Blue on the cylinder head is the revised heads. most likely previous owner at some point took it in under warranty to get the revised heads to eliminate the head tick. Dont worry though my car has the revised heads and still developed the head tick.

[@loscar5oh]

@shnoopydoopy6707 yea I later found out about that. I hope that's not my case. My car Cas 110k miles so I think it would developed the tick by now for sure lol

[@shnoopydoopy6707]

@@loscar5oh Yeah you should probably be good then. Mine only has 25k miles and i just got it. From what ive read the head cooling mod helps prevent it happen, whereas i thought the head cooling mod only helps prevent the car from blowing up in 5th gear pulls. So thats why i never did it cause i dont do 5th gear pulls anyways.

@@loscar5ohit’s for the 9 thread instead of the 4 thread heads. Revised at a deal probably. It’s a good sign. The head tick would have happened a long time ago if it was going to happen with 110k miles lol

[@loscar5oh]

@@SVTJD that's some good info! Would they have replaced both heads or just that driver side head to the 9 thread? When I was replacing my sparkplugs, they felt to have more than just 4 threads 🤔

All of your videos are just jammed with car knowledge... So much appreciated. 🐍❤ Nothing looks better than a fresh set of R888's. Keep on rocking it brother. 🎶 #FitmentMatters

@CheesusSVT thanks bro! I'm still learning as I go and I'm glad to share with all of you 🙌🏻

Those R888R’s worked well on my Eaton Torch Red Cobra. They can tend to fade off traction wise at higher HP levels after a blower swap due to their stiffer sidewalls but they are great for more longevity over DR’s. My Nittos are going to be done by the end of this summer

[@loscar5oh]

@Lethal_Venom I agree R888Rs are not the best for traction as I would slide in them on my TR cobra 😅 but then again I was making 650whp. They just look very nice!

[@Lethal_Venom]

@@loscar5oh Definitely one of the nicest tread patterns out there and I’d definitely run them on any Eaton car again. Unfortunately for now I’ve boxed myself into running DR’s which I’m still fighting traction on in 1st 2ed

Can you share where you found the floor set up of your garage please, it looks badass 👍🏼

[@loscar5oh]

@javysvtcars9915 thanks man! I actually bought it through Aliexpress. I was a little skeptical about it, but they shipped everything I ordered and the floor has been performing good so far. I did an uncles garage as well from the same seller and no complaints

Blue is the revision for new valve guides due to the head tick. My Mach 1 has blue. Now you’ll want to see the casting number to see which heads you have kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn20dGuOjaefaLssi=PEtjnSi6aHIxyzfs

What do you think about amsoil fluids I use on all my vehicles very smooth oil protects the engine and 100% synthetic

[@loscar5oh]

@@nooralderawy1230 I like amsoil as well, I've heard good things about that brand. I just stay with Mobil 1 as I've used it for many years on all my cars

[@nooralderawy1230]

@@loscar5oh if you switched it would be nice man I used to use mobile 1 ep very excellent oil but not like amsoil or pennzoil watch ford boss me channels very well informative

[@hugosuarez6633]

How is the match between oem and new rear?

[@loscar5oh]

@@hugosuarez6633 slight difference if you really look closely but not enough to bother me. The next video will show comparison
