  1. Is it the last bolt at the rear of the head. That one always seems to be an issue.
  2. We have no E10 in Perth. I run BP 98 ( refinery 10 mins from my house) or E85. The rest of the fuel is unknown so I dont buy it..
  3. I find its always good to have a bit of shaft play..... Its needs it so it can expand with the friction. BUT be careful, sometimes they explode and that makes a real mess.
  4. Just goes to show a bit of luck involved, given the other guys are so called experts.
  5. More FPV starter button repairs. The new tools I got for the repairs makes it so much easier.
  6. Tell the broke he needs to jack it up to remove the tailshaft.
  7. Looks like same plates. Different car. Was the red one ones by Daniel Otway??
  8. The bloke that owned that car back in the day was "captain underpants" I will find some threads , images and posts. Turbo falcon Car scene in Perth is small.
  9. Both pistons are gravity cast. F6 has no forging. Just a thicker section in areas and a reduced compression. The pin and piston pin region is also different but that is only due to the difference in design of the piston.
  10. True. But doesn't the F6 engine in the FG have better pistons?? Research says yes. Heavier and with reduced compression so Ford could run more boost. Great for 98. Not really better for E85, we're you want a bit more comp. Nizpro do a special higher comp Cosworth piston specially for E85 built engines. That's what we have in the BF F6. That car is going to be mental on E85.
  11. I had a rattle sound on a 6 speed XR 6 N/A I was working on last week. Would happen for a few seconds at about 1300rpm. Once higher it would disappear. After finding a minor amount of oil in the coolant header tank ( slight white sludge at the top) we have concluded the box has milkshaked and the noise is the converter trying to lockup Dead box. To late. Car has done 153k
  12. Automatic ?? Zf 6 speed. ? Does the car hunt (revs vary) when it happens ?
  13. That's good news Jet. Wonder if they have any $2900 F6 shorts left????
  14. *beep*'s, I just had a 1kg rump for dinner. Ikg of mash... The misses had a sausage then I had her rump......
  15. Better built boxes out there other than nizpro. For starters you want a 6R80 input shaft
  16. Stop being a knob and donate $10
  17. Yeh, Nah. 7 years ok , that's a laugh, that's yesterday to me. My car has been turned since early 2007. FG wasnt even on the around..
  18. Unfortunately doweling the crank doesn't always solve the issue....
  19. He has the box out. No need to fill through reverse. 4.5L I use GW syn 10 full syn. Same as for ZF 6 speed.
  20. Lets just splash in some E85 till it gets over 400.....
