Bonehead if your picture is what you removed from your engine, someone put the wrong snout/cage in it. As HighHP said, your picture is of a BMW snout which directs the oil flow wrong and is not compatible with the FordGT. Throw it away and buy the correct Ford OEM part. This may be why you...

Bonehead, a washer is not the same as an O-ring. A washer is a flat surface formed in a circle, an O-ring is a round surface formed in a circle. You should only have one small O-ring on the bayonet. The large O-ring seals the bottom of the cap to the housing. Two total O-rings should be used...

It appears Ford and BMWs kits have diverged somewhat. Ford's part number includes a filter, large O-ring and a small black O-ring. Whereas, if I interpret HighHP correctly, BMW now has 2 kits, one includes filter with 3 O-rings, a large black ring, and 2 small green O-rings and the other kit a...

The confusion occurring in this thread is the old heads describing/using the old Ford/BMW filter kit and not the new designed Ford/BMW filter kit. The old filter kit design contained the large (softball sized) O-ring and a copper washer, the new filter kit eliminated the copper washer and added...

I see you have your calendar handy so you can remember what day it is. Once you retire, every day is a Saturday, so it's hard to keep track anymore.

No, I don't own any Ford stock and I don't know about indirectly. My point is that shareholders shouldn't be allowed to rape the car consumer with unreasonable car part costs so they can line their pockets. The Raptor's $4400 for a $2 taillight bulb is absolutely taking advantage of the...

This is exactly why we need a champion to represent the consumer and to protect us from the shareholder profiteers who don't give a damn about the cars and only care about the money.

That is not ALL you said. You also said this, "And if you’re not driving it then parts obsolescence is a moot point so not sure of your concern." I didn't say not to drive your cars. To paraphrase, I said if you drive them a lot, you're' going to have parts break that need replacement and the...

Your argument supports what I was saying about needing a Ralph Nadar type of government intervention to get automakers to make affordable and economically maintainable vehicles. You assume that things will get better, but the fact is they are bad now and there is no trend showing that the...

Let's hear from you after you wear those GT parts out and they have to be replaced. LOL Modern electric vehicles are even more of a nightmare computer and parts replacement wise with all their modules. Auto engineers don't know how to design simple and maintainable anymore - or - it is indeed a...

I think it is a shame that FORD has lost the vision of Henry Ford, "an affordable car for the masses". Who, but the wealthy, can afford these overpriced new vehicles like a $100K+ pickup truck? I think all the automakers need to fire at least 50% of their software engineers and only keep the...

Well, the Ford Dealer here wouldn't sell them individually and this mechanic shop was not going to take their time searching the web for alternatives. They had already wasted a lot of diagnostic time chasing the usual failure-to-start culprits. Who would have thought a taillight would prevent...

Beware of these new computer-controlled vehicles. A friend just repaired a 2018 Raptor that wouldn't start. Had a difficult time figuring out why it wouldn't start because there were no codes except for the left taillight being burnt out. So, they decided to change the bulb. Nope. You had...

It's the round one that also fits the 3/4 inch Wilwood master brake cylinder. Call Motive and they'll tell you the Item number. https://www.motiveproducts.com/pages/application-guide

Yes, very sad indeed. It makes no sense what the P-63 did. The B-17 was in straight and level flight and the P-63 was making a descending turn towards the rear of it. The P-63 had to have seen the B-17 and could have rolled out of his turn and descent easily to avoid a collision. Makes no...

Congratulations Ron. Beautiful car. Don't forget to change your signature as it's missing a few cars.

I also left my original mats in the car since 2006 like Frank (post #2) and put a fabric mat over it. Notice the picture in Simon's post #13 and how the silver painted surface on the right side is all nicked and scratched. I had mats custom made that go up both sides of the footwell to protect...

Sorry, but this is a bunch of propaganda BS. Mr Fords comment about a shopping mall being built near his fishing hole is not caused by internal combustion engines, it is caused by population growth, so this is what logic calls a false conclusion. His environmentalist time would be better spent...

Ron, Is your list of cars accurate? I don't see your NGT? 2006 FORD GT 1808 1987 PORSCHE 911 TARGA 2005 PORSCHE GT3 CUP 2019 PORSCHE 991.2 CARRERA T 2016 FORD FOCUS RS
