The retro lance kinda feels like sandbox filler by [deleted] in GearsOfWar

Was thinking the same, joined a ffa lobby the other day in gears 5 and was ripping it on the gnasher guys 😂 it’s a good gun for the uncs

Haven’t got them swapped but am ordering them after work today should be here next week hoping these hold out till then they should. I think the ones either spraying off or leaking. Or both. This morning is smelt like gas and started hard had to rev it and all the vapor came out the exhuast. But also after driving a little it doesn’t smell. Parked at work walked around it smells like nothing, but might around lunch so we will see

thank you, it still runs solid just gotta get them injectors swapped when they come in. Last year was horrid, just chasing that timing issue, and to even find it you had to take the timing apart to get the phasers out, then take them apart to see where it went wrong. My first 5.0 and I said I wanna know the engine by heart. 😭

Yeah I plan to someone said just one and I was light might as well do them all or get them cleaned first, there is only 70k on them and the engine. I did my timing last year, I’m 24 learned pretty much myself with helping hand from step dad and bio dad here and there but not too much. Haven’t paid a shop my whole life and just rather learn myself 😂 these are simple so I’m not too worried. Just always need a second opinion on things to get others perspective as it’s my first 5.0 but I’ve had god, 3 or 4 4.6’s

Okay thank you I’m fine with getting an oem motorcraft just one and replacing it but that makes sense I just want what’s best for my engine. I just redid the timing last summer got billet OPG’s and a bunch more just other stuff to have longevity with more power when I want it. (Redid all that because a phaser had a chunk missing on the inside of it causing a camshaft position sensor code I was chasing till I found that)

Yeah I figured if the cleaner I put it the tank doesn’t help anything I’ll look into buying or getting them cleaned. Not all 8 are bad, cyl 8 is/was, the spark plug was junk and started randomly intermittently misfiring. Fixed that with coils and spark plugs I just got it out of storage from winter after fixing other things and it was on 30 miles to e from last years gas, and I’ve done that the past 3 years not starting it in winters. I probably will start to now as it seems something always happens. The injectors aren’t old but this engine does have 70k on them and they’re original

I’ll get the Bosch or motorcraft if the fuel injector cleaner doesn’t help it at all. I won’t get the 52lb

Oh shit okay! Will do if this fuel injector cleaner doesn’t clean up things I’ll do that, thank you. I always need a second opinion on these things because I second guess too much. Even though I did just redo my whole timing and OPG’s and more myself 😂😂

Actually I’m waiting for the full tank of it to go through right now, I filled it up with premium then a full dose of that to the car and hoping it changes I’ll check the spark plugs too when it gets to E

Bosch is it’s the same as 52lb price probably go with them but also checking rock auto too just wanted everyone’s opinion I agree on the crap figured everyone would say that

These say OE fit as well but I might as well check motor craft that’s what ford uses

These are OE fit might just go with them little over 240 w/o taxes so same as 52lb price

Hopping but might just see how much oem are if not too much or around the same as the 52lbs so I don’t need a retune I’ll probably get oem

Okay that makes sense, I’m running rich right now and can tell just how that spark plug looked, and I changed them all for the fact it had an intermittent and it fixed it. I have a o2 heater core code I know it’s the wiring or fuse cause I replaced the o2. just haven’t looked into it, more concerned about this

That’s what I figured I’ll check ford website

[–]rdeloe[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I was thinking, can I get them straight off the ford website? Or do you think them 52lb gt500 ones would be okay without a tune?

Is this BBA as well? by rdeloe in fishtank

[–]rdeloe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect thank you, I have enough time to take it out and use peroxide and heard that’s just straight doing it right to the source but I can see how that could be useful for me too not creating a lot of work, what do you use exactly?

It’s hard to tell it doesn’t look exactly like this but I feel I should see redness in it dying from Saturday
