thanks boomin. that solves many hose issues.

do either or both hoses go to the large nipples at ABCorD?

is this vacuum T in the right place and what hooks up to it. 2001 Ranger 2WD 4.0 SOHC. Is this the breather? I opened it up and cleaned it out.

There is a tiny sealing ring at the base of the top piece of the lifter. You must use a thin pick to gently push it in to the bore of the lifter base to get them to collapse. What a pain times 12. Every one was the same.

was finally able to pull the bottom part of the lifter out. it looks like the top part is not going down into the cup. do they take a little persuasion to get past the sealing washer?

the vacuum port to the left of the arrow is what I was trying to indicate but my label is little bit off. I wondered what vacuum hose goes to this port.

I have removed the cams and had a valve job done. Now I am ready to install the cams but upon inspection I have only removed part of the lash adjusters. The tops came out easy but the bottoms appear to be secured into the head. Is the a two part adjuster? Do the bottoms need to come out to...

gotta wait for my OTC 7928 valve spring compressor since no one in Dallas has one and I need to get my fresh heads on the block. Can I put them on with the bare cams and put the rockers on later. Granted I would have to do a little crank juggling to keep the valves from hitting upon rocker...

Thank you XLT here are the vacuum ports on the manifold. Also one is shown for the back of the valve cover on the driver side that has a water jacket. What is that device? It's the last photo. Looks like it heats the blowby and keeps it from turning to jelly. Presently it is routed around the...

thank you XLT. that is a relief. i have scoured junkyards looking for the routing to no avail.

ugly valve strike and the mystery vacuum box. decided to buy the subscription thanks SE for all the help.

Yes I bent the valves. There was an eyebrow where every intake valve touched the pistons. Just got them replaced and resurfaced the heads ready to install. Still no answer on that black plastic box in the rear valley between the cylinder banks on the top of the block Where does that big...

What is this vacuum box in the lower rear intake area with a 5/8 hose and a one way valve with a splitter on the end. When I bought the truck there were two hoses with bolts for plugs coming off the Y splitter from behind the plastic intake.. Don't know where they go so I just capped them. Also...

I did the whole cam chain job and she started right up with terrible clacking. I replaced the new front tensioner with another one and it shut up. Now I have a terrible belt or bearing squeal. I noticed belt hop at the harmonic balancer and saw a 3/16 gap between the plastic sleeve on the...

just noticed a small oil drip from the rear tensioner dripping onto the catalytic converter. nice fire hazard. I'm guessiung first try and torque it down a little tighter. It does have a silver metal sealing washer.

helpful videos After searching the web and throwing out all the garbage info as near as I could make it I did find two videos that in conjunction with the Chilton or Haynes and the Cam Installation Tool Manual made this job a little easier to understand. Realize of course that I am a novice...

#5 needs more input Thanks street rod. I drove around the block a couple of times and it has run for a total of about 10 minutes but the clicking scares me. I do not want to magnetically pick pieces out of the sump. I will run a little longer and see what happens. As for more input. Was...

I installed new timing chains and tensioners from NAPA about 5 months ago. I used Cloyes. Did a complete engine removal on the stand to accomplish this. Had to do a job in Santa Monica and left it idle till just now. I finished the install. New gaskets thermostat etc and replaced all the...

How do you get a wrench on those down pipe nuts that connect the cat to the cast iron passenger side manifold. The cat is so fat and the firewall is so close that no deepwell with a universal will fit. an extension with a u-joint has no room. i finally removed the passenger manifold from the...

mustang swap funky stuff I am buying the 4.0L V6 from a 2005 Mustang tomorrow. Will the Ranger wiring harness cover all the sensors and bases or is there any need for me to retrieve the wiring harness and/or computer from the Mustang? Also it is cheaper without the...
