So, all engines with Vortech heads do not utilize the bypass hole!

Re: 2002 MPI engine struggling "under load"
Ethanol has been the culprit for a handful of fuel lines. They soften up in the process of weakening, and they can collapse under pressure, creating a bottle neck.

Re: Where are the controls to raise the engine compartment on a Fiesta Vee 242?
270 upgraded to the electric. Don't know how many stern door latches it caused me.

Re: Must be winter
I replaced mine with a stainless steel one ,It was nice but i think it added some extra weight back there that I didn't need if I would do it again I would replace it with the originalFormulaben said:Me neither, but after watching a couple videos I think it's doable. I'm just praying my gimbal ring is rounded out, as there is a fair amount of slop in the steering.

No!
I paid $27.92 for both. I couldn’t believe it 😂
Next time I’m going to cut up the Scotch Brite pads.

Re: Meet the new La Rea!
The yard at Riviera Beach had a 2-week wait, but Fort Pierce was able to take us right away. Customers can use any contractors they want, and the yard provides a list of vetted contractors for out-of-towners like me. Prices are reasonable ... accounting for contractor work, we'll pay a bit less than we'd pay at a yard where they only allow in-house labor. I think the forklift was $75 for 30 minutes. Every spot has power and water, but no overnighting so we're at a Hamptons Inn.
It's interesting ... the longer you stay, the rate actually goes up instead of down. They want people to come in, do their work, and get out. Boat storage is not allowed.
And oddly, this forum bleeps me for trying to use the word Cr@cker!

Re: Meet the new La Rea!
@TonyG13 -- Four nuts that came off easily, and the yard forklift! The whole thing took about 15 minutes. Honestly, I budgeted two full days to get those lock mechanisms out. It took about three hours.
