you referring to bank #1 IMRC when you said ford calls it upper intake and bottom intake? bank 1 refers to the side of the engine where cylinder #1 is located

Awesome build brother. I’m building a 65 Fastback and recently purchased a 66 Coupe for my son (Dad & Son project). Did you get around to posting the Video explaining the process? I didn’t see it. Also I’m your neighbor here in Burleson… Wondering if you do work on other peoples cars or only on your own?….

@Nicholas-z7g It's all depends on driving style really, Lexus has them checked at every maintenance interval but only changed when worn. Just visually look at em next time you take your tire off and see how thick.the.pads still are.

I like this idea, BUT, forcing the compressor to cycle longer sounds like it would shorten the life of the compressor, which is very costly, if you can't replace it yourself.
@GreenCastleGarage 16 күн бұрын
It's not enough to even be a noticeable impact. The truck in the video is going strong still and I'm pretty sure that was 2 years ago. It's also at 160k on the original ac compressor.

Just did this job myself, with the exact same part number and Murray brand from O'Reilly, and inside that box where the thermostat and gasket came, there is also a thick cardboard cylinder that looks like the center of a roll of toilet paper, and that is actually the tool you're supposed to use to compress the spring on the thermostat for removing the old thermostat and installing the new one to the housing. You position the cylinder on top of the circular metal disc at the top of the thermostat, and press down until it slides inside the cylinder, then you proceed to push down to move the metal teeth passed the grooves on the housing, then give a twist to lock it in place. Quite easy and only took a few seconds... Didn't realize that that's what it was for until after trying with other tools unsuccessfully...

The design of the cam phaser was the principle cause. But the problem is exasperated by dirty oil. Use full synthetic oil at 5k intervals and combine it with the flood start demonstrated here and the problem may self correct. This worked for me after 3 oil changes.

@GreenCastleGarage Ай бұрын
No, I just put both links in the description because alot of people (myself included) change the resistor if changing the motor. It is a common failure point and right next to the motor, so I just go ahead and replace it as well. You definitely do not have too though.

it does no damage your enginer?
@GreenCastleGarage Ай бұрын
No no no, it just reduces it to minimum. By letting the starter cycle you build oil pressure to the timing components and prevent the chain slap. It will still slowly wear down and become a major problem. This is just to reduce risk and allow more rime before making the repair. We probably waited about 6 months or so honestly, but the sooner the better if you can.

How do you remove the top clip that holds the a pillars on?
@GreenCastleGarage Ай бұрын
This was so long ago I don't remember exactly. A pillars usually have one screw hidden under the little square that says airbag. Once that's out just pull hard toward the center console. Those clips are hit or miss and have a 50/50 shot of needing to be replaced
@jasonmurawski5877 Ай бұрын
@GreenCastleGarage I figured out how to remove the clip after I broke it. 30$ for a used trim on ebay and 20$ for the clip
@GreenCastleGarage Ай бұрын
@jasonmurawski5877 sheeesh, that gets so frustrating. Manufacturers now make 1 time use trim clips. They are designed to break if removed and have to be replaced.......so frustrating. Glad you it off at least, sorry I wasn't more help
@jasonmurawski5877 Ай бұрын
@GreenCastleGarage no worries. The stupid clips on the pillar dug in and broke off because they're almost impossible to get out of the holes in the body. And instead of a normal screw or clip they had some weird design that you have to special order from gm if you break it. Live and learn I guess

you started off good then you got more and more vague and couldn't see with bad lightening. and why was the sway bar need to be loosened. so If you can replace the bushing then it would be ok? except for the oil leak??

At 68 crawling around I can't take that any more like I did when I was younger. 😞

I can't remember if you need to scan each module independently or not on the foxwell. Either way play around with it, you can't really hurt anything unless you see a special functions option. Even then it's far and few between.
