Promoting proper mating of gear sets without pitting or scuffing, 80W-90 break-in gear oil from Driven Racing Oil enables smoother, longer-lasting gear surfaces. This oil is designed for hypoid and spiral-bevel gear sets like those found in 9” and quick-change rear ends. It is safe to use in gear boxes and differentials and will not harm brass or copper components.

To remove break-in wear metals, drain the 80W-90 break-in gear oil after the normal 500–700 mile break-in cycle is complete. Driven recommends following up with a synthetic gear oil to provide the highest level of ongoing protection and efficiency for the rear gear and transmission.

Features

  • Polishes gear teeth to prevent micro-pitting and enhance gear durability.
  • For hypoid and spiral-bevel gear seats.
  • Safe for gear boxes and differentials.
  • Will not harm copper or brass components.
  • Drain after break-in cycle (500–700 miles).

SA Design (SA352): CarTech’s “Ford FE Engines: How to Rebuild”

David Ayers Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

Manufactured from the late 1950s through the mid-1970s, Ford FE engines served as the large-displacement drivers in the Ford lineup. With the FE standing for “Ford Edsel,” these engines were designed to increase displacement over the earlier Y-Block engines. As the model grew, the FE performed admirably as a heavy passenger car and light truck engine—as well as became quite accomplished in performance circles.

Part of CarTech’s Workbench series, Ford FE Engines: How to Rebuild walks readers through rebuilding these legendary engines, including identification and selection, disassembly, cleaning, parts cleaning and assessment, machine shop processes, selecting replacement parts, reassembly, and start-up/break-in techniques. Author Barry Rabotnick also shares tips such as performance upgrades, trouble spots, and special tools needed—as well as a few of his own professional secrets.
