Here's some before pictures. The Pearl is getting the 4" Procomp lift recommended by Pirate4x4. Thank you sir, I can't wait to try it out. It's also getting the 05-07 front end.

We had a ticking/slapping noise so I decided to change the timing set and oil pump. It runs much smoother and quieter now.

Also trying to end some oil seepage.

Thanks! Yeah if Stuart or someone could stick a new title on the thread, I would sure appreciate it. It'll be interesting to see what they come up with.

@Toreador_Diesel or @Stewart_H Thread title change please?

Looks like the torque spec is based on year, this is from a Chilton Manual. Purchased several years ago, 2012(?)

This works very well at removing rust. I'd love to fill a parts washer with it. Not impressed with the leakage in shipping though. I'm glad they put it in the plastic bag.

Most of our coils had cracks so we bought a whole new set.

Broke one fuel injector connector.

Scored a barely used set of Mac pliers off the Matco truck.

Well, Stuart (Redford) isn't a Super, but I am!

Hence the spelling of my user name.

Just let me know what you want as a title and I will be happy to change it for you.

What coils did you buy? Denso or Motorcraft are the best and OEM.

The other's be wary, they will fail.

You should be able to replace the connector without splicing. I believe Ford sells the plugs themselves.

Sorry I spelled your name wrong, I knew who I meant though. LOL I haven't thought of a catchy title yet. You have any suggestions? Thanks

I struggled a bit aligning the balance shaft. I transferred the marks to the front of the gears so I could see them. It runs really smooth so I'm assuming I got it in the right spot.
