Been a sho owner for a year,

Have yet to drive it yet .
It's a 90 sho white ext. Tan interior bought from the second owner
Who was a Ford tech and now a coworker of mine ,
It didn't run so I yanked the engine to do a fresh 60k service .
The engine is still on a stand due to the year of trying to get the proper rod bearings.
After lurking around here I found out about rcm automotive , and promptly ordered them ,
Engine should be going back in wuthen the next month and I'm excited to drive it,

Pics soon, she's rough but she's mine.

Man, that's rough. Was there another reason why you pulled the motor? A 60k and rod bearing are both usually done with the engine in the car. Hope you get it running.

And welcome:wave:

thanks,
I dignt want to have a lift tied up for so long , so i pulled the engine to allow me to work on it easier in ky down time and after hours,
Plus its easier to get everything nice and clean.

It is easier to access everything with the engine out.....just seems like a lot of extra work. Could probably do a 60k and rod bearings in a weekend if you are handy with a wrench.

I'm pretty good with a wrench (gm and mopar tech) .
Its just Damn hard to work 12 hours a day on a customers car then start to work on your own lol

Honestly I'd rather have the Engine out as well, just like you said it's easier and you can clean everything. Welcome to SHOForum hope you get it all back togther soon and start enjoying it!

That's why my computer hasn't been upgraded in over a year and I quit golf.
