There you go, I have a 4.6. It's a 2010. Would a dealership be able to fix the problem? Or do I have to bite the bullet and buy that tap?
The truck is like brand new, and I got it for $7500 so I don't mind putting some money into it.

2017-11-02 21:41:18 UTC  

It would probably be cheaper and less time consuming to have the dealership take care it.

The heads have to come off the the kit in my opinion is too fucking expensive to have a one or 2 time use out of it.

2017-11-02 21:41:29 UTC  

*and the kit

2017-11-02 21:41:55 UTC  

@RevStench but take it to an actual Ford dealership

2017-11-02 21:44:48 UTC  

Word, thanks man. I'm trying to treat this truck well, and I don't really trust some of these little auto shops around me, the actual Ford dealership was my only choice haha.

2017-11-02 21:46:31 UTC  

Good shit man, glad to help with the choice.

Keep us updated with her man

2017-11-02 21:48:27 UTC  

Will do, thank you.

@RevStench hey man if you search around on the web there's a tool that they use to extract those plugs because when you try to remove that it will probably break. There are techniques where you can put something like seafoam or something down in there and let it soak and saturate for a while and try to break it loose but they're notorious for that I would not take it to a dealer will be somebody else out there that can fix it for you for a lot cheaper I got the name of a good mechanic on Bardstown Road at fegenbush way.

Bardstown at Fegenbush is Bill Collins Ford?

2017-11-03 01:48:10 UTC  

Harpers chevron on Bardstown Road across from it. He's great! Been there 30 yrs and reasonable.

2017-11-03 02:19:59 UTC  

Ahh ok, I know where that is.

2017-11-03 02:23:57 UTC  

He's good

replaced front pads and rotors, went to bleed brakes and the brake fluid was dry. which explains why brake pedal was going thru the floor. the brake fluid reservior has a dark coloration up to 3/4 inch from the top which led me to believe it was full. itll be nice to have new brakes and rotors anyhow. its a 91 camry so parts are very cheap @Brenten.Ryan-AZ

2017-11-04 00:20:54 UTC  

@Deleted User sometimes the brake reservoir will leak back into the power booster and you may get some fluid coming through the firewall into the car under the carpet or you may smell something funny. You may want to look at that

>91 camry
>power booster
*what did he mean by this?*

2017-11-04 00:31:21 UTC  

ill look that up then check it out. whatevers leaking is under the passenger side and the brake fluid reservior is on opposite side of the engine compartment

2017-11-04 01:56:40 UTC  

The master cylinder typically attaches to a round drumlike vacuum assisted booster. Hence power brakes

What’s up bud

2017-11-05 22:23:07 UTC  

So I just changed the spark plugs on my bike (kawasaki ninja 500), and when I turn it on and give it any throttle it just dies

2017-11-05 22:26:38 UTC  

Was it running well before you changed the plugs?

2017-11-05 22:31:11 UTC  

Well I think there's an air leak somewhere but it was running better before I changed the plugs

2017-11-05 22:38:08 UTC  

I’m not too versed with motorcycles but the same foundation of drivability applies.

It’s either fuel, air or spark. Did you go with OEM plugs?

2017-11-05 22:41:30 UTC  

Also, it idles okay?

2017-11-05 23:04:19 UTC  

@Brenten.Ryan-AZ no they aren't OEM and it does idle like it did before this particular issue began, I think there's an air leak somewhere though, because it is idling rough

2017-11-06 13:23:22 UTC  

Is it misfiring? I suppose on a motorcycle misfiring will cause a stall when you give it gas. @Brenten.Ryan-AZ ?

2017-11-06 13:23:38 UTC  
2017-11-06 17:53:48 UTC  

It is possible, I’d back track every step that you took while changing spark plugs and make sure everything is installed correctly. You can take a hand held propane tank to check for intake leaks (lean condition) and see it it changes idle at all

Are spare tires really gonna wear out after 50 miles? I had to put one on the other day and won't have a chance to get a replacement until tomorrow.

2017-11-12 16:20:36 UTC  

You should be okay if you haven’t used it before and you drive slow

2017-11-14 13:44:47 UTC  

Just keep an eye on the tread, most donuts have bright color striping that uncovers as the tread wears. Donuts are typically made out of soft rubber, and the nature of a spare tire means less surface area to spread the weight of the vehicle, so don't rely on them any longer than you need to.

2017-11-15 20:05:18 UTC  

Good tip about the paint. I put about 120 miles on it before I could get it changed out and it hadn't worn the tread out completely. Maybe another 30 miles

2017-11-19 01:09:46 UTC  

How do I tell of my truck has over head cams or valves ?

2017-11-19 01:13:26 UTC  

Overhead cams operate the valves.

2017-11-19 01:13:55 UTC  

An overhead cam is just the camshaft mounted on top of the engine block

In this gif, the cams are at the top and the crankshaft is at the bottom.

2017-11-21 13:49:33 UTC  
2017-11-21 13:49:47 UTC  

Long story short, you can see overhead cams on top of the engine block.
