    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. Also where to find an IAT tube that goes from the manifold around front to the CAI INLET. I plan on just cutting and modifying my original throttle cable bracket as...

    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. That I sold before I got this one. Let's hope that it continues to be the solution as the car still runs drives...

    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...

    Losing water

    Well I know I've been through a couple of head gasket issues and yes I've burp rd the system to where there's no air pockets. What's baffling me now if its a head gasket I would think it would overheat no matter what. I let it sit in the driveway and running for an hour temperature never went...

    Losing water

    Okay so I'm home from the hospital I level off the fluid water and start the car after about 30 seconds I can watch the water level go down in the reservoir ever so slowly. So I top it off while its still running I put the lid on. Using my laser pointer temperature sensor driver side...

    Losing water

    Like I said I hope I'm not repeating history as it turns out I am and will have to check this out when I get out of the hospital again. Just can't seem to get right anymore. I'll pull out my heat gun or rather Laser temperature gauge then scan the radiator when I get out. Is number 5 the...

    Losing water

    That's what I was wondering about the pressure test. Normally without a reservoir the cap would be directly on the radiator and making the past simple. You think of thermostat would be necessary to before the pressure test? I mean pressure is pressure? That was my original thought was the...
