Ford Mustang Short-Block Engine Rebuild - Recession Special Part 1
|
This is our 143,000-mile short-block. You'll want to start with as good a candidate as you can find. This will limit trips to the machine shop. Upon inspection, all of the bearings looked quite good with no copper showing through, save for the last main journal, but the minor amount of copper showing in the bearing and good condition of the crank journal gave us incentive to keep moving forward. As you remove the nuts from the connecting-rod ends, fit some rubber hose or tubing over the studs to prevent them from nicking the crank journals during removal. View Related Article
