I got the plugs and coils installed today. Luckily the gaskets were still good so I will save the ones I bought for when they are needed. Since I did not have to remove the valve covers I also did not get a chance to take a look at the timing gear but I will probably take a look at that this...

I got started on my repairs tonight but unfortunately I only got a few minutes of work done since I had to head into work. Here are the parts I am replacing. As I started taking the intake tube off I realized that one of the connectors was broken so I'll have to get that new plastic tube...

If you've been on the site for a while you may know the regularly needed repairs on the LS. Number 1 could easily be the degas bottle and number 2 is for sure coils needing to be replaced. Number 3 you are probably correct on. Number 4 I'd say is the clockspring. I'd use your knowledge to the...

I'm not going to quote all of that just for the sake of space but I gotcha. I've always wanted to join TechShop just for access to those kinds of tools. I did plan on making a mold of an emblem blank with no recessed Lincoln star so I could add my own items, be they 2D or 3D. So if I sent you a...

I love the review. "Definitely sounds a lot faster" ahahah

Yup, missed you there at the end of page 7, sorry. Since I tend to ramble I'll just answer your questions directly. Interesting idea. I'd like to see what you have in mind. So no face? Any particular reason for this as an emblem? This literally made me laugh out loud. I'm not sure Honest...

In Sheboygan, watching these.

I still don't get the big appeal of those grilles.

When did clocksprings get so expensive?! They were around $100 5-6 years ago and now they are at least $165. Limited parts out of production so they are higher demand/cost? Edit: $126 on Rock Auto

Where were you getting your material? I know tap-on and smooth-on are two of the main suppliers of the rubber, silicone and resins for casting but I just wanted to know if you know of any more cost effective options. I found some cheaper options through searching, just wanted to hear your take...

Now this is new news to me. Curious though, couldn't a simple diode prevent the backfeed you talk about?

Only $8 for the next step up in spark plugs, coils would be 8x what I paid. Unless I go straight up to Motorcraft coils I have not read one solid review on any other type. Accels maybe but I have heard people having failure issues with those too. Right now I need to replace them and maybe when...

For Valentine's day I got myself a few Lincoln parts. I shopped my list at Rock Auto but ended up finding everything cheaper on eBay with free shipping! Window regulators, front driver's and passenger's side Rock Auto $50.79 and $46.89 plus shipping eBay $65.75 shipped (saved $3.23 using...

I'd have to look into that to see if the different plastics would be up for that. Alternatively, I also wanted to get into casting metal, mostly aluminum, so that could be an option too. Probably expensive both ways. I just remembered my idea for turn signals integrated into the side mirrors also.

My guess would maybe be tie rod but I suppose a control arm could be bent also. Anyone is just going to be taking one of a few guesses based on the limited info you can provide. If you don't know what you're looking at under the car your best bet is to take it to a mechanic to check it out in...

I started pricing parts today. Looks like I'll be dropping $500-$1,000 easy. I have more time than money at the moment so I will be taking my rock auto parts list and seeing if I can pick some stuff up cheaper on eBay or elsewhere. I know my window regulators will already be $15-25 cheaper each...

I will be heading to a pick and pull junkyard in the next week or two for some LS parts. How much are you looking to spend?

Oh, so you were the one supplying all of those! AWESOME! Any reason you didn't make a full LSE kit? Mind you, I have no idea what that would cost to make or what materials would be best. Sounds like you are very knowledgeable and I would love to be able to reach out if I'm having any issues...

Shopping for tanks now. Found a 2.5gal for $25 and a large one (looks like it stands about 3ft tall, maybe same diameter as the 2.5gal) for $95, just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Just got a call from the guy after posting this. Heading out to pick up the 2.5gal now. Still haven't heard form...

I love new ideas so you can drop the emblem idea any time. This stuff can get pretty expensive pretty fast for large parts so unless I'm doing it for myself anyway I would probably need a certain number of orders for larger parts but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
