Haha, hell yeah! Do it in an hr. Not really but yeah.

I went to an All Ford car show, I'll post up pics on the forums or something monday. My fox was one of the favorited ones...everyone said it was one of the nicest ones, and best sounding. It was sweet

Great video, I gotta Replace the rings on mine. GOnna be da first time. What size sockets do you use? I got my rings and gasket. my ratchet, torque wrench. But heres another thing i notice. but do i need to use a cylinder hone?

[freeloader700]

thanks.

go to 0:24 . I said 1/2 in. And I didn't hone the block, I had another one, but yes, it would be a good idea to hone it and get the right size rings and even pistons if needed. If the rings are bad, you might need to do a small bore.

air tools are not good for things like that. try a torque wrench

[freeloader700]

torque wrench isn't good to loosen with. A breaker bar will do just fine.

Never loosen con rod ends al the way crack the bolts in sequence inside bolts first crossing out to end of motor

[fidstang]

This is not the correct way to do it.

i wonder how much you scratched your crank using that metal rod to get the piston out and then not covering the rod bolt threads. you should use a wooden rod to knock the piston out and always cover the threads so you dont have to have your crank turned if its not already messed up.

I notice on some of the bolts that I've seen that they have like a star or like a 12 pt head on them, can I still use a regular 6 pt socket on them or do I have to use a 12pt one?

I have built countless Ford engines and my fav is still the 5.0L H.O. Motor ford built these right from the factory!!!

[nsinhold]
