    recommendation for a mechanic or shop in the Milwaukee,WI area

    Does anyone know a reputable shop/mechanic to do the timing service on a 2000 Lincoln LS V8 here in the greater Milwaukee, WI area... Normally I would do it myself but no longer have a garage. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Desperately need help identifying this sound...

    Not the serpentine tensioner, definitely timing related, I believe I'm hearing the lower passenger side... Definitely belt slapping in there, tearing it apart tomorrow night, as far as pulley squeal, has to be the water pump, looks like I'm going all out and servicing all timing parts. Anyone...

    One of the lower tensioners must be toast, going in again to change the rest of the tensioners soon, the squeaking must be a pulley cause that sound is gone with the serpentine off, thanks for the input guys, I'll post again to update results

    No belt squealing during acceleration, but sounds like bearing squeal, tapping gets louder in the area of the crank pulley/water pump

    I scope the water pump, I can hear loud tapping as well, but nowhere else, it has me baffled, just out of curiosity... Could that even occur? Or is it a possibility it could be the timing chain?

    History: Right hand tensioner cracked, stopped car immediately after hearing the tapping, took apart, due to time constraints It took roughly 30 days to replace, tried to fire car up, nothing... No fuel, track issue down to passenger fuel pump, replace, she fires up. I hear the sound in the...

    Fuel pump lines help

    Removed the lines, clips were very brittle so I'm looking for replacements, anyone know where I can acquire these ( I've searched everywhere including dealers, and local parts stores. )

    I didn't want to but... Nitrous???

    Dead serious, can't joke around with NOS... I ran a dry system on my SHO up until 2007.... spun a bearing but different reason, the 3.2L Yamaha's bearings is a big weak point... anyways dropping a wet kit in the LS soon for added HIT when needed and going completely stock on my SHO, can't seem...

    I didn't want to but... Nitrous???

    I'm in debates to either wet or dry ( I don't need comparisons, just looking for ease of install and reliable.. for the most part ), leaning 80 shot wet, but are there any nitrous guys out there that have installation threads with pics or which kit they have installed? Tips ( Obviously going...

    Since the LS has dual cats...

    Its a great idea, the rev limiter is there to protect the torque converter, and keep the trans from over heating at idle from over reving.... I get it, you want my balls are bigger than yours sound but realistically the look at that kids face will be better if he didnt hear what he's against, I...

    Come to think of it a 06' ish V-10 M5 could be had for around the 30k mark.... but now maintenance, repairs, insurance and reliability become a question....but what I would give to own one of those however....

    Forget the MKC... Lincoln Bring Back the LSE

    Your right, even I have a hard time venturing into the $40's but thats close to the limit for the right car for me.... either way the car I photoshoped goes into the upper $80k's, GTR territory.... and I agree, there's plenty who say they want the halo but in the end don't bite for whatever...
