how do you run out of oil? did you put a hole in the pan or just never checked it...any way you see it the engine is gonna have to come out and either be rebuilt or replaced

Mod motors need extra oil. More than likely ran the motor low on oil and spun a rod bearing. Mod motors should have 1 additional quart of oil (ie: if your car recommends 6qts then put 7qts). When your motor is running, you only have 1 quart sitting in your oil pan.. so if you run 1+ qts low, then you have almost no oil being picked up by your oil pick-up tube.

pm me if your intrested, i built the motor for mine before i put it in. i have a 98 cobra swaped car. these engines are extremely expencive to rebuild. rods can not be remachined and reused they have to be replaced. the crank is such a hard surface that only a few machine shops around have the equiptment to put a nice enough finish on them, and not many people know this but the 4v cobra in those years actually have a taper in the bore that is machined thre for performance reasons. so naturally they burn a little oil. not enough to run out between normal oil changes but enough that when the engines have seen wear they will run low when you may approach the 5k oil change interval. anyway pm me and i may be able to point u in the best direction.

91blackonblack is banned from this website for good. Vallejo ghetto drama does not belong on CAFords! Y'all need to find a different website. PLEASE! GTFO and take your ghetto shit with you.

ps- ENGLISH DOES MATTER. How foolish of CAFords, we wrote this on our registration page http://oi49.tinypic.com/2akjm7k.jpg but now realize it's useless because the intended audience CAN'T READ, TYPE OR UNDERSTAND ENGLISH!



His response:

"I just want to say i need some very important info.an the onl way was through a friend to help me find that info.but you guys are some fucking bitches that hide behind ur fucking computer all damn day.you fucking bastards racist piece of shyt.exspecally with that nazi symbol you guys think is koo.fuck you i hope i fuck ur sisters or wife.punk bitches.you guys are fucking haters.an i hope ur fucking website crashes to.god has the last word.an u guys let that piece of shyt 396 get away with murder.an letting everybody get banned because of his shyt talking.i hope he gets his to from somebody.one day he going to say the wrong thing to somebody.fuck u bitches.you mark ass.bye punks"

At least he's consistent with his views!
