Re: [MBZ] Built Ford Tough!
That is utterly AMAZING. I want a '65 T Bird with the folding top in the worst - and probably stupidest - way. On Thu, Jan 1, 2015 at 5:29 PM, M.

It has been sitting for a while and there is a light coating of rust on a two of the cylinders. The pistons, crank ect. are still in the engine. I was thinking of spraying them down with Kroil and then going over them with a scotch-brite pad. Either that or positioning each piston at the bottom of the bore and using a glaze breaker on each cylinder. I am not changing the rings or anything, just putting a head on. Any ideas? You could use the electric rust-removal trick that I used on my genset. Miraculous. You just have to ensure that the water doesn't leak down past the rings, or that if it does you clean it out again soon. In my case, the rust that froze the pistons was a pretty good water seal. http://cathey.dogear.com/genset.html -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] Built Ford Tough
Sure, I can see it now, you're zooming down the highway in the rain, cruise control on. Suddenly there's smoke because the wiper motor catches fire, you step on the brake but nothing happens because the retainer clip falls off, and the cruise control won't shut off,. As you drift into the shoulder towards that parked semi because the intermediate steering shaft yoke fails and as the right rear wheel spins by because the lug bolts fractured you wonder if your seatbelt anchorage or buckles actually will function as desired... Perhaps the airbag will go off, but no the battery cable shorts out just long enough before hand for the capacitors to bleed off the energy needed to fire them just isn't there.

Re: [MBZ] Built Ford Tough
Actually what's humorous about all this is that my cousin was a VP of Ford Canada. I flew into a family event a few years back and had to rent a new (at the time) Ford Tarius Wagon He of course wanted to know how it drove etc, I replied Well I've a Mercedes 300TE should I tell you what I really think? He said no... My side of the family has never bought fords, always a sore point with him since we could have gotten them at way below dealer MSRP. Caddies (until GM destroyed that brand) then benzs.
