Why would exhaust go out intake manifold new build?
Ford 302 new everything, not bored just honed
Cam phasing wrong, excessive lifter preload, timing is off, extremely lean mixture, very low compression; top rings bent due to twisting onto piston during install; etc.

Tight valves, run a compression test first to be sure or do a leak down test on all cylinders
Loose oscillation adjustment screw, or your cam timing is off
The engine is not timed correctly, like the cam is out of sync
- Which exhaust/exhaust system would work best for my car? I own a 1970 Ford Torino (Brougham) with a 351 Cleveland engine running on stock exhaust. I want to upgrade the exhaust (I'm thinking Flowmaster) but like, does the whole exhaust system need to be done, or like half? I need your help making my baby roar lol. Please give me your best suggestions and approximate cost.
- Vacuum leak between carburetor and intake manifold? I have a 1966 ford f100 with a 390. After taking off the carb to clean it, I noticed a rough idle and fuel leaking from between the carburetor and intake manifold. So I replaced the gasket with a gasket specifically for Holley carburetors, but that didn't stop the leak. Any ideas? Would there be any reason the manifold or bottom of the carb would need to be resurfaced? Is sealant ever used?
- Rubber hose at intake manifold? I have a Ford Contour and need to know what and where the soft rubber hose at the intake manifold is. I just need to know what it is and where I can go buy one. I want to order it and install it as soon as possible. Please don't suggest asking a mechanic or auto store.
- Replacing Exhaust Manifold? I have a 1991 Ford Ranger 2x4 with a 4 cylinder. Would it be worth the money to replace the exhaust manifold for a less restrictive one and hopefully gain a little more HP? Or should I just not even waste the money. Also do you have any other suggestions on how to squeeze a little more juice out of this tiny engine?
