I am surprised more people dont mention this either?! The cam gets locked with the timing plate, but the VVT actuator has an operating window to advance or retard valve timing. Doesnt that window need to centered in order to keep full VVT adjustment available once you torque/lock the...

Thank you! Anything noteworthy other than lighter weight, like timing issues at assembly or tuning?

Is that ecoboost crank from a mustang, focus, or edge?

I understand what you did. Just watch that audio cable, not all of them like long term load/heat. I did that once, and the car almost caught on fire from the cable jacket splitting in multiple spots due to heat.

Did they use audio/subwoofer wire for that battery distribution block?

Hit the connector with some soapy water. That should help get it out

Not bad, that is normal. The bottom portion of the HPFP runs off of the camshaft and needs oil. The inner part of the HPFP is where the fuel runs through. So you are fine.

Once there was an OP with a shiny red balloon. All he wanted to do was let his balloon fly in the beautiful sky. Then one day a young man named Enki, was sporting his new slingshot. While looking for an iguana to shoot at, Enki could not find a target worth testing his new slingshot on...

Have your clutch hydraulic system bled. The grinding can happen if your fluid is old and is not pushing the clutch slave out enough.

I thought you tuned out some power to keep the engine happy, that is until you could tear it down again?

I think he was making a joke about his cat in the picture.

I will throw in my 2 cents about the underroute piping because I like and admire you. I had the HTP piping kit, with tr10C and treadstone crash bar. The piping kit itself was great quality. However the underroute kit is a pain. Tightening the tbolt clamps on the turbo is a BITCH because of...

I hope you get warranty work on that engine, that is some serious damage for a built turn key engine.

You need to clear the input shaft out of the crank and clutch. Eventhough it is not your goal, you may need to remove the trans.

Yes, these manifolds are known to leak. If you search around, you will find tales of leaks at the head and turbo flange as well.

That engine degreaser is for hardcore muck on the engine. You need to cover the alternator, starter, and battery to use that on the engine. For alternators and other electrical parts they sell special electronic cleaners at any auto part store that wont damage any of the components inside...

Corksport makes a lightweight pulley set that doesnt underdrive the accesories.

Tr10's only have that baffle on one side. Its meant to go on the feed side so it can split the air and get more efficiency out of the intercooler. That tr10 core is hilariously big so it needs it. The exit wont need one.

Make sure none of the oil drain bolts are tightened all the way down, you will need to wiggle the drain around a bit but it should line up. If it doesnt you may need to loosen and wiggle the turbo from the manifold. Also, the drain bolts are ever so slightly different lengths. I forget which...

You need to check for some kind of vacuum leak in your car. If its adding that much fuel there is something wrong with your setup.
