After 4 5ohs thought I would try something different(SVO) unbelieveable how much lighter the svo is than the 5liter, Ford would have sold a ton of them if the did'nt try to rape people on the price.

Alright changed the clutch pack in the rear end, much mo' better. Was the white SVO an eighth or a 1/4 mile.

Go to SVOCA.com and type in "valve seal replacement" in the "Search" and you should come up with some good how-to suggestions. I haven't done it myself, tho I have one exhaust seal on my 67k mile 86 SVO that every once in a while lets off a short start-up blue "fart!"

Thanks. Valve seals next week. Dealing with the cooling fan relay, understand it's a fairly common problem.

Haven't done a fan relay either. The same SVOCA site can help with
that problem as well.
