DefEddie Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 This might be a dumb question,but.. Is there a separate factory service manual for the Mclaren engines? I'm the Shelby certified tech at our Ford dealer and I don't get hard copies of a GT500 powertrain manual from Shelby. (Though I do get a hardcopy of the SVT Ford GT). I of course have all the online access,but I don't think a hardcopy is even made. I have no idea if the info I need is in the factory service manual or a supplement? etc..? I need to get the bearing clearances etc.. for it and i'm thinking they might be a bit different than stock? Anyway,any information on this would help-my other cars i've got FSM's on disk but didn't know what was available for this one. Also,what would happen if I gave Mclaren a call with my sticker number? Would they laugh or could they fax me build or interesting info on my engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfewtrail Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 I have no idea if the info I need is in the factory service manual or a supplement? etc..? I need to get the bearing clearances etc.. for it and i'm thinking they might be a bit different than stock? I don't think there's any difference in bearing clearances for the VIN T(NA) vs VIN V(turbo) engines. There's no mention of it in the service manual and only VIN T clearances are listed for what it's worth. Nobody else has ever mentioned any different clearances in all the years I've been on these boards...and we've discussed "differences" quite a few times.

DefEddie Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Really? I know the performance shops/machine shops I deal with will set up bearing and ring clearances tighter or looser depending on boosted/juiced applications. I kinda just assumed it would be different. I'm buying the manual,so I guess i'll just look it over and do the usual. When in doubt,break out one of smokey yunicks books and start reading.
