    FOUR MOST COMMON MARAUDER HVAC PROBLEMS

    Good summary, thanks! My blower control module went bad a few years back, replaced it with a ford BCM, and it just happened again. I want to re-solder it so it lasts this time. I thought I remembered a post about how, or a post where someone was offering to do the fix. Can't find it...

    Ticking, beyond the everyday valve noise

    Neither actually. The overheat was on the first startup. Dumped a bunch of water+coolant straight into the tubes immediately, then drove it without incident for two weeks.

    Ticking, beyond the everyday valve noise

    So I saw at least one other thread on this noise and it ended up being a spun bearing so that's a priority on my inspections. (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=87251) I did order a mechanic's stethoscope to try and isolate the noise first, though. Other info: I just...

    Is it likely that my motor is done? (timing chain issue)

    Running Again Well, thanks for the advice all. She drove loud and strong for a few weeks. Looks like I didn't take any pics or vids :-/. Unfortunately just a few nights ago, I got this tapping noise much like MontyD (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=87251). I'll be...

    all new top end and it still ticking!

    Me too That sucks, Monty. I spun a bearing on my original motor, too. I got my current built one from Modular Mustang Racing (no warranty left) and this same noise just started last night. :( At least it sounds the same to me. I guess it's time to buy a beater again while I table the...

    Is it likely that my motor is done? (timing chain issue)

    What does this wear mean? Crankshaft end play is good at .009, tested in 4 different positions with a digital dial indicator. Oil pump was pulled off and is good per a visual inspection. But I just noticed some wear on the metal part of the right upper chain guide. I've looked for what...

    Is it likely that my motor is done? (timing chain issue)

    If the main bearings need to be replaced, wouldnt i have to remove the rods to get the crank out? and so wouldnt I have to remove the rod bolts? Or are you saying they are reusable?

    Is it likely that my motor is done? (timing chain issue)

    Also, it didnt occur to me to remove the oil pump and check it while I had the oil pan off, should I remove the pan/pickup/pump and inspect it? It occured to me that I could get most of the motor together and then crank the motor outside of the car with the starter to actually "look" and see...

    Is it likely that my motor is done? (timing chain issue)

    The only thing that troubles me at this point is I haven't found any real cause of this failure; just some moderate wear on the primary and secondary chain guides. Crank spun just fine when I was inspecting it. A visual inspection of the bottom end didn't turn up anything unusual. However...

    Is it likely that my motor is done? (timing chain issue)

    Yea I agree. Intimidating for a non-mechanic. Luckily I have an experienced roomate who is kind enough to help. We'll both be learning on the timing portion though. Yikes! Thanks for the link, Ozark Marauder!

    Is it likely that my motor is done? (timing chain issue)

    Update - Diagnosed, Halfway Solved So.. My timing chains look great. My timing gear, however not so good since the woodruff key sheared. Also, I learned what a woodruff key is. I pulled the heads off to check the pistons and valves. They definitely smacked each other but the forged pistons...

    Is it likely that my motor is done? (timing chain issue)

    Ok well that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to tow it back home and start tearing it down when it gets a bit warmer.

    Is it likely that my motor is done? (timing chain issue)

    I have a 2003 Mercury marauder with the bottom half of the motor a 5.0 stroker motor bought from modularmustangracing.net. For whatever reason, I was driving and the engine died. I immediately stopped the car, but I have tried cranking it numerous times since then. My friend looked at the...
