I dont know what the exact issue was, but saying that...
The GT500 runs a metal pan and plug.
However, that YouTube video and event you are talking about is not normal. If any car, plastic drain plug or not, blows their plug out during a pull, it means that:
1. It's wasn't on properly or functioning correctly and/or
2. That engine has some serious...
I'm asking about the GT x-pipe. I have recently discovered the GT delete will fit a 350, and as its 2.75" I wouldnt mind giving it a try. I know LTH does a 2.75" one for a 350, but I'd prefer FP.
Hey all,
Random sort of question. But just seeing if anyone has very recently purchased a FP X pipe.
Reason for asking is that the current x-pipe pictured on the Ford Performance website (and others) shows an x-pipe that is welded together in multiple segments (pictured below). I know that in...
No worries, I was just curious as after seeing your post I saw you can buy them from Magnaflow on their own but there were two sizes.
You should definitely get a sound clip going on when you can.
I personally think this thread is now starting to head into the graveyard of 350 failure threads. And I'm not having a go at anyone so please don't take this the wrong way.
Ford are the only ones who have the data in regards to failures, number of failures, probable causes, etc etc. That's it...
Like I said earlier, you obviously gave it hell while the oil was cold.
In all seriousness though, there is obviously issues with the FPC motor, and it changed over the years. Ford may have fixed some of the failings of the early models, but then consistent valve issues appeared in the later...
C'mon Tomster, I though you would have known by now that every voodoo failure has been from people not breaking it in correctly or hammering it while cold, included all the 2019+ models that have dropped valves. Nothing to see here....:lipssealed:
Nice video, good quality. :thumbsup:
Just to add my 2c. There shouldn't be any more oil in the passenger side on a track day than normal driving, in fact it's probably the opposite. The PCV valve shuts at WOT and high vacuum(which is a staple of tracking), so unless your PCV valve is not...
MAF's dont require a tune as such, but a re-calibration, which can only be done via a tune....confusing I know. MAF sensors are scaled for a certain intake diameter to deduce total airflow. Change the size of the pipe without changing the scaling, and you'll under or over fuel it. So in essence...
Hey guys,
After an OEM 19+ GT350/GT500 swing spoiler. Need to be able to ship it at my cost obviously. Only after OEM, must be in good condition.
Thanks
Simon
Ford actually has a full size spare tire kit in their inventory, as they were required on some export cars. Like my Gt350 picutred below. But although it's good to have a full size spare, it also uses ALL the trunk space.
In know signature wheel has a spare now also. There is a thread on it in...
