For those of you on stock bottom ends w/ forced induction..

[VenomInside]

Mikey, Your not going to like what im going to tell you but....I belive those supercharger's run off engine oil, basicly when you pop your engine you send all of that metal and crap thur the s/c and it works the other way around. Id send out the blower to get it checked out. I wouldn't want to cash a new engine.

Kevin

Kevin, can you give me a call.. 847-553-8173. Thanks!

aha! told you should probably have the blower rebuilt/cleaned out.


oh and i had fun last night and will definately be out there tonight to help some more.

The blower should be fine. The oil has to go through the oil filter and then through the screen in the nozzle before it gets into the blower. He has broken pistons and a possible rod knock. Clean the S/C inside and out with brake clean the flush some oil into the oil inlet and blowout the oil spray nozzle with air and brake clean look for metal shavings in the nozzle

I see that you still have the IMRC plates. When I had my 97 Cobra I went thru and bought the IMRC eliminators plates and ended up porting them out quite a bit. They came from Ford Racing and Im not sure if they still offer them but if you can track down a set with that blower setup you would be happy with the results. I had every bolt on known to man on that car and could tell a difference...I was always too chicken to throw a blower on her because of the bottom end

I am pretty sure Ford Racing does not make these any more. When I had my '97, I was considering these as well. If you do decide to go that route Mikey, you will have to find them used. Shane97Cobra found me a couple sets for sale on some of the various mustang boards.

Thanks man!

Yes it does suck but to be honest I am having fun (believe it or not) on tearing this thing down. I am learning a lot.

Thats kinda what I figured Im sure if you had your heart set on it and couldnt track down a set you could have a shop somewhere fabricate something for you.

Don't worry, i will. You can also stop by and see it if you like.

Cool, when you get down alittle further on the motor I will take you up on that.

Works for me

 

[Shane97Cobra]

Glad you did the compression test. I figured number 7 & 8 went. These are usually the two leanest ones. I wouldn't try to pull anything else off the motor in the car. Time to pull it or drop it out he bottom.

 

[VenomInside]

More Pics....

Thanks a shitload to both MGT2002 (erik) and RD Snake (kevin) for coming out last night and helping me out!!

 

[venmousracer]

Time to build the bottom end, clean up the intake and put some delete plates upgrade to a t-trim....Im telling you to use a local guy for the motor!!!! Try out RGR..... Best thing you can do..Eddie

As of right now it is 75% sure that it's just a blown head gasket.

Stay tuned.

It's rare to see a blown head gasket on these cars. They are MLS gaskets, other parts give out first on stock SB's.
