It's also easier for any possible issues if the shop has supplied the parts and assembly, not finger pointing or minimal can occur if things go wrong.

johno Donating Members 773 Member For: 14y 7m 8d Gender: Male Location: Mt Gambier, SA Posted 28/12/11 09:10 AM Share Posted 28/12/11 09:10 AM I had a similar head ache when I blew my engine. Get a 2nd hand motor from wreckers, and build up, or as I ended up doing,bought a new F6 engine from Ford. Plenty strong enough for my needs, and everything brand new.You will still need a certain amount of gaskets regardless of which way you go.I had my turbo rebuilt, new radiator, hoses, and belts etc.Not a cheap exercise.

I have no faith at all in them anymore. Realized the only way I'll be happy with a car is starting from scratch, that and the fact I've always wanted to build my own car. Now I think I finally have the knowledge to do so.I'm not one of those bought a car now it's at 500rwkws kind of guys, the journey to get there is what I'm happy to pay for. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78233-engine-builder-melbourne/page/10/#findComment-1174425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
