The torque converter when it's fully seated in the transmission will actually rub the inside of the bell housing when you spin it. If you try to install the transmission without the converter fully seated, you will damage the transmission.

Picture 4 is PVC nipples one goes to the PCV valve in one valve cover and the other goes to the breather on the opposite valve cover. Picture 5 is the water temp sensor wire on the intake manifold and the other longer wire goes to the oil pressure sender on the lower left side of the block just...

The F models had a similar problem in the late 80s and Ford made a reinforcement plate to correct the problem.

Worn out shifters that are unavailable new except the core shifters that may or may not be available.

There all Cologne engines so maybe, it been a long time for me also on working on these.

2.9 is a metric motor so I doubt a 302, 351 or a 460 would work. One from a 2.8 might work as the 2.8 and 2.9 are both Cologne engines. I would bet someone here might have one, you might want to post a part wanted add.

Impact wrench is the best way, Harbor Freight sells a corded 1/2-inch drive impact that will do it.

Might pull the vacuum line off the fuel pressure regulator and see if fuel is leaking past the diaphragm. and if so, replace the fuel pressure regulator and see if it clears up.

The only thing a thermostat does is determine the minimum operating temperature the rest of the cooling system determines what the normal operating temperature will be. 1 thought on this subject if you live in a cold climate, I would think about the warmer one. On the oil pressure subject I...
