oil pressure conclusion engine is fine, oil pressure is fine. after getting all the input, i put the car back on the charger and despite the fact that it had a battery tender on over the winter it must have had insufficent voltage or? anyway, i cranked up the engine today and it had instant...

thanks again its great to have access to all this experience and knowledge. i am proceeding with diagnosis and expect i will end up with a sender or gauge problem. the car was on a tender during its sleep time. there was the shot of oil pressure indicated on the gauge during the 'no start"...

thanks for all the good advice and i will start with the sending unit, check battery etc. good to have this forum to get advice and benefit of past experience with these great cars.

thank you, however, the belt at the front of the engine is intact and not broken so i do still think the gauge or the sending unit is the issue.

started up the ford gt after a winter rest. i always go thru the procedure used after oil change to turn engine over without starting to get oil pressure before i crank it up when the car has rested for a couple of months. i did not see oil pressure until after three 10 second crankings. on the...

thanks stormcat i will look at getting the gt down here next time. i will also check out the tracks using a porsche as a test vehicle.

my gt is put to bed in michigan as well but i am now in florida for several months. the roads in naples florida are not conducive to spirited driving so i left the baby up north. i also have not been encouraged about much track driving right here as sebring is rather rough and other options do...

the quality of the vents was top notch so i think these braces will also be of the highest quality. we are lucky to have such an innovative supplier of quality parts for our cars. pe2unia just keep them coming....and thanks my vents are terrific.

got mine yesterday, not on the car yet but after close inspection i am really impressed with the quality. These are precision pieces and look better than the originals.

i will be there i will drive up a blue no stripe ford gt on saturday only. it has run the track twice but wont be track ready for exhibition class this weekend.

brake rotors it is customary for race cars in the past to have the cross drilled holes in the rotors cleaned out after a race or qualifying. it is not a problem. there maybe some high tech pads that reduce this but if you get pads hot enough i have always seen this develop but again it is just...

midnight blue sorry jrz, mine is midnight blue and i only ran friday/sat. i did run the car in group 1, which was the race car class to insure not being slowed up by traffic. the ford ran 2:32 or about 6th fastest overall at the event but i was the only car in that group with stock oem tires...

go to roadamerica.com to get info on events and accomodations. chamber of commerce in elkart lake/plymouth wisc. have loads of accomodation options but since the historic races are such a big event advance booking is necessary and i mean soon. ostoff resort in elkart is huge complex with condos...

ive seen wheel torque fluctuations after hard use on the optional wheels. some times the nuts dont really get good bite on the painted wheels so you should check them. as the wheel gets scuffed up after several removals the nuts are likely to hold better.

i cant beleive we are even talking about the possibility of using a valet.

i have two front good years about 1/3rd worn. you can have them.

track report i have not seen any track reports on these tires so i will make one now. at shelby club event at elkhart lake a couple of weeks back i ran a stock ford gt with a pulley on the bridgestone 265/40 zr 18 front and 345/35/zr19s rear. they are excellent tires but i do think there...

brake shims pls. count me in. looks like a good step to insure pedal doesnt go the the floor.

when you are about to have an incident you never brace yourself or you brake bones. you learn this fast in a race car. airbags and harness would have prevented any broken bones. the natural instinct is to brace but that guarantees potential bone brakes or worse. the driver and passenger were...

removal of screens/car crash there was no damage to the rubber seals in the trunk liner. i would not have any concern about things falling into the fan blades on the track but do replace the screens when i drive and park the car in public places off track but realistically there is little...
