eff xr6t Member 569 Member For: 11y 8m 28d Posted 26/04/15 01:03 PM Share Posted 26/04/15 01:03 PM If you seen the sight of the inside of my motor that's making 400rwkw gunna you would probably be wondering how it even runs haha. Had 350000kms on it before I bolted it together and stuck it in my car. Has a ring lip on most cylinders and the odd score mark everywhere plus all the oil was almost like Grease on some parts of it. I just cleaned most of it off bolted it together did a comp test and check it had good oil pressure then through on the Dyno and leant on it hard. It's now done a year of powercruise and Gazzanats, drag racing probably destroyed 30-40 rear tyres on it smashing it off the limiter on the burnout pad and just comp tested it again the other week hasn't even lost 5psi on any of the cylinders. Plus the fact I taught myself how to tune on it so it's never had a very good life but its get no oil in the catch can and runs smooth as. Don't get super concerned over the little stuff mate it will work. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88472-fg-cams-beware-of-wear/page/38/#findComment-1541771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
