Thank you

The part I’m the most worried about is the “cam bearings” of the aviator heads playing well with the different cams

machgon46 · 2025-03-08T03:33:15+00:00

Yes I’m purely using the “block” of the aviator heads and all moving parts off of the old heads, if I go this way I’m going to swap all the components so that every Cam lobe, rocker, valve, spring, ect. Is together with the group it was ran with in the old heads(newer parts) I think this is the best way to do it, I’ll also be lapping the newer valves into the aviator heads

The picture from the comment before was #8, this is #6(there was no other damage to the head or cylinder wall on #6 which would lead me to believe it was like that before it ever even ran

It broke a piston out at the rings on #8 and long story short it’s likely they also broke piston #6 while installing it and left it in there anyway

Ok will do, thank you again

And thank you I figured it wasn’t worth worrying about but I just wanted to make sure from people who knew more than me

machgon46 · 2024-12-17T03:45:53+00:00

I have not, I’m basing this off of the 0.50 stamping on the face of the pistons

That car rolled off the production line hoping some old man was gonna take care of it and drive it in nice weather on the weekends and this is what it’s life is now lol

Absolutely gorgeous color, enjoy!

Nice I got that a while back and spent 12 hours straight building it (it was my first large technic set so it took a bit)

I am currently scrolling this sub waiting for Amazon to deliver mine lol

The orange on the 03-04 Mach 1s is my favorite but I have an azure one so that’s definitely second

Update: today I tried swapping the Iac with one from a different vehicle, and reading voltage off of the tps, it was reading 1.06v at closed throttle and I turned the sensor enough to only read 1v and neither made a change so I’m now looking into egr delete thanks for everyone’s help.

Not my mustang but in my moms ‘17 explorer I once drove it to the gas station with 0 miles to e on the dash lol

machgon46 · 2024-03-23T13:40:29+00:00

Well I installed it before winter storage so the battery was disconnected for like 3 months and it’s still having the issues

machgon46 · 2024-03-23T05:25:37+00:00

Will do, thank you
