and on a side note if you know anyone in FL with a pi pass head let me know lol.

Drastang

are the Romeo and Windsor heads not interchangeable?

I was just told I would need the Windsor valve covers and I'd be set?

jwog666

if i remember right, you need to swap a windsor timing cover as well

oxfordgt

You will need the valve covers and different front cover bolts. Front cover is fine and you can get the bolts as a set from summit.

Have you tried turning around the cam not sticking and putting it in the suspected bad head to check that it's not the cam.

Drastang

I would take the other cam out but I had to helicoil one of the bolts. i had not suspected the cam because it did turn fine. I removed the cam to replace a lifter and when i put it back that first tower binds it. I loosened each set of bolts and found it would spin free with the first 2 lose with only 1/4 turn. i will take one of the old cams in and try.

think i know what happened when i took the cam out, i remember it cocking up a little in the rear. but I just applied a lil pressure to the rear it came right off. but i think that bent the front first cam. when i turn the cam and then remove cam caps i get a fine grey oil so i know the cam it eating away at the cam caps.

WhiteFoxGT

ok, are these cams the original cams to the motor? did you mix up the caps? You have helicoiled holes and you sanded away material on the caps?

Time to throw those heads away

if you are on a fixed income you shouldnt be tinkering with a mustang...especially since you obviously have no clue what you are doing

WJL

Go buy a low mile junkyard motor $500.00 - $750.00 put in the car and drive it, you can work on that motor when you have the time and money.

Like i had mentioned before find a tech school near you they might even put the motor in at no cost

Drastang

the schools shut me down very quick said It could open them up to lawsuits.

again if you don't have good information for me then please stfu and go somewhere else I don't have time for you.

I actually this whole time had a mustang, ford specialist 15 miles from me but he doesn't advertise gotta know a guy that knows a guy I guess. said he could fix head it for 70 bucks good thing I found him he was set to retire in 3 months.

throw heads away ...trash them........good thing I know some of you just talk out your *** and don't have a clue what your talking about.

pretty much only people on here I know I can listen to is oxfordgt and jwogg666 the rest of you mostly just wanna hate.

oxfordgt

This is stupid, why tell someone to give up and not do it yourself and stop trying to learn.
