Hello all, yes this is maybe the millionth time you've heard this question! I'm just trying to get a more specific answer. I have a 97 car with a supercharged coyote in it (VMP 2.3L Gen2R) and since it dropped a lifter I'm going for a simple rebuild. Forged internals, obviously, but what about...

I’ve had my 2004 mustang GT 5 speed for about a year now and I still can’t figure out this problem. If I drive it regularly and just cruise the car runs fine. But once I go 3/4 to WOT the car jerks and cuts in and out. Sometimes the exhaust will make a popping sound at idle (sounds like it’s...

Just recently put an 01 engine into my 02 v6 New edge. The engine fires up, but is very hard to start. Acts like it’s cammed once it starts. Almost Like a vacuum line is unplugged?

Hello, as the tittle says I've got a V6 2005 Mustang. My thermostat housing blew and shot out all my coolant. I pulled over towed my car somewhere safe and replaced the thermostat housing. Unfortunately, on the way home it still had issues that lead me to believe that I had blown a head gasket...
