    misfire on number seven

    1997 explorer 5.0 with James duff stainless headers keeps burning thru my heat shield to number 7 spark plug wire. I already have a steal wool protector on the boot but it still gets so hot that it melts the rubber boot. Does anyone have another alternative for spark plug boot so this doesn’t...

    289 to 302 information needed.

    Motor has a ticking sound coming from the front driver side when it reaches operating temp (180*). I originally thought it was my lifters so I changed them and the push rods but had no change. It’s weird that the motor has no ticking sound until it warms up. Oil pressure is 35-38 psi when could...

    289 to 302 information needed.

    Yes the 302 is pretty much done. The cam synchronizer got stuck in the block and the part that seats done on the block were the oil pump drive shaft is cracked when removing it, so block is toast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    289 to 302 information needed.

    I currently have a 97 explorer efi setup in my bronco and still have the original 289 that came in the bronco in the garage that I would like to rebuild. My 302 in the bronco currently is not doing so good and I would like to prepare myself for when she pops. My question is can I bore my 289...

    1996 Explorer 5.0 cam synchronizer stuck (engine gurus help!)

    Fisherman78 did u ever get this taken care of ? I have the same problem going on with my 97 explorer motor in my 71 bronco. I got the cam synchronizer out but when I used a slap hammer to remove it the cam welded itself to the block and has a crack now where the bottom of the cam rides on the...

    Gt40p head question?

    What’s everyone’s preferred method for setting back lash on pushrods? Tighten until slight resistance, then 1/4,1/2, to 3/4 until 20ft pounds is achieved under a full turn? Do you do this while the lifter is primed or unprimed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gt40p head question?

    Do I have to remove the gt40p heads in order to replace the lifters on a all stock 97 explorer or just the lower intake? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ring and pinion depth question?

    This might be a stupid question but what should my rpm’s be at between 60-70 with my setup? Like what would my engine be most happy with? If it doesn’t rain tomorrow I’m gonna see what my rpm’s actually are. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ring and pinion depth question?

    I have no tach at the moment and will have to measure exact tire height. It’s a explorer 302 with 4r70w all stock, All street as of now and nothing over 60( all back country roads ). The tires are brand new bf good wrench, I’ve been thinking about going to 37” tires is one of the reasons for...

    Ring and pinion depth question?

    Did just the back to test the ratio if I like it with my 4r70w and 35” tires. I read a bunch of different threads and 5.13 seemed to be what everyone said for my setup but man I drove it and it just seems like the rpm’s are too high now. Maybe switch to 4.88s? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ring and pinion depth question?

    How does this pattern look to you guys? It’s my first time doing a gear change. I have my back lash a 10 and my pinion inch pounds of resistances at 18. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
