So we're Removing Sound Deadening Material from our Mustang. After trying the Dry ice method to no avail we used a heat gun to get the Tar-mat out. Now, how do...
I think you're right-on with the dry ice. You just used it too soon. One of my friends used dry ice and a dead-blow hammer to remove the glue on his car after...
I found that pulling this stuff off during the winter is much easier, so I'm not sure why the dry ice didn't work. In the winter, I just hit the top tar stuff...
to me, it sounds like he already got the tar off and is now trying to get the residue off - perhaps for painting. tar and bug remover works well for that...
Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm doing. Heating it with a heat gun, scraping off what I can then using the chemicals to remove the left overs and the ...
Our method is a little extreme - but it works great. :-) Strip the entire car down to bare metal frame. (Install the cage, SFCs, and all welded metal...

Mine was done in the winter "room temp" (so it was about 50'F). I went at it with putty knife. Then, I used the air hammer with a chisel tip for other parts....

My heater core finally got replaced. I have to say though that the FORD engineers that designed this setup need some re-education and should spend time working...

Geez and here I am gluing in sound deadener material. I bet I have over 100 lbs of dynamat and lead lined foam sound barrier pads in this car. Turns out...
... I recall the tarmat/fiber insulation stuff removed from the car weighing in at 18lbs. Is the extra weight in your setup because of the muffler inside the...
Why do you need to add so much Dynamat? Are you installing a mega wattage stereo? George. ... From: Peterson, Preston [mailto:preston.peterson@...] Sent:...

weight equals slow....... our cars are already tanks....... if you want speed you need to get rid of the fat........
I'm changing cams. The timing gear is stuck. The cam gear doesn't want to separate from the cam, and the crankshaft gear seems really jammed on. This is a Ford...
... It's fairly common. When disassembling cores I use a pair of crowbars, but in that situation I don't care if the gear is destroyed. If some judicious...

Preston, Use a propane torch to heat up the gear around the camshaft. The hole will enlarge enough to get it off without tearing up the gear. I use this method...
