Brand new to forum but just had to register specifically to send you this message.
This was, BY FAR, the best article that properly explains the bleeding procedure for the 4.6 v8. I've had long term intermittant coolant loss / over heating issues with my otherwise solid 2005 Mustang GT and this helped me out greatly. There are far to many forums where people answer questions with opinions, not facts!
Old post but hope you are still involved...please keep up the great work and service you provide to everyone out here!
Thank you for your excellent post!
I do have an important question though. Do you know where I can get cross pipe bleeder valve O rings? Ford only sells the complete cross pipe as one unit. My O rings seem to shear when replacing the bleeder valve. When I first removed the bleeder there was only a small peice of the O ring there. I picked up some O rings from a dealership (simply out of an O ring assortment container) and they sheared as well. I'm wondering if they need to be specialized to withstand the heat of the metal around them?
Anyway, Great Post, please keep it up!
