Welcome to Mike's garage. In my videos I will be restoring and modifying a 2003 Mach 1 Mustang. These videos can help anyone repair and replace components on their 1996 - 2004 Mustang.

You really do not want to use regular motor oil in air cooled engines. These engines get a lot hotter than vehicle engines and the heat will destroy the oil. They make an all engine oil specifically for them and the heat they produce. With the added zinc and other additives that vehicle oil doesn’t possess
@@MikesGarageRoute66 put some in the tank take it for an Italian tune up about 110 on the highway for a few minutes, and she’s clean!! 🤣🤣🤣 I use 3oz in every tank also..
Just something to throw out there. When boosting a car the lower the compression the more volume there is to cram more boost into it. Bigger volume with the same psi of boost equals bigger longer push on the pistons power stroke
@@user-kv2vu7li8f Very true but higher compression increases the speed of the flame front. Both have plus and minuses but it really depends on the fuel octane. On 93 lower compression and higher boost will put out more horsepower prior to detonation than high compression low boost. On race gas or e85, high compression and high boost will equal more power because octane is no longer the limiting factor. Since I don’t have E85 easily accessible, I went with 9.2:1 compression and 15 psi at 17 degrees with a 11.4:1 afr. When I install my Kenne Bell 2.2 and put out 17psi I’ll back the timing down to 15 at WOT. I try to keep it pretty safe.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with them. I have an 8 too and I love it. 200K on it and engine #3. Still going strong and looking beautiful. I have a 6 speed 2004. She's particular about how you treat her. But when she sings at 9K, there's no other like it. Check out Deal's Gap Rotary to trek through the Tail of the Dragon.
@@MikesGarageRoute66 It's a special car that would make four people fall in love with it. Myself, my wife, the previous owner (we still keep in touch) and the owner before him (who called me wanting it back to race)
@MikesGarageRoute66 bless you I'm sorry to hear that this was a car on my bucket list in fact I'm playing the game where I saw it from now Need for speed most wanted 2005.
I used to own an Rx8. They are so nimble and handle so well. Just replacing the motor every couple years was kinda meh... Apex seals and what not... but at that time it was covered under warranty... Great cars. For sure takes a gearhead to own one of these. You gotta take good care of them. Grats on the car man!
Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Nice car. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible day. Much love and RESPECT
I realize this is an old vid. However, thanks to Proform for omitting operating instructions and leading me to your channel. Thanks for fine tuning my knowledge! Now I can gap my rings with full confidence. I look forward to perusing the rest of your channel.
Good one Mike, that's a head scratch moment, it hard to understand engineers, they don't make any sense sometimes, we had a 80's Audi sedan and the battery was under the back passenger seat, pretty much had to removed the whole seat to get to the battery.
Nice video Mike that is a weird place for a battery I was thinking it was in the driver's side fender that's where my Dodge battery is thanks for sharing
Here's my two cents. Overall some good advice and nothing here is going to hurt but the factory test runs these units (it's why there was oil on the dipstick when he first pulls it) so I see very little benefit to pulling the plug and putting oil in prior to first start. The cylinders already have lubrication from the factory they are not dry.
This video came at the perfect time. I am about to close on a house that has an RV garage. Needless to say I have to put lifts in it. Did you use a local sales, service, install business? Did they come out and measure the concrete with their estimate?
You did a fantastic job on that garage. Yes, whoever ends up with it one day will definitely benefit from all your planning and hard work. Great overview with great points made.
