I've heard its pretty common...Does anyone knoe if BF's have this same inherent problem as the BA's???(And coz I dont want to start a new thread for one small question - can anyone tell me after what month, the BF MKI's had the stronger F6 bottom end? I'm looking at a 2006 one atm and I wanted to know if it had the stronger engine...I'm unsure of the production date atm...Thanks!!)Thanks for the input everyone,Dan Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/47735-do-bfs-have-the-same-problems-as-bas/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for engine oil coolers that use coolant.
