I deposited the money directly into his account as he had no paypall. just not happy why the carbon on the pistons has flacked off on some spots ?

Sounds like your winding your self up a bit and all our opinions (myself included) can send your head all over the shopJust wait until the engine builder with a good set of eyes and good engine knowledge has a look at it Don't stress to much your doing a full rebuild anyways 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88472-fg-cams-beware-of-wear/page/37/#findComment-1541763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
