My 2015 Mkz is making a strange noise. When starting the car it makes a noise like something broke loose but then settles down.
If I rev the motor upon releasing the throttle there is a loud whirring sound.
Sounds like it is under the valve cover but hard to locate
It idles fine
it drives and accelerates fine|
No DTC codes or check engine light
I will try to use a recorder on my phone to post it.
I've actually never built one until now. Apparently the head of Revell at the time wanted to do a full detail kit of a factory stock VII but the bean counters shot him down. He compromised by convincing them to do a variation on an existing kit (the Matt and Debbie Hay Pro Street Thunderbird) and that's ultimately how we got what we got.
One from a while back. AMT 1965 Continental with some 3D printed wheels and supercharged DOHC modular V8. I'm currently working on the Mark VII pro Street kit that's currently reissued.
Been a while but...
My 2010 is still packed away. My neighbor runs a body shop and he's asking about buying it as a loaner car. He might get it yet.🤣
My other neighbor has a 2017 MKZ with a 2.0 turbo and she's looking at something a little newer. Trouble is, her sister has a 2020 model with the same engine, and it's in the shop for an engine replacement. Granted, hers is under warranty but that doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the 2.0 turbo.
I do have the local dealer on the lookout for a 2017-2020 Continental, so far haven't heard from him yet. It's funny, last year they'd have at least a couple on the lot but now all they have are trucks and crossovers. I wouldn't object to a similar vintage MKZ, obviously, maybe without the 2.0, but driving the Townie these last few months has really reminded me how much I always liked the full size cars.
What I'm saying is... I still haven't really made up my damned mind. 😂
Rear is easy, I put the jack under the spring of the rear control arm. My low profile floor jacks have polyurethane pads.
I also have Steeda jacking rails for the front. Wish they extended further forward, but they do the job.
Recently I picked up an Eastwood Detachable Car Ramp Set for oil changes and it works great for that!
