Thought they run the better plugs with the thin electrode .still not happy that there was no engine asembely lube on the camshafts or rocker gear. I never got one single reply from anyone about that what they thought of it .

This is done on the veryron engine during assembly for example. I find it very hard to belive tbre wouldnt use assembly lube... 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88393-327-rwkw-760nm-xt-one-tonne-ute-was-a-v8/page/60/#findComment-1578831 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta be honest, it seems like each time you pay for a service you go looking for faults. 8 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88393-327-rwkw-760nm-xt-one-tonne-ute-was-a-v8/page/60/#findComment-1578838 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta be honest, it seems like each time you pay for a service you go looking for faults. Expand If he would have got the rocker cover powdercoated as asked and the 8 na fittings changed to 10 na I would have never pulled the rocker cover off .so he never did what I asked for in the end .and that is what f*cks me of as I pay my bills .I do not look for them but keep finding them .I knew this would start a war again ,no one does what I ask for .is that so hard to do for people to follow requests .to me it showes they do not care Well getting back to how much asembely lube should be there .I belive the whole lot as if you assemble the bottom end first and then fit the head and cams there is no reason to turn the engine over .well tell me I am wrong ?

HI PSI Member 1,589 Member For: 19y 1m 4d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 07/02/16 07:34 AM Share Posted 07/02/16 07:34 AM (edited) We used Moreys as assembly lube when we assembled my engine. We put it on on all components (Except for pistons and rings). all the rockers and lifters were soaked in oil for 24 hrs I would rather this, than have dry bearings and components running dry, when cranking for oil pressure, as it sometimes takes a bit to get oil pressure. We grew concerned when cranking my engine, as my gauge wasn't showing pressure. We ended up hooking the turbo oil feed to the vacuum on another car, to draw it through. Personally, I don't blame you. I believe that it is best practice to lube everything on a new engine. FYI, ensure that you remove all plugs when cranking for oil pressure...
