I would agree however it is plain to see in the Ford book that they will not cover anything. That in no way says Reg will not do something. Just pointing out Ford's warranty on catalog parts as shown.

Not real sure Ford Racing has a warranty on parts sold from the Racing catalog. Let me dig up my book and see what it says.

The block should have been check by the machine shop before and after boring. It would seem to me that the fault falls to the builder and machine shop.

It should have a slight down angle when the car is flat to the ground. If the pinion angle is off it can cause a problem but I have not heard one hum because of that.

Sounds like it could be the front bearing in the trans or a gear hum from to much play in the gear box. What type of gear oil do you have in it?

Why not just re-ring it and install a crank kit and a few new rods? Sounds like you had low oil pressure due to damage at some time that opened up the rod clearence. As long as the mains did not spin...

Sorry one more question. Does it do it in every gear?

How hard are you pushing the clutch before the noise goes away? Are you just touching it so the throwout bearing makes contact or pushing it to the floor?

Sounds like he used a cheap paint. Try lacquer thinner on a rag and see if it will wipe off. My bet is it will.

Will it hum with the car out of gear in the driveway or will it hum when you push in the clutch at the speed when you hear it? Does it matter what gear you are in? Are you sure it is not the tires?

If it is to lean it will cause a miss. Not enough fuel in the intake will give a cylinder or two a very lean shot of fuel and you will see it as less power on one cylinder i.e. a miss.

The easy way to tell if you do not have enough volume is the car will tend to die out with a long blast on the gas. If the pump can not keep up the engine will fade away as it starves for fuel.

It would seem to me that mounting the seat in such a way that it could not move in an accident would be a safety issue as well as just plan smart.

If the yoke showed signs of being burned it was more likely due to a bushing being installed wrong. If it gets off center and causes a bind it will burn the yoke no matter how much oil it...

You have a spare if you just rebuild it. Spend a little time to clean up and rebuild the old one. Even if yo do not use it any time soon it would still be nice to know you have it just in case.
