To all owners of duratec 2.5L mad

If you havent changed your water pump yet you should seriously think about getting it replace with an all steel one ASAP. eek

Mine just gave up at 53,000 kilometers. The pump and some other parts have been changed. The engine now feels like it has 100,000 more k on it. mad My extended waranty is expiring next august 28. mad

Don't know what to do yet but it looks like I'm going to arm wrestle with Ford.

I just love my car and especialy the engine. But now I'm puzzeled and don't know were to start.

Both in April Ford Countour SE
5MTX 1996/27kilo.
I intend to by a set of MSDS headers with some good low rumbling tone like at South County Motor. I having the upper intake extruded &honed. Change TB with SVT.
By a Pro-Flow 75 maf. Diablo chip on Top. IF and only if I'm happy with the results. A Quaifle T/b diff. IF my Girlfriend can still stand my driving (she does not drive) a New Radiator (the one that pushes 11 PSI into the intake manifold) I think that this engine would be proud to put 300hp on the asphalt.
