I have nothing against dry kits but love my wet kit to death. The extra safety measure of added fuel has saved me a couple of times. Edit: Ooops. I'm not running the kit on the Explorer though.

You definitely can. The fastest of all generations is a first gen turboed Probe, which ran a 11 sec pass this past Summer. Ofcourse it had a built motor, upgraded turbo, engine management, etc. You don't have to go so far. Just make sure the engine is fine. Upgrade the IC piping, exhaust piping...

You could always take the EGR valve out, clean it with a petroleum based cleaner and throw it back in. There's ought to be a heckuva lot of gunk in that thing at 196k miles.

You might be better off buying an used engine for that price and throwing it in there. An engine rebuild kit will run you $300 or so, IIRC. Check www.importperformance.net or www.flatlanderracing.com for some pricing. If you need help with the car, holla back and I can help you get in touch with...

Vairking, any time you want to hang out. :thup: :cool: :) Some more pics I just uploaded.

I replaced the thermostat on my '93 a couple days ago and that 1 bolt was a PITA. I almost had two swear jars full by the time I got that one in. Felt a little crooked going in or it could have been my imagination since it had been so long in going in. heh. FWIW, the wrench and flexible ratchet...

I did a little more looking around tonight and the sound is definitely from the bottom of the engine. I just can't pinpoint to where I can definitely say the bearings are shot. Question: How hard is it to open the pan up and replace all the bearings from under the truck?

This was much too good a deal. BTW, 88verts, any chance I could get details on yours?

Thank you. :) My first day with it and I had to learn how to tow. :D All was good for the trip home. I gave it some TLC today. Probably some more this weekend when I can really get down under it. I have to clean up the underbody and the interior a little bit. And I hate owners who don't even...

I just bought this '93 XLT auto and found this great forum site. Not even a few days old and I am already learning so much about the Xplody ( as I lovingly address it ). The car on the trailer is my other car.

The CEL came on while on the interstate and went away by itself a couple of minutes later.

The noise happens only when the engine is revved while in park/neutral. Once I start driving, I can't seem to hear anything.

I recently bought a '93 XLT with 131k miles on it. I hear a knocking from the engine while in park @ 2500-3000 RPMs. It goes away at idle and at higher RPMs. I have searched and read up on lifter tap, rocker noises, etc and being new to the OHV concept, am finding it hard to pinpoint the noise...
