And do you red line in much... looks like its had some serious redline action combined with detonation. Grab a F6 motor if your gonna keep it or just put a wreckers NA motor in, stick the red rocker cover on it and trade her in... dodgy but who cares when your trading in Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/29741-bottom-end-gave-up-at-248rwkw/page/2/#findComment-456772 Share on other sites More sharing options...
