Wow. Didn't know people were paying attention to this. Got the top end pulled apart and the heads were cracked. I got a shadetree guy to take a...
To begin with I'm not allowed to work on my car in my apartment complex. Besides that I can usually find an hour or two a day where there's no...
I belive ticking is an understatement I made when I was hopeful for the thing. It's a thud, and it's all the time, much faster under load. 4 and...
It still wouldn't be the "orange bomber," as most liked to call it. It's an emotional attachment more than anything, and if I'm going to break it...
The thing is, I really don't care too much for the Maverick and it's definitely the engine that I don't care for. The Comet was a quick, fun car...
I thought about it but decided I'd rather have a 302 or nothing in the Comet. Stupid emotional pride, I'm sure, but it's justified in my mind.
Wow. Now I'm really upset that I don't still live in the same town as my dad. I simply don't, and won't, have that much money in the near future....
Heya guys, been a couple weeks since I was last on. In my last thread I'd mentioned that the 302 in my Comet was ticking. I pulled the valve...
Even if I had a snappy comeback, it'd be misplaced anger. I'm just upset that I was this close to having enough money to get my valve job done,...
So Friday on my way back from work the Comet's 302 started ticking under accelleration. So I decelerate, and the engine is rattling. I pull over...
I drove my 73 Comet ~30 miles on the 101 in Phoenix in the rain with bald tires. Scary stuff. I drove my 74 Maverick ~30 miles on the 101 in...
Honestly, more than anything it's a lack of knowledge on my part. I know PCV systems have something to do with emissions -- and that's it. I...
Well, that's actually how I got it, and alls I know is that it looks much nicer.
You'll get more money if you wait for someone who needs it shows up, but if you want to get rid of it now.. you'll get less money for scrap.
On my 73 with the 302 the pcv valve has been done away with, as well as anything running to the air cleaner. The pcv valve simply recycles fumes...
I've been driving it every day for 6 months. The problem is that I'm going to be moving soon and one of the cars HAS to go. I'm trying to...
I've got tomorrow off, so I'm going to see if I can find someone to do the valve job for me. If that doesn't do the trick then I've got a hard...
Welcome to the board. Your English is good, much better than my Swiss-speak.:D The first picture you posted is the only time I've thought a...
Thought so, just bein' safe.:thumbsup:
That sounds good, I'll do that. Now, when I put the valve covers back on I'm not supposed to wrench down real tight, am I? Or am I thinking of...
