no big deal as long as you tightened the clamps up where it was leaking. You probably did some good by letting the air burp out of the engine as it was being filled.

Was more concerned about water going into the water pump. due to the fresh gasket hehe.People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.Comment

Here's the one I've used. The inner bolt screws into a threaded insert/adapter that in turn screws into the crank (note the selection of 8 adapters), while the outer bolt turns against the big nut to pull the balancer onto the crank snout. The big bushing has bearings inside it to reduce friction, though I think I've generally done without it.Originally posted by Nathan in MN View PostLast edited by 1987cp; 10-26-2008, 12:42 AM.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

I think about .045" or so is factory spec, but I normally run 'em at 0.050" just to get the spark a little hotter.

set it to .50 hehehe.
SHE RUNS hehe. im so proude . In all you mang's and Myself. Big Thanks agine to EVERYONE!.
Let's seee, well when i turned her over i notice my steering being a little screwy so i checked the ps fluid, And sure nuff it was demn near empty. Im hoping this was from being on it's side for eh a weak just about.
Which leads me to a question..
On the PS mounting thing. ( Not sure what it's called.. ) Any ways Belove the starter bolt. there are three places for other bolts. Well the bottom one and the top one are both in. But i couldn't get the middle one in Does that absolutley half to be in there? Or is it alright for it not to be in?
::: Thinks ::: Ah yes. It starts realt realy well now and it stays on at idle woo hoo. ( Even cold! )
However you can tell 100% that i have the timing advanced waaay to far.
So tomarow i will be setting the timing back. Hopefully with my light if it will work. If not i will at least retard it by ear. Due to i advanced it by ear...
I so happy. And tired..)

Well, i retarded it back. My demn light still dosent want to work. but anyways.
That poping/hicuping/backfire is back agine. Im really beginning to think it has alot to do with either A the Roto Button/B Exhaust. Or C the Dist.
To boot i sprung a leak somewhere. gonna wait for the steam to calm down a grunt. Which should be right now to open the hood and peeak around).
D.K.
: Edit : I see no signs of water leak. all my hoses are still on. And if it where leaking at the water pump from beneath im sure it woldnt get that much on the exhaust manifold. I did spill alot of oil on here earler. im sure thats what it was.
Any ideas mang? Best way i can explaine it is two way's. One it builds up pressure and then it relives it's self with a hickup/pop. The other way i can explaine it is it sounds like it's wanting to fire then it finnaly does.
Anyways. Maybey with all you great minds we can fig it out hehe. Thanks mang's

Yep, only two bolts going through the p/s bracket, since there are only two holes in the head that those holes line up with. One mounts the bottom of the alternator, and the other is somewhat below it.
My first guess for popping would also be incorrect ignition timing. Especially if you managed to get it way off like when I installed one of mine 180 degrees off! (engine wouldn't run like that, though)
For the water leak: I don't remember, but did you get a new radiator cap? I once had one start barfing, so I hunted around for an 18psi cap and called it good. Latest funky thing I noticed were radiator caps with built-in thermometers so you know when the engine's cool .... kind of a funny concept there. :p

Yeah, definitely check the timing. If your timing light isn't working, get another one or borrow one from someone. Get it set right (you do know the correct procedure for setting the timing as far as disconnecting the spout connector, right?) and I bet your problems will be solved.
Oh, and congrats on getting it back together, I knew you could do it!

Cool. See, its really not so horrible now that you've done it. Its harder to explain than to actually do it most of the time.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

hehe thanks mang's. umm I FOUND the water leak.. It's that pesky EGR water line that been caped off for or 3 years now. Im guessing with the new water pump it made to much pressure for it. hehe.. sooo i Half to figure out a way to get my big arse hands in there. And how to actually take the old fitting off...
Indeed hehe, i know how to set timing on a ford. heres the thing. when i disconect the umm... Spout connector.. i think thats right.. anyways. it dosent do anything good or bad to the engine. ( It dosent increase rpm nor make them go down. )
I went and advanced my timing agine. And now guess what. I dont have that perfect idle anymore. ( Im thininking i had it before due to my cpu/brain/whatever was restarted.)
Was in the think tank earlier ( Chat room :P ) And i had some cool ideas come across me.
New gaskets for the CFI and EGR for one. A new fuel filter. Umm.check the grounds for the ECM. I think thats right. ( Which im thinking that might actualy be bad? do they even go bad? and would that be the reason why i couldn't never do a KOER test?)
You know mang's I really loved doing that work to the engine.. But whats sad is, now seeing how this poping is back i really am deciding to get rid of her. I dunno ill half to sleep on that.just had so many plans to do with her. and it doesn't seem that i will ever be able to do them.. :'(
Other things that where thought of where new EGR and TPS sensor. those two parts add up rather quickly though..
I remember last time i got a EGR or TPS was from vato zone. and Feller asked me if my car was made in canada or US and i said US. not knowing. And i am really thinking that had some part into it.
Anyways. im rambling now hehe.
Thanks agine mang's for all the help!!!!!1111!!!!one!!!111

Thought
I got to thinking today.
And now i have a question, on the EGR the part that has fin type holes. Is there a gasket in there? And if so if i scraped it waay back when could that have caused the poping?People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.Comment
