Casper95svt Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 As I was cleaning my Balancer ( Crank pulley ) I discovered my radiator was leaking and crusted up on the passengers side near the plastic tank. Its an aftermarket parts store kinda radiator. So I opted for a bigger more efficient radiator. MIshimoto from American Muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper95svt Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Welllll..... I came home for MD weekend. Was going to take the Cobra for a quick ride but couldn't. I found this, two puddles on top of the front timing cover. Looked under and it was running the perimeter of the oil pan and the sway bar. So I decided to just tear into the motor and replace some parts. Found it to be the Thermostat housing, pulled the bolts and found the gasket to have black silicone on the lower portion of it. Looks like someone tried to fix it before. Remove the radiator, hoses, thermostat housing, deleted the oil cooler because its a rusty piece of junk. Removed all the a/c components. Remove the smog pump, and all pipes to the exhaust and heads. Figured out the size for the block off is a 5/8-11, so im going to make two plugs on the lathe at work and block off the heads. Use a piece of the Smog hose and a hose clamp combined with a bolt plugging it off on the h-pipe. Removed spark plugs and wires and cap and rotor. Pcv valve, mesh screen and rubber grommet. Removed the serp belt, and a/c compressor. Removed the waterpump, and the upper right hand side bolt snapped off in the block. Wasn't happy about that. So decided to go further into it. Pulled the alternator to replace it and scrap the smog pump and the ear for the front of the alternator broke off. I will need a replacement. Only found one on ebay and guy wants an arm and a leg for it. Anyone on here have one for sale?? Removed the front cover and drilled out the bolt and tapped all the holes and cleaned off the gasket. Will junk the factory oil pan as well, and gasket.

Det_Riot Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 hope you replaced that timing chain while you were in there! That'd be a pain to have it go out after you put it all back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schiffy Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Still got the ac stuff? Not sure if the pushrods and modulars AC stuff is the same, but Hunter (copmagnet)needs an AC line when his underhood fire took one out.Tapatalk made me do it!

If you think you might do a cam swap later, it would be worth it now to get one with different keyways for adjusting your cam timing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have pretty much next day shipping. Its a Ford Racing and was like 95 bucks. I would do a cam now, but I heard these computers don't like cams. Not sure if its true, this is my first Sn95 5.0. But I am planning on running the Hellion Turbo on this, and everyone tells me it loves the factory cam. So ill keep it I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Ahhh, good call! yah the stock cams are actually real good with turbo kits, hell look at forcefed, he's got about 2 or 3 turbo kits under his belt on stock cams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper95svt Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yeah...it's tough not having it around. But I'll be happy with my next Cobra. My first choice is white..If not black with black 18" Saleens and red brembos will look fancy too. I like blue too. But whites my favorite.
