Wouldn't mind having a good catch up with you about this whole debarkle.I got my car from clarkson and I still have some outstanding issues.I second the suggestion about taking the opportunity to rebuold your current motor.Far out Aaron, how come you have so many motors laying arround?

Will likely be selling the ute after it is returned to make way for a new project, XC ute burnout car will keep the engine a mystery for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without saying too much it turns out that the first engine they installed failed on start up and had to be returned and disassembled only to find out that there was metal fragments found under the intake valves! After such an ordeal I have now decided to sell the ute and will never buy a new ford again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
