M10 is apart

[Smelser]

First, I am still having some issues loading pics, but I will when I get away from dial-up internet (yes it is still around, just like the Pinto)
Less money on internet means more cash to the race car


I have the engine out and almost apart.

The ICV and fuel cold start is coming off and being capped.
The Valve cover breather (pcv) and the coolant lines to my intake are being capped.
The valve breather will either go to PAN EVAC system or just to a breather on the firewall

Question- having to stay realitivily stock, I want to put a full set of fresh gaskets in before the season starts, what should I be looking at for excessive wear?? does the head need to be resurfaced??

AND PLEASE what can I do with that HUGE box of a Mass air flow sensor and do to open up the intake hose a bit???? it looks so tiny.

What are the three coolant sensors on the housing by the head all for??

please help me kick some Ford butt this year
Thanks

Coolant sensors:
White one, bosch clip closest to firewall is the ECU's coolant sensor
purple with bosch clip I believe is the diagnostic port sensor
and the last one that just has the spade terminal connectors I believe is the gauge cluster sender.


The only one I am 100% sure of is the white one. I have the ohm readings at 32F, 212F and 68F if you need those as well.

[Hey_You]

Only thing smaller than the intake elbow is the throttle body...have you taken it off and laughed at it yet?

it hasnt come off, but I did see it and laugh yea, its kinda a bottle neck design at best.

Thanks Jaxx, that helps HUGE man, appreciate it!!
