I usually get bored and lose interest in the topic.Cars are a little different so that's why I think it's stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made 307rwkw and just after 5k rpm dropped to 276rwkw.... valve springs failing. Simon seems to think ford put the FG valve springs in my new engine rather than the BF ones.

I usually get bored and lose interest in the topic.Cars are a little different so that's why I think it's stuck.yeah, ive wandered through a few... inthemix, club4ag, xr6t, fordforums, and many others... think most others have been more of a "I need info so I join till I get it" type of thing, where as this one seems to have some ppl worth talking to... im actually suprised how many ppl here stick around even after they dont have a XR6T.... Dean, Stef, Adrian etc...Finally got around to getting the car back on the dyno.. Made 307rwkw and just after 5k rpm dropped to 276rwkw.... valve springs failing.
