How did 4 or 5 ltrs of petrol get into my sump ?????????????The best part is the fault code "System too rich" DDAAAHHHAnyway valves are obviously bent, won't turn over..Lemon 4 sale F6 typhoon 0 rwkw.

Rings and lands knackered, bores washed, detonation etc. Compression test will tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FPVF6355 Member 128 Member For: 13y 10m 23d Posted 22/12/11 07:19 AM Author Share Posted 22/12/11 07:19 AM (edited) I pulled out the plugs, and removed the belt, it locks turning by hand really hard once it got to a cam lift. Are the cams very high lift and hard to turn over with a 2 foot long bar ??I figured it was F***kd so I cranked the car on the starter, spins freely ??Put every thing back on, tried to fire up, just spins with what feels like no compression at all and a back fire.What ever's bent it aint good.It's got a extended warranty, but they always try to get out of those.Covered up to $2500 for engine damage, I recon it will cost alot more for ford to try and fix it. ??so I'm tempted to diagnose myself, I recon it might be cheaper to get it fixed myself if it's just the valves.But If I pull it down and it's totally stuffed, then I've lost $2500 in possible warranty.Wooo HOO.
