    Bore?

    I was under the impression that we could not increase the bore in the Mark 8 motor. I just saw an article where Reinhart Automotive went 0.20 .. I've had my block apart and seeing the sleeves is there something I don't know

    IAT TUBE, throttle cable

    I've been through all the articles post forums and I still can't figure out which throttle cable to use with the 98 Cobra intake.

    Thermagasket

    https://goo.gl/photos/GdBJVFhbKnmQExg46 Had my supervisor with me as I applied thermagasket treatment. It came in the mail yesterday only 4 days and immediately I went to work. Drain and flush cooling system as you can have no antifreeze present in the system. I have been adding so much water...

    Losing water

    Well it's definitely the head gasket. Time for a dose of thermagasket that I swear by as long as you catch it before you lunch your motor. Worked in my first car until I wrecked it.

    Right door open switch

    It seems my car has a ghost. My passenger door keeps coming up on the message center close right door. I can't seem to find the contact to shut the lights off as the car thinks the door is open. I bought a new switch can somebody tell me where it goes? Is it in the door or behind the rear panel?

    engine oil

    I use either Mobil 1 or Castrol Syntec. The last time I used 10w30 as I had a little lifter noise that easily went away.. and I always use Fram filters. There are actually big differences in filters some are wider and some are longer than others which makes cleaning the crossmember a real pita

    Losing water

    Yes it has been burned correctly. And I had Prestone in it until it started wasting that as well. A 15 mile trip to my doctor's office showed no overheating whatsoever but when I stopped and it boiled over. I carry to empty full of water antifreeze containers and a plastic milk gallon with water...
