I might stop stressing now ←mate you can purchase an F6 short motor for 2500, Gaskets 200 R & R shouldnt be more then 800 ←Very interesting. A mate of mine rang Ford in September and was told there is only one bottom end replacement available, part number -BA 6009CThis is the number for replacement bottom end on a BA, and there was no other listing for the BF at this stage. I wonder what components would be in that then?Interestingly enought, FPV were using the same part number for the Phoon short motor? Does this sound right? The XR6T bottom end and the Phoon Bottom end were both the exact same price, so im presuming that BA 6009C would have the stronger rods, right??Doesnt quite make sence that Ford would build 2 different replacement bottom ends, one for the 6T and another for the Typhoon?

I still can't understand why there are 300+ rwkw going strong on the standard rods for years, yet they can let go at a relatively low power level? Makes me almost want to rebuild mine now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always laugh at the guys that say " it never detonated, I never heard any noise" blah blah blah... the majority of turbo motors with these dodgy generic tunes are on the edge of detonation, alot are detonating but it can't be heard due to the noise of the road, stereo, exhaust... why else would serious tuners use headphones to monitor detonation?? Why are guys running around with 300plus wkws on stock motors without any dramas? TUNING, good fuel, low intake air temps ( big intercoolers, the stock one is asking for trouble ) and...
