'01 F4i owner in northeastern PA
Long time reader, first time poster here. My ride is a silver 2001 F4i that I picked up in California in spring 2009, and I first wanted to thank everyone at this site for all the helpful posts and amazing how-to's. You guys are awesome!!
Last September I literally screwed my engine (a screw mischievously found its way into my 1st cylinder intake ) and I just got around to buying and installing a used engine from a forum member last week.
busted 1st cylinder w/ screw head:
I suspended the bike and dropped it into place on the new one:
Luckily I had no suprises wiring up a 49-state model engine to my CA harness (I didn't re-install the carbon canister, and my O2 sensor has the 10ohm resistor mod after throwing a code a while back). Boy what a relief when it started and revv'ed fine!
I just wanted to introduce myself so I can hopefully contribute back to the group that has taught me everything about fixing my bike -- thank you!

Thanks, I'm happy to contribute back to the forum now that I've learned a thing or two about wrenching on here .
and the car is a '79 mustang shell. My uncle has had it in "storage" like this for the past two years:

Not sure what he's doing with it, but from the looks of it, sure looks like Murphy's law probably got the better of him too!
