    Lost all clutch pressure with new clutch

    The hydraulic line on these actually hooks up outside the bell housing. So it it was a hydraulic line failure you’d see fluid coming from the connection. It’s definitely not that. But yes. It could have been. Just not in this circumstance.

    Lost all clutch pressure with new clutch

    So I put an entire new McLeod Clutch system in my car. Including a new McLeod flywheel, pilot bearing which I used the Ford Racing roller pilot bearing instead of the McLeod solid pilot bearing because I didn't realize the clutch kit came with with a new pilot bearing. The Ford one looked...

    How many miles is to many miles to cam a car?

    Just curious at what point in a cars life it’s to old or has to many miles to put in a Ford Racing Hot Rod Cam. If a car had 200k miles would that just be a stupid upgrade? Just curious what the overall thought is on that. If you were to install a cam in a high mileage car what else would...

    Engine Rebuild/Rebuy Advice

    Nice job. Who did you buy the reman engine from. I’m looking at possibly doing the same as I’m not sure mine is rebuildable at this point. Bent valve. Also did you pull the engine out of the top of your car or out of the bottom? Did you pull engine and trans together at the same time...

    06 needs new engine. Reman, or used?

    I recently bought a 06 Mustang GT and stupid me didn’t compression check the engine because the compression tester we rented won’t fit down far enough to screw into the spark plug hole so bought it anyways. Well after about 50 miles I got a check engine light and thought for sure it was just a...
