Too many things wrong now!

Anyway, I've got a bearing noise in the rear(hub bearings?), its going into the dealership on Monday morning. Thanks to Carey and his extended warranty(yeah buddy!) It shouldn't cost too much. And I'm still battling a leaky exhaust manifolds. Since Mieneke and Ford both use the Fel-Pro gaskets, I searched out a company named Victor Reinz. They make a multi layer S/S and fiber gasket(Fel-Pro is one layer of S/S and fiber) I had the manifolds planed to even them out. Man were they warped!!! If this don't work, I could be in for some new manifolds. Plus, Gary is on his way back from Florida to kick my ass at Englishtown with his new SRT-8. And the new 22" wheels/tires are sitting in my workshop piled up against the wall. Gotta get those on too. Whats a guy to do? I know, "get to work". Bob :banghead: :boohoo:

Hey Bob,

Sorry to hear of the issues you are having. Hopefully you will get them resolved at minimal expense.

BTW: as you know, it's not about kicking ass at e-town, just more about having fun. :haveabeer:

Yeah, Yeah, so says the guy with the 13 second truck!! So, how was Florida? Nice and tan? Play golf? As long as you had fun, to quote somebody famous.....Bob :grin::grin:

Hey Bob still here with some awesome weather. Not a golfer even though my home is 200 feet from the course. Mini golf is more for me. Enjoying the pool/spa and relaxing.

btw: miss my 13 second ride :cry:

See you in a few weeks at e-town :haveabeer:

Bob C,

I have several sujestions, Use the copper SSI gaskets or the Bassanni with the replaceable inserts. I have used both on 5.0L ford headers, Also I have used the copper rtv on felpro's.

I got goodseals either way. Use bolts not studs. Blue lok-tite.

Thanks Eddie! Forgot about the copper permatex. I used it on my Harley when I changed the pipes. Those gaskets I found should do it and I'll add the permatex as well. Thanks again. Bob
