Restore of my 1986 Bronco XLT


Recommended Posts

As having no welding machine, I used my grinder and dremel to repair the pump anchor pad:

Another question: on the exploded view l, there is a snap ring on the output shaft, if I haven't seen it wrong. On mine there wasn't a snap ring...

Well done on the pump arm!

As for the snap ring, I don't remember if mine had one or not. But I don't see a place for one on yours. :nabble_anim_confused:

Hmm...it looks like a groove there over the synchrone ring...but as I've said there was none as I'd disassembled the t-case.

Another question: I've bought the universal joint yoke from moog...but it's much too small for the output yoke on my t-case...

Downwards is the new one from moog...

So, have I've ordered the wrong or is rockauto.com wrong?

I would suspect Rock Auto. I ordered a manual lever position sensor for a 1990 E4OD, there is a TSB from Ford regarding the updated MLP design as the original was prone to water intrusion. Guess what they sent, the original 1990 switch, when I contacted them it was "that's what you ordered".

Parts stores here are no better for the most part.

Today I want to do my yearly oil and filter change. Now I see that I haven't bought the zinc oil additive, that I have used before...

Do you think I can try it without? If the lifters makes some noise, can I add it later?

Maybe there are also some alternatives to the comp cams 159, I currently use...

So as changing my spark-plugs, I've decided to take a look into the cylinders...

That's what I've found:

20240714_111537.jpg.6f58fb5e29a5749e459e92b58ddeac42.jpg

Passenger side 1 to 4

Drivers side 5 to 8

That's number 8

Inlet and outlet valve no. 7

And that's number 8...

Does this look like that there is a problem?

number eight looks to have an oil problem. its getting oil from somewhere. its small enough to possibly be from pcv accumulation. how is the pcv setup? I ask this as there are some cases where the pcv has been connected to a runner in the intake and not into a common point of the plenum and then the vapors accumulate/condense there. mostly common in carbureted engines but I think you are still using efi. pull the pcv hose and check for wet oil. it may be a good time to add a catch can in line before the intake.

It started life as a EFI 5.0

Of course it has oil in #8, that's where the PCV goes.

Exactly, Jim, the 302 EFI manifold does have the PCV inlet at the back. I do not know what valve covers he is using. I don't know if the stock ones on the EFI 302s have a baffle under the PCV location.
