Z2TT Member 714 Member For: 12y 6m 26d Posted 10/11/13 07:25 AM Share Posted 10/11/13 07:25 AM (edited) I'm wondering is it common for Ford 4L Turbos to skip teeth, and when it happens is it usually only 1/2 Teeth or more?Does this normally not cause any damage but could it cause damage under high revs when all the components are moving extremely fast if the valve may just not retract fast enough ?

Brad guarantees I can bounce it off the limiter all day. Either that or a good sales pitch.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I politely suggested that they need to fix it properly and they said they would get back to me by Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
