Well, here is my truck. MORE PICS Mods so far: KKM intake Superchip Flowmaster 50 dual exhaust Lowered 1" in the rear and 2 1/2" in the front (It sits level. The front was always higher than the back) Monroe reflex shocks EE rear sway bar Lund WJ Billet Grille Cobra R's with 255/60 Pirelli Scorpions EE airdam PIAA Pro90's in airdam Trim painted to match Suggestions Welcome!!
Although there are many posts on valve train timing I have yet to see one that shows a picture of the cam lobe position of #1 and #5 cylinder. It appears to me that the reference to the crankshaft at TDC for #1 and #5 leaves the cam on the right side with the offcenter slot for the cam holding tool 180 degrees out of time....the left side is fine, it just evacuated..the right side shows lobe to be standing straight up, a 1/2 turn from end of compression, and the offcenter slot is opposite the left. Any suggestions??--guess i could include the details of the engine--- 4.0 L sohc (E)..125,000 mi.---replacing , #1 piston, wrist pin, and rod---main and rod bearings. piston rings...and all timing chains and sprockets.
This is work in progress, but standby... More coming soon. The first thing we need to cover is: Why? "Just by a set for the 2005 Sport Trac" you say? Sure, I could, but I bought these when they were listed as 2001-2005 over 3 years ago and life got in the way. New job, big move, new house, and an actual shop - time to install them! I matched them up with a Felpro exhaust manifold gasket I had and looking through the slit in the fenderwell, I called it good. Not quite.
hello everyone finally the eddie is on the road. i dont have a whole lot of drop in it yet only about enough the compensate for the glorious rear end squat on these. here are some pictures. not very good pictures but here are the stats so far: 1.5 drop in front 17" lincoln aviator wheels (very ****ty offset!) ebay intake magnaflow 2.5" exhaust hypertech tuner and a ton of tune up work
Thanks to Explorer Forum, I've been infected by the need to modify my Explorer! :D Thanks for all the great write-ups and advice! So far I've only installed new wheels and tires and a bull bar. Will be working on installing Flowmaster Delta 40s and KC driving lights this weekend. Also debating whether or not I should lower it by an inch.. I had to cut some of the plastic inner fender trim off so the tires wouldn't rub near full lock. Let me know what you think! :salute:
