Has anyone disconnected or removed the rear driveshafts and gone for a drive to see if this eliminates the shudder and vibrations ? How tight are the ujoints - is there any binding or notchy feeling to them ? I have seen tight ujoints cause all kinds of steering problems in front axles and...
Oil capacity is 6.2 quarts. Your oil level is at the botom hole on the dipstick. You have to dip the stick in about 3 inches from fully seated a couple or more times and wipe between dips before you can get an accurate reading. Without removing the lingering oil in the dipstick tube and guides...
Hopefully others with this problem can have a dealer perform these tests and witness the bleed down.
As I have stated previously, the major fuel levels in the crankcase have to be coming from a "plumbing" leak and are not a running issue. The very slow increasing levels are from faulty pcv...
Maybe I'm missing your point, but this is exactly what you want happening inside a "rich" engine.
The catch cans fill up faster in the winter due to Thermal Difference and the laws of condensation.
Once again, this is false information. Most of the "burn off" occurs at idle under high vacuum and low block oil sling/cavitation. This happens when the throttle body is closed.
I would suspect the pcv switching valve stuck momentarily creating a code from incorrect pressures. But many things can trip this type of code.
Clear it and see if it returns.
Turbo charging an engine creates a pressurized intake system eliminating all intake manifold vacuum. This creates almost zero removal of crankcase fumes. A normally aspirated engine is almost always turning over the air inside the crankcase where as the turbo engine is only doing this when...
Here are some pictures of mine. This might help as a starting point to those monitoring their oil levels/volumes
properly as well as Fords quality control in manufacture of this part.
The Fuel in Oil thread is getting long winded, full of misinformation and probably doing a disservice to all us...
Any chance you can show a measurement from mounting surface to mounting surface ?
I am curious about the overall length compared to stock.
I believe these come factory set at 2 inches above stock height.
Adjustments are basically a 1:2 ratio. Compressing the spring another 1/2 inch will result...
I waited about 1 hour for the first 325ml and about 20 minutes for the next 325ml.
It is a misconception that the oil takes a while to drain down to the pan. Engines are designed with adequate drain galleries to return oil back to the pan as quick as possible. It drains as fast as it pours.
