i remember when the fiesta STs came out, i was one of the first people to drive one here at the dealer, that little car was so much fun to drive, even more so than the focus ST

 

Yep, bought it when I sold the F-250 plow truck in 2016

 

Toro makes some fine equipment!

Seems like someone, maybe CO?, was looking for a good cheap socket set. HF has these on sale right now for 35 dollars. It's a really decent kit, and it's lifetime.

 

Yeah, I was looking for something else, perhaps a BRZ or FRS but I read good things about it and figured I'd test drive it just to cross it off my list. One drive and I was hooked. This car is more fun than anything else I have driven and still gets 30+mpg. Very happy with it.

 

This is definitely an interesting symptom/fix to put in your bag of tricks.

 

I thought he was one of the 3 valve haters.
He seems to use the word "defect" and "Fault" and sometimes even "deficient" alot in his other 3 valve videos.
But here he says they are OK if kept up on maint. (which is the correct answer)

 

You know this is an F150 forum right? 3 posts, No F150 and your first post is of some random car.

 

I'm pretty well covered for sockets, already, but thanks for the thought.

 

The biggest downfall of the 3V is not enough oil pressure. I've put the M360 in both of the 3V's that I did a timing job on.

EDIT: This was the second one that I did back in 2019.

 

One of my daughters wants a truck for around her house.
I won't let my kids have or drive the 97 because of the poor crash worthiness.
Must be 2004 or newer.
I told her that she doesn't want a 3 valve because if they weren't kept up you could be buying a problem truck.

Now they just borrow my newer truck.

I have shown them all about the IIHS crash videos and now they look cars up before buying them.
I would rather they get a 2004 chevy than my 97.
