    Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner BAD...."squealing banshee". ?

    The belt is in perfect condition (compared to Fords pics in the shop manual on what worn ones look like) But saying that I thought I had the belts replaced 5+ years ago I only found a work order for a oil pump belt that I supplied that was done 6 years ago. I can get a driver side tensioner...

    Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner BAD...."squealing banshee". ?

    Ive still got some incessant squealing coming from the front of the engine. I thought it was the water pump leak (all fixed) that had cooling system fluid spilt over belt and over some miles of driving it would just go away..... it didn't Bought some "belt conditioner" and helped a bit (would...

    clutch

    I recently had my car changed out to the 3:90 final drive..... Rolling off the lights is now is sooo easy and should've come this way from factory. Ive got the basic "organic" Spec clutch and has a very different feel on take up up then OEM...... more "bite" for sure. Stuart

    Pulley / Tuner kits in stock $ 999

    What are the torque numbers peaking at and what RPM with these tunes? I take it "engine hp" would be about 15-20% higher? Stu

    Water temp rises to 240 real quick....hmm

    I did the jack ass up idea but not sure it went well. it holds 8 gallons I think but getting that out/in is impossible. Parking the car on a real steep hill would be ideal when refilling Whack it on the back and burp her would help

    Water temp rises to 240 real quick....hmm

    Yep... I think it had gut bomb of air in there hence the gurgle sounds I had started to hear once shut off. I have a RADKIT and used it last fluid change early 21 but I didn't get near the OE volume back in (think thats common?) My next change I'll use the front petcock for max air exit in...

    Water temp rises to 240 real quick....hmm

    Driving in central FL today just nice and easy for about 30min (fwy/local traffic). Pulled over to park and noticed car was at about 200 deg so about normal. 5min later I come out and drive in the lot for 1min and have to back up (too steep exit slope) and notice steam on the rear glass when I...

    Coolant leak at front of pulley/pump

    I don’t think it’s a bearing and more like belt or it’s tension issue I squirted some water on the pulley ribs at the east to see/reach pump pulley and it stopped for 30sec and started again. I squirted some on the tensioner pulley and that induced a little squeal All the belts are true...

    Coolant leak at front of pulley/pump

    I think the belts are original except the oil pump belt was changed a few years ago the car has about 8,500 miles on it when I was looking in the manual it has a section on when to replace the belts it did show what the ribs look like when they are worn mine look perfectly new versus what they...

    Coolant leak at front of pulley/pump

    I go for a drive and on start up I hear squeaking sound from front of the engine (I still have access cover off) it stops after few mins at idle....but begins again when at rest and revving. I placed a steel rod on the pulley bolts and then to my ear to hopefully hear the squeal.... no luck It...

    Coolant leak at front of pulley/pump

    If level 1 is taking wheels off and level 2 is doing a pad change and level 10 is building a GT ground up….this is a 3 I was worried it was going to be a 5+ but was glad the only thing to remove/loosen was the belt and some hoses and the pump. Seat isn’t hard to take out (just protect exit...

    Coolant leak at front of pulley/pump

    That’s the exit hole for when the systems gone tits up When it’s dry let it fly. It’s the leak out indicator that you need to replace. The excessive sling on glass is the first thing to notice

    Coolant leak at front of pulley/pump

    PROBLEM = excessive splatter on engine bay glass. Notice when I look into engine bay lots of humidity coming up from front of engine and a squeaking sound. START ON THE ISSUE = can’t really see exactly the location of the leak/dripping (way worse once engine turned off) Took out pass seat and...

    Coolant leak at front of pulley/pump

    How much should I take out of the block in volume to get the tide low enough for pump removal with little mess I took out pass seat for engine access I thought it was better for my right handiness I was thinking that those Allen plugs real tight/hard to get out? I just test fitted the Allen...
