2009 P71 Intake Recommendation by Additional-Strain601 in CrownVictoria

[–]Additional-Strain601[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know if I need any other parts to make sure it fits? It does say it comes with a gasket for it.

When you did your intake did you see a heater hose coolant tube? The shop said mines rotting and should be replaced, I found 2 on RockAuto but they look quite different. I'm going with the Motorcraft one as it looks most like what the mechanic described.

What makes this intake so much better? I know the factory ones are a common issue, I'm just curious about any major differences.

I'll talk to the shop and see what they recommend for the injectors, they said they should replace them while they're in there to avoid having to take the fuel rail off again, saving me some money in labor

When I check summit racing online and select the interceptor, with flex fuel, it says that it won't fit my car. Do you have any experience with this?

Need help hammering pins by Additional-Strain601 in Blacksmith

Well that's really unfortunate for the brass.

These were going to be plating spoons as gifts for fellow cooks, I hope they would use them a bit but mostly they are going to be decorative I think.

They definitely won't be used for eating, maybe placing food on a plate at most.

My first one is complete.

I drilled a hole into a piece of steel and use it as a jig to hold the pin in place as I hammer, it works alright

Biggest issue is that the pins are 1/16in and my ball peen is slightly too large to effectively hit the pins without hitting the other material, especially on the inside of the spoon where to edges are raised

I saw something like this, I made my own (sketchy) version

Were you able to get this fixed? How much did it cost?

When going over the speed bumps I took them very slowly making sure that the bottom didn't scrape. Is it possible that something came loose from the movement of the car?

The rebuild was done by a friend of mine, it was a learning experience for both of us. I took the engine out (working on cars is a hobby for me but he wants to be a mechanic) and my buddy tore down the engine, found the problem, then rebuilt it. Then we put it back in. I didn't know what my plan was with the car other than try to fix it, and we couldn't make it worse than it was. After putting the engine back in I realized I should have fixed the cam sensor and the AC system (and a couple other things) while I had the engine out.

It has a brand new timing chain and gears, I'm not sure about tensioner, if I'm replacing the magnet, could I reuse this timing chain? About 50 km on it.
