Generally not too hard to get the heat shields off. 1st remove the back one, then the front one and bend it slightly. Can bend it back when reinstalling it and it's not noticeable. Lower manifold Bolts are hard to get to though I used my mechanics hoist to get to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rang ford australia and was told the same thing, also nsw hwp use it in ther turbos well the one the other week did that I was filling up beside him.

Can anyone explain it?the short of it, the fuel is burnt normally, however because the engine gets so hot and is under intense pressure the after gases explode as well causing a pinging/backfiring noise. Basically can cause broken bits in your internals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
