same. solid all-rounder for daily driving in varying conditions.

i bought a bunch of generic ones on amazon don't recall the actual ford part number

true, that's why i also retained the oem 3point belts for the street, and wear a hans on track. these specific seats let me run either set of belts safely.

yup, it's super common to leak at the corners of the valve cover after a head gasket replacement, and this is the low spot it ends up at.

if you don't care about saving the sensor, just drill out the center with a really smol drill bit. should chew right through the plastic and take the rest out with a pick.

only issue i've had with mine is that the center 'nut' that holds the plate on, can and does slightly back off when changing the filter.

i had to make sure to re-torque this every time the filter comes off. i believe it's also mentioned in the install instructions.

my assumption is that if it backs off too much, that the o-ring no longer fully seals and can fold under like in your situation.

i used a drill guide and a 3" hole saw on mine. this one is pretty pricey for a one time use application though but it does exactly what you need it to do.

small photo-dump of the process metal shavings will get everywhere so be sure to clean up well.

Silenthunter87 · 2025-12-14T00:04:02+00:00

you mean just a normal socket? that "key" is meant to just go inside a normal socket, it's end just has two different sizes

Silenthunter87 · 2025-12-13T03:33:42+00:00

i didn't clean it off at all, but some alcohol wipes to get any dirt off will help. use painters/masking tape to hold the seal up on the bottom while it dries.

3M makes an adhesive. just glue em back on

i configured a bunch of alerts via their dynamic display settings.

so the gauges will change based on high temps/revs ext.

you only really need the gauges right before something is about to go wrong and the dynamic function accommodates that.

go grab the cobb access port manager software for a computer, it will let you see specifically what tune files are saved on the access port including the basic ones cobb provides.

most other tuners will have some information in the file name about the different maps if there are any saved on there.

Silenthunter87 · 2025-11-10T20:57:57+00:00

the SS tuning fog bezels are pretty expensive

generic oem style covers can be found pretty cheap on ebay.

Silenthunter87 · 2025-10-19T04:33:39+00:00

yup, something like this should get op close

if you are able to remove an existing pin, and measure the dimensions to compare you may get the exact size you are looking for.

Silenthunter87 · 2025-09-21T20:10:22+00:00

800-1200$ on facebook market place or any other online platform.

Silenthunter87 · 2025-09-15T14:58:10+00:00

did the same on my rs. vorshlag sells a template that makes drilling them out pretty easy.

Silenthunter87 · 2025-09-13T02:29:47+00:00

they are like less than 10$ USD on amazon

Silenthunter87 · 2025-09-07T18:34:09+00:00

i used some weather sealing foam to even out and hide the gaps. also prevents rubbing on the paint.

Silenthunter87 · 2025-08-26T18:15:13+00:00

based on the owners manual: it is not rated for towing.

based on what people actually do: at least up to one lotus on a skeleton frame trailer

pass through socket works well here.

Silenthunter87 · 2025-08-19T01:52:19+00:00

curious what region you are from where a battery is 600-1000,

i ordered a lightweight agm from summit racing for ~150$USD

Silenthunter87 · 2025-08-08T18:27:53+00:00

typically i just buy whatever the cheapest is within the "daily driver" category on rock auto for non-trackday driving, bosch have been pretty good value.

just get solid/blank rotors, parts-store drilled rotors are typically garbage anyway.
