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...

So i've just completely rebuilt the rear-end of my 1990 fox for the first time and replaced the 2.73:1 ratio with the 4.10:1. When starting, it's advised to reuse the pinion shim from the original pinion gear however we deemed that we were not able to shim the ring gear enough to account for...

Hello! My 5.0 has about 140k on it, so I've recently replaced my head gaskets and rebuilt my heads, but now my car produces lots of blue/white smoke out of the passenger tail pipe. It does have an H pipe, so a little smoke comes out the driver, but not much. Everything on the car is stock except...

Question is in the title. Nothing wrong with the engine, just has 200K miles. All I want to do is fresh bearings and rings. Can I just pull and replace to factory spec and replace the torque to yield bolts. Does it require a hone with fresh rings? If so, can I do that myself by buying a...

I just received a re-manufactured trans and it was shipped with 13qt of Pennzoil Platinum Advanced high millage full synthetic. I know that the 5r55s requires Mercon 5... My question only comes up because I sent an email to the company I bought the trans from and they replied, "the fluid that...

Hello, I have a 86 mustang that burns a ton of oil (1 quart every 100 miles or so) and I have since purchased a stock 302 out of an explorer. I currently have it all apart, and while I was looking at it I noticed I probably should get my crankshaft, cylinders, and heads machined (150k mile...

Hello, I picked up some GT40 heads from a buddy and they came off a good running motor with a bad head gasket. Should I get them rebuilt w/ a valvejob and shaved 0.030" like I wanted and maybe valveguide inserts or should I just throw in a spring kit (was looking at the kit from Alex's parts)...

Hi everyone, I'm in the middle of a rebuild of my T5 and I'm coming across a strange issue: When the tailhousing is bolted to the case, and bearing retainer bolted on w/NO shims, I'm only reading .004" of endplay...seems waaaayyy too tight to me from everything I've read online/using the...

I took my front gear case cover off my vortech v3. I have 2 wave washers on each bearing. Im not sure how these wave washers are supposed to be put back in. are they supposed to be stacked like pringles chips or offset so they take up double the room. I tried off set but couldn't get the case...

Hey all, so last night I ordered the T5 rebuild kit off of AM, and a replacement clutch, just a cheap clutch for now until after basic training when I have more money. My question to all of you is what are your experiences with rebuilding T5s? What advice do you have to offer? Any videos you...

Hello all! Just joined forum today for some advice from the experts. I recently purchased an 01 cobra for $5300. I bought it August 3rd and it had 94,000 miles on it. I traveled around four hours to get her knowing it needed a throw out bearing and the body was not perfect. Needless to say I...

Alright everyone, I have a question that's been bugging me... I need to know whether or not to stroke my engine, or stick with a plain rebuild. My compression is low from what Im figuring on the dyno, and it has 130k miles on it, with no evidence It has ever been rebuild before. I plan on...
