    Change the Coils… not always the answer

    I'm glad you had good service from the plastic cooling parts and improvising an override fan swirch. The thermostat retaining ear can be reinforced with a countersunk 4-40 screws which seal fine with a #42 drill. As for the plastic cooling parts they're all 6061 aluminum now. When the mystery...

    Change the Coils… not always the answer

    Go invest in a Fluke infra-red thermometer and point it at the exhaust manifold covers when fully warmed up. I'll find those two locations are the hottest parts in the engine bay. The manifold covers have one mica sheet sandwiched by two aluminum shells that are to shield the heat method. That...

    Liquid, the thermostat housing was the last of the plastic to 6061 conversion. I do believe that part is in the long list the machinist is working on. He has the Motorcraft thermostat parts bag to ensure proper fitment. The DCCV for the heater core control hasn'tever leaked but moght ask him...

    Loud whining/screeching noise followed by rapid overheating. 2001 Lincoln LS V8

    Well when disassemblying came the oe gaskets crumbled in my hands, thus whole gasket set replacement which lasted from ~225k to 492k without a leak. I use 1500 grit sandpaper to remove the aluminum oxide just before applying the creamy Ultra Blue silicone. I find this method works without fail.
