PookeyMaster Donating Members 1,531 Member For: 14y 3m 29d Gender: Male Location: Parramatta, NSW Posted 19/10/12 12:54 PM Share Posted 19/10/12 12:54 PM Sounds like this is really the major weak point of FG's. At least Valve Springs fail slowly. How hard is it to stick an F6/F6E cluster into a normal XR/G6? I let mine warm to normal on the coolant gauge (a little below half way) and let it sit there before I give it any. In Winter, it has taken 12km/20mins to get there and when I was stopped at the lights, the coolant temp actually dropped...Would be good if we can transplant the F6 cluster in with the oil pressure gauge. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82178-to-oil-pump-gears-or-not-to-oil-pump-gearsthat-is-the-question/page/10/#findComment-1311631 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp is still better than nothing. Do you know whether its possible to buy the cluster from Ford or is it restricted like other FPV parts? 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82178-to-oil-pump-gears-or-not-to-oil-pump-gearsthat-is-the-question/page/10/#findComment-1311644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
