Re: Moving to Florida Now you can borrow my jack stands when I'm not using them. On second thought, you better buy your own.

Re: Yo, new here. :popcorn2:

Re: Camshaft removal The motor is out of the truck so I don't have to worry about the A/C condensor. I just went to Home Depot and found a 4" bolt to put into the cam. DaveP. I like that idea you gave there. Takes gravity out of the equation. I'll get the cam out and then it's off to the...

Re: Camshaft removal OK. Thanks. That's what I was thinking. Just wanted to run it past you guys. Now to find long bolts that skinny.

Probably a stupid question. I couldn't find anything with a search. I'm looking to take the camshaft out of my motor. I'm wondering if there is a trick or tool I can use to do this smoothly. With Fords, the center of the cam is threaded so you can put a long bolt into it and use that as a...

Re: Brittle cladding I used the good plastic epoxy from 3M on all my stuff during the repaint. The tabs all get real week from flexing over the last 16 years. I reinforced all tabs with that epoxy and small pieces of plexiglass that I used as kind of a support for them. Someone gave me that...

Re: 93 Ty #1036 Tampa Bay, FL I forgot to update this. I pulled the motor and I'm in the middle of tearing that down to find the cause of all of this. I did find that the motor has a built botom end. Eagle H beam rods. I don't know the make of the pistons yet. I also don't see anything...

Re: Bent rod Thank you. I just found his post on the subject that led me to my question. http://www.syty.net/forums/showthread.php?t=62710 EDIT: I can't find any identifying marks on these pistons anywhere. The only thing I have found is that they are .030 overbore. Mabey the machine...

I got it almost 3 years ago now from a local guy who had it 3 weeks. He got it from Atlanta. I did have cylinder head issues with it last year and did post it for sale out of frustration. Up until today I was under the impression that a factory replacement motor was installed at a dealership...

Re: Bent rod The top of pistons pic is back from when it ate a head gasket. It did take on water in that cylinder back then. That was quite some time ago. I don't know what these pistons are then. They don't look like the pics I saw of JE's or SRP's. I'll look at them a little more closely...

Re: Bent rod Holy Crap!! I pulled the pan off and the first thing I noticed was this: And this 12 point rod bolt was on this: It looks to me like they put stock pistons on Eagle rods. Who would do such a thing? I can see where the bottom end has been balanced: But I found this...

Re: Bent rod The motor is out and I have the top end off of it. No sign of a bent rod or obvious signs of piston damage. The only thing I can think of now that would explain this nasty vibration is something like a bent crank or damaged block. Further bulletins as events warrant.

Re: Post a pic of your truck taken today

Re: Poly mounts wont line up, damn. If you have all the bolts tightened up loosen them up a little. The mount to pad bolts and the mount to motor bolts. That should give you the wiggle room you need to get them through. On several occassions, not on the Ty, I have had to go in and help...

Re: stock Sy vs. stockish 03 Cobra Those Terminators are definately mean. A buddy of mine had one with the normal mods putting down almost 500 at the tires. One ride in that is what got me hooked on forced induction. That led to the addition of a super charger on my V8 Ranger. I had the...

Re: Bent rod Well, I unbolted the converter again and ran the motor. Now I feel the vibration in the motor but it is much less than with the converter hooked up. So it seems the vibration has gotten worse since I began looking for it. So the motor is going to come out for inspection. I...

Re: Bent rod Did it have an imbalance or vibration to it when the motor was running?

Re: Bent rod Was the vibration similar to my imbalance feeling I am trying to describe? I just can't decide if the next logical step is to pull the tranny out and have it torn down or pull the motor out and tear it down.

Re: Bent rod I'm still poking at my problem. The best I can describe this imbalance I have is that the motor feels like a washing machine that has its load out of balance. Kind of a wiggle wiggle at low rpm, it kind of smooths out during normal rpm operation, and then it shakes violently at...

I am posting this for a friend of mine. 2002 Honda 400(460) EX. My buddy is a master mechanic and this machine has been meticously maintained. It has a fresh motor in it with just a few minutes of run time. Asking $4,200 If interested, contact Manny at elefther@tampabay.rr.com...
