    100% Fixed :driver: Fixed. Finally!!!!! Notwithstanding the other issues I created, the last and final problem was a coil. When I was pulling things apart, I pulled the boots off the oils and noted one spring was not fully set. Gotta Run.... off to the Auction to find some other...

    Post analysis - Fouled injector which I replaced. Didn't fully connect air intake which explains lean code Didn't fully connect the MAF - Explains the intermittent issues So if I would have just replaced the loud injector, connected the air intake and MAF properly I would be in happy...

    Ever seen A grown man cry So I swapped out the injector. No fuel pressure when I popped the rail (Hmm - read on) and fired it up. The loud tap/tick went away but then a whole s-load of problems hit the codes: P0003 (regulator - low pressure) c0707 - not sure C3403 Went and picked up...

    She Coded Get the paddles out.... Cylinder 7 Missfire and Running lean bank 2 - Running rough just like before. Fortunately it's the other side. I Disconnected Injector 7 and the vehicle ran pretty much the same. So I may have forgotten to tighten the air intake to the throttle body...

    Im pretty sure it is the injector as it is appears to happen with heavy fuel pressure. I'll assume there is more pressure under load acceleration than idle rev. If it was exhaust one would think the noise would be there constantly notwithstanding the dampening effect of a warm engine. I;m...

    SAGA Continues So.... as the story goes. Engine is great! But I have a very loud injector.......now everything is making sense. I think I may have found a contributing factor to this whole mishap. When they put the rocker on, I hooked up the injector on the cylinder and it was...

    The Book said 19 hours at a rate of $110 plus parts etc. Head work of $650 so all in it would have been around $2700.

    Yeah baby :headbang::headbang::headbang: Well...at exactly 4:15 PM yesterday I had the engine all back together. 4:16 I cracked a beer looking at the glorious build and thinking about where that one extra bolt goes that I had left over. 4:17 I sat in the drivers seat and put the...

    Exciting time gentlemen. I got my head back today all shiny and new. $8.00 for the valve and a total of $645 for everything around it. $360 for cleaning/valve job and then 285 for all gaskets and new bolts. Note: I live in Canada where parts seem to a price of their own. I Broke two...

    Not sure about the history and events. I bought this pretty cheap and only drove it for 2 weeks. The codes were Fuel injector and Misfire so I replaced the injector and COP. I drove it for a while with the miss - Fuel Rich on bank two code popped up a few times. Fuel washed out the cylinder...

    Today is the Day! A slight set back in timing. Had to do the Amazon order for the Ford Cam Tools. Paid Xtra for rush only to get an e-mail of a shipping delay due to poor weather conditions in my area. I've been seeing the sun...not sure what UPS sees. Anyhow. The tools are here and it...

    Fuel Shut Off Help

    Thanks Crankshaft sensor did the trick for me. Never thought of hitting the inertia. I'm deep in engine tear down now....... As for relative compression. It works and will read no compression and compression in relation to other cylinders. I thought I would pass this on as pulling all...

    ok a picture is worth a thousand words Thanks Tom and Thermo. See the pictures below. My chains do not have colored links and the cam sprockets have a line vs tic tac I 'm going to just put the bolt in, rotate 360 + to get the cam sprocket lines face up and timing mark at 6 o clock...

    Just so I'm clear But man I'm confused. WHat is the point of TDC and locking the CAMS in place. How would I know the relationship of cam sprocket to crank for correct timing after words once the cam moves. Perhaps I'll slip the timing cover, crank and bolt on and move it to TDC. Someone...

    Fuggered again Spent time getting the engine TDC compression stroke without a compression gauge (assumed the paint and l line on the cam sprocket signified Compression stroke with the crankshaft at TDC mark). I got so flustered trying to pull the crank pulley with the washer in it, it...

    Milestone Finally got the timing cover off. Good thing I don't do this for a living! Steering Pump removal was a real PIA. But it's all in the past. I also decided I'll do both heads once I confirm the one piston isn't mangled. Thanks for the the help to date. Need to get the...

    Culprit and next to do Laugh # 2 Remove the washer from the inside of the crank pulley or she'll never come off even if your superman. Next task - Power Steering. Ahhh... can a guy just remove the pulley or do i need to go through the process per the book. I.e skid plate, bolts etc

    Stuck on the crankcase pulley So everything was going well and thought I may even have the head off today until.... Crankcase pulley won't come off. Lot's of torque on the puller and it wont budge. I think I may have cracked the timing cover as well as a result of over torquing the...

    Ok...First good laugh. Soaked the flange bolts over night. They looked good. Put the impact on them....rattled for 15 minutes, more blaster, more rattling. WTF. Stamp....you forgot to tell me to put the impact in reverse. Came off in a couple of seconds. As for removing the exhaust...

    Toms 89 - Great tip with the elastic and comments on the head. Piston smack...hmmm. I'm sure hoping the shop did the leak-down as I asked and the problem is only the intake valve being bent. I don't quite get how that pushes the rocker off but I'm sure I'll understand once the head is off...
