While its apart I figured id give the motor a "quick buff". Going Spool rod/Cp Piston rebuild kit, Valve Springs, Billet oil pump gears,Fg block, new crank, HeadsexTune etc etc.
Yep that's the one, Didn't get a pb and after the first run my car had a loud ticking /tapping noise. Hoping its a flex plate and not a rod. Find out tomorrow after a comp test.
my old mans got 3-6 months with brain cancer, already had a massive tumor removed last boxing day. he disowned me when I was 16 but I saw him on xmas day for the first time in 11 years...... believe it or not he was still having a crack at me!!
when nizpro were building their ba xr6t in performance ford mag, they purchased and f6 motor, fully stripped it and rebuilt it to exact tolerances... and classified that as "un-opened." valve springs, that's it imho.
