My tip of the day...I worked for a Ford dealership from '89 until `95 and saw firsthand a good number of transmission failures/problems over the years..i also talked to a lot of customers that had 200,000+ kms. on their vehicles with no tranny problems whatsoever...every single person i talked...

GM Synchromesh...that`s right,GM! A large number of performance oriented people are using this in their non GM vehicles..i swear by it for my Ford Taurus SHO and a lot of Mustang and Import owners have used it for quite some time...but look to be paying upwards of 10 dollars a quart for it....

I can tell you that after A LOT of experience(since the early seventies) using different brands of mufflers for various types of applications that IMHO Magnaflow mufflers are the best i have ever used as far quality for the money...middle of the road in price,but top of the line performance(they...

I believe Tech 2000 and Supertech are different...in Canada,i`ve been told Walmart Tech 2000 is supplied by Safety Kleen Corp.which is among other things an oil recycling company...

You most likely either have a pinhole leak in a hose(some are so fine they look like a spider web) or possible heater core problems....

WOW..those look like they may have been exposed to nitrous oxide and/or 15:1 A/F ratios!!!

No way i would flush..just remove the pan and change the filter,then refill...

I should inform you that this is the U.S. Part number...the Canadian part # is 10953465.

Be careful,there are different friction modifier variations of synchromesh.The Synchromesh used in high performance applications is standard Synchromesh,Part # 12345349.

Patman..your right about the castrol being thick for a 30 weight...the thing that impressed me right off the bat was how it quieted down that 3.8 Ford V6 immediately,these engines are noisy by nature...i never expected a 0w-30 weight oil would do this...

I`m really impressed with the German Castrol Syntec 0w-30..i`m currently using it in my 3 cars,a Ford Taurus 3.8 V6,a Taurus SHO 3.0 dohc v6,and a Cadillac Fleetwood 4.5 V8....i`m going to get UOA`s done on all 3 in the near future and will post....

Since your drag racing,you obviously want to get the most performance from the engine...Least amount of friction=more Horsepower...i would think a synthetic would be best for your application....

you`ll have to cut the breather hose,and the part that comes from the valve cover,attach to the bottom of the breather valve(in),and the other half of the hose will go from the side(outlet)of the breather valve to your airbox..

Sure..they are round shaped metal on the outside,with an inlet tube on the bottom and an outlet tube on the side,they have a filter media on the inside...they work in conjuction with the pcv for better ventilation...whereas the pcv doesn`t act as a filter for condensation, the air breather valve...

What you could try is to attach an air breather valve between the intake box and the valve cover breather hose...some Chryslers have this from the factory...see if this helps with the condensation...they`re about 5 bucks at Canadian Tire ect...easy 2 minute install....

Engine could still have contaminants in the oil pan/crankcase...was there a stop leak additive used before the head gasket replacement was done?...if so,IMO you should do 2 complete engine flushes and drop the oil pan to get the gunk out..i just finished a head gasket job where the person tried...

IMHO ZMax works...i even used AVBlend over 20 years ago in my small block chevy`s!I know it goes against conventional wisdom on this forum,but i Love the stuff!

I am officially a Dumbass ..i don`t know a air filter from a fuel filter..as soon as i saw K&N i thought air!!!

I remember reading on the net a couple years back about a study with Avblend where some aircraft engines tested had horsepower gains of up to 9 percent...has anyone else read this or know who did the testing or what site that info was on?...i can`t remember where i saw the info...

However,they can say that ZMax reduces friction and Increases horsepower,which are my 2 main concerns!
