While the plugs are out, I would do a compression check, and a leak down check. Lifter pre-load should be .020"-.060", with a 7/16"-20 threads per inch rocker stud would be around just under a half turn to just over a full turn. 3/8"-24 would be half turn to one and a quarter turn.

Nice video on troubleshooting! Just to confirm that it's not hurt, a compression check or leakdown test would be good. If a valve no longer fully seats due to minor damage, it would quickly create play in the valve guide or possibly crack it. A puff of smoke at startup would be a tell tale sign and possible valve train noise. If one cylinder has lower on compression on that bank do a wet compression check to see if the numbers go up. If it does, it's the ring, if not then a valve is not fully seating. Then take off the springs on the valves for that cylinder and check end play in the valve guide. That will rule out a bad valve guide and bent valve. If all else fails pull and inspect the head, and also check it for straitness. Should be under .002

In reference to #8 unplugging/broken clips, the Explorers,Crown Vics, etc with 19 pound injectors have squeeze the sides injector plugs. With a safety pin or other small stiff wire you can take the pins out of the plugs and they will not unplug. Plus, the newer injectors have 4 hole ends for better atomization of fuel.

Zinc, or trivalent plated plugs do not require anti-seize on the threads. Best way to tell; if your plugs threads are silver, or chrome in color, you dont need ant-seize. If the threads are black in color, put anti-seize on them.

Do a compression check and next time you have a head off and suspect a valve just turn the head so the suspect port is up and drop an ounce of mineral spirits down the port. If there's any leakage at the valve you'll see dripping or wetness around the valve in the combustion chamber. I've found weeping even with new heads that needed a little more lap work or cleaning debri like compound off the seat.

You can't work on cars without a compression tester. You can also use it as a leak down tester by putting it at tdc for each piston and see how fast the pressure drops. If one is way different could be bad rings or valve, sometimes you can just move the crank a little bit and the rings line up. A compression and spark tester should be in everyone's toolbox.

Cool video bud with a lot of information. I had a issue with a 89 Fox I had A few years ago. It would run great but once it got hot it would start missing and then get to the point that it would die and not start. Narrowed it down to the TFI module which I replaced with one from O’Reillys and it ran great until it started doing it again. So this time I replaced it with a oem one and again it ran great for awhile and started doing it again. This was my daily driver I ended up trading it for a 95 bronco with a 351w 35s and a 6in lift. I later found out about the bad locations these and how they would get hot if you don’t use that gel stuff which I didn’t use. I had 16 of these cars and never had this issue except with this 89. I currently have a 89 and a 86 with TTops. I bought the TFI relocation which I install on all my Foxbodies. Never figured out why the 89 done this. It was cammed with a F cam, svo roller rockers, 5spd swap,4.10s,cai, Offroad H-pipe, flowmaster 10s. When I sold it I thought it was a electric issue or I’d never sold it. Really regret selling it.

Low rpm ok as well as high but more or less than that can also cause that.weak coils also come off as a poorly tuned carb or an out of tune efi system as if the fuel management system isn't working accordingly.

2 things, where did you get the NGKs? china has been making fakes for years now that are crap. You need to get your plugs from reputable dealers. Google it to see the differences. And second, once a plug gets wet it can carbon track and the plug will short out under combustion pressure, and spark fine outside the cylinder.

@BREW2LFOXBODY

I’m pretty sure I just ran mine from the intake down to the lower fitting on the wastegate and left the top port open. But please verify for your setup with someone else just to make sure.

You can’t set hydraulic lifters by lash. They are set by preload. So I usually tighten them 1/4 to 1/2 turn after I finger tighten them.

Why not just start with a compression and a leak down test before all that? Be my first tests before touching anything personally. Thatll tell you a lot.

I never watched the full video and actually didn't get passed 30secbut this man is right... Minis the compression test.. compression tests are mobile mechanics tools. Leak down test tells you everything you need to now. How much cylinder pressure.. if it leaks down.. you can check the top of the cylinder mid and bottom for egg shape. Tells the story of valves intake and exhaust.if the guage reads great at the top or bottom valves are good... If you move the crank around and place the piston in a diff position and the pressure drops or drops the rises it's a worn cylinder or egg shaped. Yw ppl. Anyone that wants to send me $500 for diagnosis is more than marrier.lol
@gpt5002
@gpt5002 3 жыл бұрын
Ik I'm talking too much and y'all will probably never see me again comment... But to add to the leak down.. the crank will turn and allow the piston the hit the bottom of the stroke.. when determining eggshape I use a 1/2 drive wratchet approx 16-20 inches in length attach it to the crankshaft with the proper socketandblock it from spinning in a few stages. I check in 1/4s but most just check top bottom and mid. But I wanna know if it wore on the up or down stroke to cause the shape.. but hey.. I never went to school for anything 🤣🤣 so what do I know. Up stroke would cause larger bore at top and vice versa. Helps determine where the unbalance maybe.

Yo brew2l you think buying a higher amp alternator has it's benefits?..
@BREW2LFOXBODY

Buying a higher amperage alternator definitely has its benefits even if your engine in stock! Start your car turn on your headlights and your blower and check your voltage while idling, I am willing to bet your voltage is low! Everything on your car was designed to run at a certain voltage, With the age of these vehicles I guarantee your volts or not where they are supposed to be for everything to run properly! My father has a 92 LX Convertible with an AOD! I swapped every single bulb interior and exterior with LEDs and also installed a 130 amp alternator and replaced all the main power and ground wires! With his car idling in gear hi beams on, blower on high, A/C on which also turns both electric fans on high his voltage is sitting at about 12.5V! Before when you would come to an idle you would hear both fuel pumps slow down because of the voltage drop, Not anymore they are constantly screaming! I know there are plenty of people in the comment section who have no idea what they are talking about end it is hard to trust a stranger, So Google Muscle Mustangs and Fast Ford ( The Bold and the Beautiful)! It is a write up about a girl and her trio of mustangs, 2 Saleen’s and a 98 cobra! That is my work!

Could be that it just needs new plugs, a lot of the time the gap is too much on the plugs and at high rpm it will have a misfire. Also it could be the TFI module. But typically they will just go bad on you and the car won’t run. Also check car and rotor button for corrosion
