Det_Riot Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Well here ya go Morton! lol here's some tear down pictures, was planning on getting more done tomorrow, but going to occupy the gf instead.Blocked off the intake ports so I don't drop more things down there (dropped a washer but luckily a magnet fished it out =D) Already got upper intake, alternator, intake tube, valvecovers etc. off.Found a little bit of condensation in my throttle body, guess that's what happen when it gets down to freezing at night and warms up in the day?Some more pictures of where I started documenting, I really gotta stop shaking when I take pictures lolHey, I stopped shaking for a picture!Wire going to my Coil that needs to be replaced. The first connection by my pinky is two wires going into one -__-This is the genius wiring of the previous owner tapping power for the tach -__-Andddd this is the mess of wires that will be reloomed and cleaned up. Included are injector harnesses, coil harnesses, and other assorted things that run down the front of my engine =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMR Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 The previous owner of my car did some.. ..well "Interesting" things to my car too as well... ...and he sure didn't take his time when he worked on my car, alot of what he did just looked like it had to be done cheap and quick, some of my wires looked alot like the ones in your car too..pretty much just wiggled around eachother and then wraped in electrical tape (and not the right kind).

Det_Riot Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Made some more progress today! Not as much as I would of liked, but kept on getting interrupted with annoying phone calls.....Onto the works!Removed Power Steering pump and removed driver side accessory bracketRemoved passenger side accessory bracket, Probably going to try emptying out the smog pump so it will basically just be an eliminator pulley =DPulled lower intake finally, odd milky pcv area :shrugs: anyone care to shed some advice?AND biggest progress, cleared out some room in the garage for the mustang =D No outside winter this year! Mattress was used as a barrier between roof and hood, relax people =DWell that was basically all for today.

Det_Riot Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 ha metal plate and 9 screws later....it's back in "one" piece!Today is just annoying -__- Got my heads pulled off, looks much dirtier than when I put the heads on, from running rich? idk. Went to start playing with the heads, but the damn spring compressor isnt working! The springs have like 3 layers of springs?! Beats me, but when the outer spring is compressed, I can still see another spring that isn't being compressed. I think i'm going to have to get one of the clamp style valve spring compressors or the ones that you attach to your rocker arms and muscle off.

Brian Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Bro, go read my post in the other thread. Stop thinking about changing your wheels. Your crazy to want to. They MAKE your car. Your going to take the car from the level it's at now and bring it down if you change them. That's just me. I've always thought your car was going in the right direction. Don't mess that up now!

95riosnake Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I got the pleasure of using a valve spring compressor a few years back, needed to replace the valve seals in the heads on my old 302. Had to use the old trick of pressurizing the cylinder with an air compressor to hold the valves up while I took the rockers and springs off to replace the seals. That was a miserable day.

Det_Riot Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 man I wish that was my only problem =[ Here's a sum up of how it's gone for me-Rent tool from autozone (overhead compressor)-pull heads off car-compress springs-inner springs retain tension, valve retainer won't unseat from the clips-give up-Go to sears-pick up c clamp compressor-Get one valve spring removed-remaining valve spring retainer clips wont unseat from retainer-get frustrated-give up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Finally got enough valve springs off to measure and order some new ones! Whoooot! taking my heads now to get the rest of the taken off. I normally love doing things myself but at the rate i was going ( one every other week or so) it was a thousand times more economical to bite the bulllet and have a shop do them =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
