well what turned into just a head gasket replacement has turned into a Bottom end needed a rebuild... in the ba the block needs to be decked and theres a tad bit of play in the pistens so I have been thinking about re doing the bottom end as its only a BA bottom end.. what will I need to do this... what are people putting in theres..what sould I get the bores taken out too I dont wanna have to retune the car what head gasket sould I put in ... sould I have the crank replaced or cleaned up.... I will be going more power so I wanna know this bottem will hold how bi the heads been recoed already and has atomic valve springs on it.... sorry to sound a bit stupid but iv never done this before

about 1500

yep TK done Confermed it Head gasket Gone! getting fixed as we speak...

ok some more info I have found... the cooling systems get a hell of a lot of pressure in the system to the point the hoses are Hard as rocks.. the cap has milkshake on it but the rest of the oil is fine took the thermosat out and ran it made no change...

ok thanks for that ill look into it thanks for the help

so the S1BF Typhoon motor will do the job...then..

ok guys as some will know my BA motor Got a Bad case of Milkshake and now im chnageing the motor out for a typhoon block (stronger bottem end) can someone please tell me if the motors are all the same as im looking at a S1 BF Typhoon motor... only ask because I know BFMK2 Turbo motors are ment to be better but dont know about typhoons

well I think its a head gasket now as the cap has started to get milky..... anyone got any ideas on the cost to get it replaced....

im running a cooler stat already .... fitted by pitlane...

whats the TK check... but the wired thing is the car drives without a issuse no loss of power nothing... wouldent it be a give away if it had a check or a blown head gasket.. theres no water or anything comeing out the exhaust its idels fine .. I just dont know

ok guys I cannot for the life of me work out whats wrong..... I had the top radiator hose chnaged the other day because of a leaking issuse witch is now sorted..... Steps I take to fill the system I run the car for about 20 min on idle with the cap off and massargeing the top pipe to help with removeing air.. as I top the system up (no heater on as no Heater core connected) once that's done that I top the system up and drive it around The temp sits just a little bit over a quater witch is fine but when I stop the car after a 20 min drive to work and I pop the bonnet and have a look at the level its droped from the max to the low mark and theres coolent all over the Bay from the cap... and you can see its boiled the coolent.... out I have chnaged the Cap with another Gen Ford cap and its still doing it .. what am I doing wrong or whats wrong....
