[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]Engine build up begins now!
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]First the[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]factory lifter spider is removed as well as the lifter keepers, followed by the lifters and the stock cam.
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]Keep everything properly numbered orientated, etc.
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]Now I will bring each cylinder piston to the top and using a valve spring compressor remove each spring, keeper[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]and spring retainers. With the piston at the top the valves cannot fall into the engine
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]And now I get to CLEAN CLEAN the engine block, all mounting surfaces and parts.
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]As each part is installed onto the engine all threads and hardware will be chased with the proper tap[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif] or dye.
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]Finally we get to start installing new parts!!!
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]This COMP cam (XE264HR) is PERFECT for the explorer engine in a Ranger, the cam profile is emissions[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif] friendly while still making all of the torque down [font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]low and provides that nice throaty 302 cobra exhaust note we all know and love
