  1. Adding a six point roll bar to 2015 GT Convertible

    Watch Big Time's video on putting a roll cage in a Fox Body mustang. Lots of work was needed.
  2. Thoughts on the shape of this used spark plug? I thought I had a head gasket issue. Now I am not so sure.

    I replaced the spark plug. The other three after I pulled them were pristine. So I'm leaving them in. They looked brand new. I don't know exactly when the last owner did this maintenance. Haven't been able to get it to throw a code in a few weeks. So I will swap the ignition coils and see if...
  3. Thoughts on the shape of this used spark plug? I thought I had a head gasket issue. Now I am not so sure.

    That does look like a normal piston head from the teardown I am looking at from this teardown.
  4. Thoughts on the shape of this used spark plug? I thought I had a head gasket issue. Now I am not so sure.

    Yes. Compression test came up just short of 170psi. So it was pretty healthy. I don't have a leakdown tester though. So I'm not able to test that out.
  5. Thoughts on the shape of this used spark plug? I thought I had a head gasket issue. Now I am not so sure.

    Here's some shots of my #1 cylinder. I don't really notice any issues with it. Just a bit wet.
  6. Thoughts on the shape of this used spark plug? I thought I had a head gasket issue. Now I am not so sure.

    So it turns out this is a fairly recently replaced spark plug. The other three I took out today to check. Looked brand new. So this first cylinder is getting pretty dirty. Compared to the other three. Significantly dirtier. I'm so lost by this. I guess my piston rings on #1 are pretty worn or I...
  7. Thoughts on the shape of this used spark plug? I thought I had a head gasket issue. Now I am not so sure.

    I just removed the #1 cylinder spark plug that had been giving me a misfire code. I camera borescope the cylinder and didn't find any issues with the cylinder or piston head. It didn't seem to be steam cleaned like I was expecting. Since I think I have a bad head gasket. But the cylinder was wet...
  8. Would you return this Head Gasket Kit after being a bit bent?

    They already sent me a shipping label. So it's going in the mail tomorrow. And they'll send a replacement once they see the tracking start for the return. So hopefully I get it without issue. This time no oil or coolant jugs in the box.
  9. Would you return this Head Gasket Kit after being a bit bent?

    I just had the head gasket delivered and it was shipped with some bulking things. And the airbags didn't hold up inside. Would you consider returning this or would it not really matter? I haven't opened the package because it says its not returnable if opened. So I can only slightly feel from...
  10. DEALERSHIP OR SHOP FOR 10R80 TRANS FLUID CHANGE?

    WTF? These prices are so high. My 2 transmission fluid changes. NOT FLUSHES. Have been below 300$ and I used ford points I get to keep it below 200$.
  11. Any experience with the Fel-Pro kit for head gasket repair?

    Bought the ARP bolt set. But still trying to figure if I want to do Fel-Pro or OEM. OEM from ford is crazy expensive.
  12. Rough idle and stalling as returned

    I had both exhaust side VVT Solenoids replaced because they were sticking. I would just replace them all.
  13. Are people just not buying Mustang GTs (or cars for that matter)?

    Ya, my 2019 GT PP1 with the 401A package is holding around 30K but I don't have many miles on it. Because I work remote for now. But seriously the car is faster than the DarkHorse. I did get approved to buy a GTD when they were released for orders. But I didn't have GTD money then.
  14. Are people just not buying Mustang GTs (or cars for that matter)?

    I mean. Why should I buy a new car? I bought a 2015 that I need to fix up. But my 2019 GT is flawless as it can be for 7 years of age. I really wonder if its because cars are lasting so long now compared to the past?
  15. Trans oil change

    Very much the same for me. I don't beat on the car at all. I'm very timid with it. But I haven't had any serious issues either like others have had. Occasionally I get a hung down shift out of nowhere. Like 2 times a year maybe. But nothing else so far.
  16. Trans oil change

    I have the older A10 Transmission. So it's kind of useless with the how the CDF bushing gets ruined. But I change my fluid every 30K miles.
  17. Any experience with the Fel-Pro kit for head gasket repair?

    My concern with the Monotune one is the missing pathways for coolant between the cylinders. It only has the one hole for the updated bloc design.
  18. Any experience with the Fel-Pro kit for head gasket repair?

    I was thinking about picking up this kit from Rock Auto for the head gasket repair on my 2.3L. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this Fel-Pro head gasket? Is there anything else I should replace while I'm tearing the engine apart? I need to get the Head Studs from ARP but I didn't...
  19. What service manual should I use for a repair?

    any chance you can link the seller? I just picked up a sweet deal on the new S550 Haynes manual. Really brings me back to build my SN95 back in the 00's.
