    Oil

    The superiority of synthetic oil is that it flows much better cold, lubricating all the engine parts better sooner so you don't have dry starts. And for those of us who like to thrash the engine on hot days for hours at a time, synthetic resists thermal break down and maintains stable film...

    Oil

    Its always bad to switch back to Dyno oil because it is an inferior product.

    Still won't start!!!!

    I suggest you double check a connector center rear of engine. It provides the ground for the injectors and may have been disconnected when removing the rear valve cover. I spent many hours trying to start one of these after a routine reseal, only to find that the main wiring to the...

    OML 10mm Racing Spark Plug Wires

    Stock type wires offer the best blend of compromise to stock type applications. If you are boosting the engine then you may have to look at improvments to match your system. By the way, reisistence in a wire can actually make the spark hotter and result in a higher level of performance.

    Need front alignment help (alignment spec sheet pic inside)

    having a little negative camber and a little toe out is good for a performance car driven on the street. If you want to maximise tire wear then I would reduce the toe out. But be aware that changing the setting will affect turn in, in a negative way. If that was my SHO and it didn't pull...

    What Struts are Best for Street Driving

    Sensatrac is better than a worn out stock strut. If you want a good strut then get Koni.

    CircleTrack SHO

    CircleTrack SHO

    Rear drive cars on the oval track are set up with "wedge" in the chassis. That is where the static weight is biased with the left rear and the right front weighing more than the left front and the right rear. This is done to promote forward bite from the left rear. The one who said to scale...

    Grafting in Acura headlights?

    The Toyota lights in the gen 2 are from an eighty seven four door sedan. They are not glued in, but they are screwed in. It is not really much of a concern how they look from your point of view, because I am more interested in how they illuminate the road in front of me. The reason that they...

    3 or 4 valves loose

    If the valve moves sideways when it is open, then the valve guides in the head are worn out. Take it to a machine shop and they should be able to install new guides.

    Predictable intermitting CE

    If I had TPS. codes I would change it again.

    Predictable intermitting CE

    Replacing with new parts does not always mean that you have good parts. Part condition must be verified with testing. New defective parts are installed every day. Taurus SHO demands that you have capability to test part performance Yes?
