Adam Here since the start...

It came out (luckily) on the next oil change.There is a bit of work to do to change them over.I got my springs for free and we fitted them for 3 slabs... Doesn't get much cheaper than that!

ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 17y 3m 29d Posted 01/02/08 03:59 AM Share Posted 01/02/08 03:59 AM I charged my mate $300 to fit his springs in his 03 xr6t. MK2 bas up are a bit more of a pain as they dont use gaskets they use sealant on the timing cover.Takes a bit of time to clean and re seal timing cover as apposed to replacing gaskets. I reckon you could probably do them without removing timing cover and cams but that's the way I do them. Back 2 springs are the hardest and they get easier as you start making your way to the front. Havent dropped a collet but if it goes into the sump it cant really go anywhere.

BFHOON Donating Members 1,932 Member For: 19y 2m 6d Gender: Male Location: nsw Posted 01/02/08 09:46 AM Share Posted 01/02/08 09:46 AM is it hard to remove the timing cover in the process of fitting v`springs.the reason I ask is because im getting springs fitted soon and have a leaking timing case.I have heard that the sump needs to come off so that means the xmember and other parts associated with this.if its just a case of splitting it and cleaning off the goo and replacing it I will get them to do the leak at the same time. but if the sump has to come off I will wait till I get my bottom end done.

I thought the BF springs were good. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/41945-fitting-of-valve-springs/page/2/#findComment-628757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
