    Surprisingly they weren't bad and didn't have a shit ton of carbon buildup. The previous owner took great care of it. I continued that and i use only full synthetic mobile 1. Change it every 3k.

    Car is complete!

    After 11 hrs of tedious work and helping my brother-in-law on this large job, we got finished around 7pm. We started working on it around 8 this morning. Alot of undoing wiring, fuel rails, HPFP, piping, etc we got to the nitty gritty around 2pm getting the old water pump and chain out. Wasnt...

    Once we got everything torn apart, getting the old water pump out wasnt terrible but it was indeed leaking. So we got that out of the way. Next is we're in the process of getting the new timing chain set installed. We'll get the timing set at the correct spots for the cam shafts. Re install...

    Discovered I have a rear turbo seal leaking

    As me and my brother-in-law started the tear down for my car we ran into the rear turbo that has a failed seal. Gonna have to get a new seal. It's unknown how long its been leaking as these rely on oil pressure to maintain lubrication thus preventing burn up and failure. Im hoping i don't need...

    Engine Temp Cold, Fans Running On High??

    It was running for about 10ish minutes before I discovered the fans running on high which would otherwise indicate am overheat condition. I didnt see any leaks or fluid on the ground no busted hoses or any steam.

    Engine Temp Cold, Fans Running On High??

    Went out to leave for lunch. I had my car on remote start mode and as i walked up i heard loud fans like that's not normal. Saw no steam or any signs of fluid on the ground. Got in and i got a engine temperature warning but my guage read "Cold". I immediately shut the car off. Checked around for...

    Chrome Delete Trunk Trim

    I agree. It just makes me nervous at times when i think this thing will eventually puke coolant but alas its been good.

    Chrome Delete Trunk Trim

    126k and the person i bought it from didn't say he had any issues and i took his word for it. **** since march ive had zero mechanical issues at all. The only hiccup was a dirty battery connection back in august when the car shut off on me as i was backing into a parking space. Cleaned up the...

    Chrome Delete Trunk Trim

    I scrapped the idea for now. Not enough time and the weather hasnt helped. Now that it's December it's a shelved idea until next spring. Mechanical stuff is first. I gotta get my water pump and timing chain done next weekend.

    Correct Year Parts Do Matter

    Me too! I now get to play a game of where is this water coming from. I have a water leak through the sunroof. 2nd or 3rd time it's happened. I have to find the drain lines.

    Correct Year Parts Do Matter

    It was a learning experience. I didnt think Ford would change the design of a light housing from 2010-12. Apparently 2013+ it was slightly different? But I have it mounted and it's holding extremely well. But also having to direct wire it so it at least works. The sole reason for that was a...
