I'm really starting to worry these days If I were you, depending on the cost to bodge fix it... do that and trade.. unless you want to have a crazy motor!Out of interest, what afrs etc was the car tuned to?? do you know why it happened?? do you drive the car hard?

Posted 30/10/06 06:53 AM Share Posted 30/10/06 06:53 AM I have seen this before if the sump is cracked the windage tray inside would be stuffed also possibly the crank.So you will need more than just the bottom end but depending on what you want either the f6 bottom end but it has it's limits too or a full billet and forged piston bottom end if you want to go cazy would be the way to go.Sorry to hear but this what I have been saying for awhile that it will happen no matter what power you have.Ian Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/29741-bottom-end-gave-up-at-248rwkw/#findComment-456751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
