need help on saturday

[kustomcougar]

just seeing if anyone wanted to come out and give me a hand putting on the svt lim and black valve covers. i'll order pizza and have refreshments available. it shouldn't take more than an hour or so but i'd appreciate the help especially from someone whos done this before

[kustomcougar]

i'll also reinburst someone for gas if they come out since its so damn expensive right now

I can't get out to help but really this isn't a tough one to do. The only thing that is kind of a pain is the back bank cam cover. Getting everything disconnected off of that is kind of a hassle. The LIM is easy to do. Just make sure you cover the lim witha cloth or something while messing around with those cam covers, wouldn't want to drop somethign in there. Also if you haven't done spark plugs in a long long time or ever this woudl be a good time to replace them as you will already have everything apart to them anyway.

ya i am just a little nervous about taking off the fuel rail, injectors and the stuff in there, i just dont want to mess anything up, the svt uim was a piece of cake. i changed my plugs to autolite double platinums in october so there still pretty good, i am putting on a new coil pack though since the valve covers are going to be off and i can just screw in the new one no problem

make sure you have the little plastic "fuel rail" clip tool if you are removing the LIM, also get yourself some new injector gasket/seals.

[kustomcougar]

injector gaskets came with with the valve cover gaskets, and what is the tool called?

[hamill]

it's a little plastic thing that allows you to disconnect the fuel line. I don't know the exact name. They are like $5 for a set, If you don't have them, good luck getting the fuel line out.

Guessing the clip is different for the 2.0, but if its the same I used a couple small flat head screwdrivers to push the two ends in.

[Jorgen]

It is a ford fuel line tool. They come in kits for like $5-10 for like 4 or 5 sizes of plastic ones. You can also buy aluminum ones for about the same price each but they are mostly just over priced as the plastic ones do it just fine.

Also the gaskets I think he was talking about are the o-rings for the injectors, I would bet, are those the ones that came with the valve cover gaskets?

[kustomcougar]

ya i don't think the o rings for the injectors came with the valve cover gaskets, this is all that came with the valve cover gasket set, i dont know what the black ones on the left are for though
