Well after work today i had a few hours off so i did a bit of work on the El falcon.
1) Firstly removed the belt tensioner arm and installed a new lower pulley($25 Ford) because the old one was shot and noisy. I can now here the injectors pulsing again. Easy to identify a noisy pulley by using some garden hose and putting one end in ya ear and the other probing each pulley (old school trick). pic of old tensioner pulley included. 2) Installed my simota intake from online performance auto's, that turned up on wednesday. It comes with a 90mm throat simota oiled pod, bracket and alloy 90mm-75mm pipe. pic included. cheers.................. |

what noise did the old lower pully make?
Nice work with the intake. I bet you have a much louder intake noise

The pulley made a loud whizzing noise. More noticable as you accelerated or backed off the revs. Was the only noise you could hear from the engine bay.
