53k on the car but I put the heavy duty valve springs on and it later developed a lifter tick. Changed the oil and found all these pretty little sparkly metal flakes in it..... Talked to a shop about pulling the motor and he mentioned changing the bearings and cleaning everything up, but...

Gonna be sending my car off for a little rebuild. Got a few questions for the guys who've been there and done that. Should I go roller cam? Should I go ahead and port the heads? Not looking at breaking the bank, just curious if there are any other things I should look at. Not a racer but...

Been having a few issues with the TTA lately. Was washing it the other day, with the car idling, and I could smell something burning. Well the car stalled and when I finished washing it the car would not start. Found out the fusible link was cooked. Fixed that and was preparing to take the...

Ford mags are doing this too. Was subscribing to 5.0 mag and got MMFF in its place. Guess the mag industry will be a memory like albums before we know it.

The asking price was $32k I believe, for the one on here. And it was sold last time I checked that thread.

Prolly a scammer but figured I'd post it anyway since its local to me...... http://neworleans.craigslist.org/cto/4168612595.html

Appreciate the info TURBOWNER......I emailed Mike @ Full Throttle and he said he has everything to do the job. So I guess for now I'm gonna help out the little guy who is "in our turbo community." But if he can't get it done then I'll give Summit a shot. :)

That sounds a whole lot more involved than I wanna go. Just trying to get the car drivable again. I put some 100# valve springs and I "may" have done some internal damage with those. Will find out more tomorrow as I'm bringing the car to the shop tomorrow. PS Also don't know if my pockets...

May be looking at having a cam and lifter swap done on my TTA. Guy at the shop said it may take a while to get parts for the car because of the rarity, something I hadn't thought about. Where can I find a stock spec cam and stock lifters?? Would these items normally be in stock? Last time I...

Any local shops you could recommend for my TTA? I think I'm looking at a cam and lifter change at the easiest, posted a thread in the TTA section about my problems. Thanks for any help, Kris.

I've got a question about shops in this area also. I might have to get the cam and lifters changed as I'm having some issues with my TTA lately. Anybody you could recommend around here? PS It was nice meeting you at the track last week. Thanks Kris.

Hmm...so your guess is that it could be a cam swap fix? Yes it is a stock cam.

As the title says I'm thinking about selling my TTA. Its basically a survivor with 52k on it. Give yall a list of the bad: Needs paint (hood and roof are checking), headliner and seats need to be redone (really just drivers seat), headlight motors are shot, heater core is bypassed but AC...

What kind of ballpark price are you looking for?? Location?

Don't think I've ever seen this one around? How many TTA's do they have around here?
