What that thing in the side of the oilpan?
I may have messed up . The '87 2.9 motor I'm rebuilding had a fitting in the left side of the oilpan that accepts a "single-wire" probe of some sort. ( Very close to the starter). Whats it for? I'm guessing a oil temp probe? I'm going back together and hope I can I do without it? I ask bec...

Yeah maybe, but it was my bad for just pulling the rings out of the box without looking at the box carefully. After the big flap is openned on the ring-set box, there's three more smaller flaps over the partitioned sections. Each of the three flaps were marked what ring was under it. I just totally ...

Been a while, getting back to the 2.9 rebuild.
Hi all, it's been since last June that I was tearing the spare motor apart for a rebuild. The bored, cleaned and painted Ford blue bare block has been sitting 'till now waiting for me. :D Finally got started this week-end. Verified main brg oil clearances and now the cranks in. Checked fresh bore/pi...

Yeah, I'm a little lost about what's different about '87 and '88 heads. Something major, like the angle the ports exit the casting? Where the '87 manifolds MUST be used with the heads? Or what? My motor i'm rebuilding is a '87 but I'm putting in my '88 BII 4WD. Sooo, between '87 and '88, is there re...

FWIW, I'm rebuilding a 2.9 with 140k miles on it. My trusty machine shop guy said the valve guides in the heads are pretty slpppy...valves wobble too much. Intake valves all have a excessively wide seat area. My compression test revealed 110-120 psi across all six cylinders. ( Don't know why yours w...
