FPVF6355 Member 128 Member For: 14y 1m 11d Posted 28/12/11 05:53 AM Author Share Posted 28/12/11 05:53 AM I'm just pissed, see how I feel when it's going again.Got the head off, not too bad, but what a bitch to get off.Anyway all inlets are bent, slight dents on the pistons, but no bent rods.Massive carbon build up, which is a good sign of running way too rich. (carbon is very loose comes off easy, so it's recent)Tensioner is in perfect nick.Valves are cheap $360 for a full set of in and out.Ford said they can flash it back to factory specs. (Not the first time they've seen this apparently) big injectors on a rich tune, and higher boost, is typical reason they said.Anyone want to sell a full set of stock injectors for a BA11 F6 ? or swap for a flow matched set of 60lb seimens ?

Sounds like a bit of a hack job running it way too rich to be safe as they didn't know what they were doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will even run without a tune (temporary) and most tuners can tune them easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was common knowledge by now but obviously not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a bit of a hack job running it way too rich to be safe as they didn't know what they were doing.I won't name them, until I'm 100% sure that's the issue.When they tuned it, they did say they needed more fuel, not less and 288 was the most I could get from the stock fule pump.It is possible something else was wrong like the fuel reg, after the tune, so to be fair, until I know for sure, the blame is on me for pushing limits on a car with 150,000 clicks on it.

So a stock boss 290 might be a nice change for an old fart, who couldn't be bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
