K4fxd MMR and other brands are designed off removing the factory freeze plugs, and install a crossover line between the heads for coolant flow, all they did is copy what was done from the 4.6L motors that Ford made from the factory. That's what Jackson1320 posted a pic of.
Used Bama tune for a few years. Had issues at steady throttle in the 1800-2100 RPM range. Had an PMAS intake and Boss manifold with 47LU injectors, and headers. Changed to 18 mani still same throttle issue. Swapped to boosted setup and Palm Beach Dyno tune and no issues since. Bama was ok for...
I installed the upr version of this, when the motor was out. Haven't noticed a difference. When my first motor blew it took out cylinder 6, not quite 7 or 8.
When the crank timing gear was on the end of the crank the crack was open quite a bit. It was a very snug fit when they went on. If I had to guess they are cracking due to it being too tight and when the metal expands from heat and it's running at a high rpm they crack. They do look beefier then...
Don't know what the issue with MMR is. I know there engine builds aren't that great or people who balance there rotating assembly but parts seem ok. Want to order Modular head shop 1200hp rotating assembly. Also have phenolic spacers and upgraded VMP intercooler pump to go in with mods...
Ordered from Vivid racing a few days ago and they cancelled the block saying it was out of stock. Currently running no MMR parts, stock tensioners, boundary crank timing gear and oil pump gears. Been running 91 octane mixed with boostane for 15 months. Knew head bolts would stretch and...
Head gaskets went out, car is mixing coolant in oil, was eating oil for 7 months.
So tearing down motor to see what is reusable, heads should be good, replacing timing components, already ordered the following
MMR timing chain guides,
Boss 302R tensioners,
ARP timing chain and tensioner bolts...
Android are the cheapest next option up far better User Interface and better hardware. My TomTop died after 7 months and I replaced it with the Android unit. Eventually will do a Sync 3 when it fails but it's been going strong for almost 3yrs.
