Dont matter now So start the car ..... Let it idle .... Check the noise against rpm if it goes up and down with rpm ..... your best part phucked If it goes away with rpm but back at idle , your still up a creek with flex plate but not as costly Next time , cause I see it being a next time do at least 5000kms on a new donk Why do u think they ( tuners ) give a run in tune to a new build customer ? Bearings need to bed in hence the mineral oil put into the donk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With any luck I might be able to get some of it under warranty... Edited 23/10/12 07:34 AM by RHR Quote removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a gt break a tailshaft the other day and they sent a SOC out for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped6 Donating Members 246 Member For: 13y 4m 24d Gender: Male Posted 22/10/12 11:18 AM Author Share Posted 22/10/12 11:18 AM ah well. I will call my local ford joint and find out what I should do. I know I cant afford a new engine, not sure what a flex plate is worth installed. I'm guessing there's no point throwing a standard one back in it though.

Had an fg n/a ute with a bottom end knock, growler and full exhaust with spotless service history, told ford about mods, new engine no questions asked.Right now I have an fg xr6 ute all the berings are roooooted number 4 is almost non existent, customer always went over services by 5k and upto 15k on one service, ford said get stuffed. Customer threatened legal. Ford said bring it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
