Or do you just mean the difficulty in removing the bolts and studs on the intake manifold (I know that's normal )?

I know you have had all this bad luck and to tell you the truth, my life is like that.Just hang in there and get it done slowly. There is no rush at all unless it is your daily driver.Once you finally get it running the way it should be, it WILL make you SMILE fro ear to ear.You will never want another car, just ask bomber (unless you can afford an R35)Stop what ever you are doing with the car, step back and take a breather for a week or two and don't think about the car.DONT let it consume you life right now.Have a break and when you come back to it in a couple of weeks, sort it out. I really have my fingers crossed for when this guy comes out to look at the engine, that he will give you the green light.When I pass away at an old age and I finnaly meet MURPHY, I think I am gonna beat the living sh*t out of him.the *beep*. 3 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90247-am-i-gunna-get-there/page/23/#findComment-1541523 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummm I can neither confirm nor deny if this is in fact a part of the design or a genuine crackBut I would lean towards design ( sorry I can't remember the fg inlet currently) Honestly this is not over yet and is not by far a lemon Do a comp test and report findings 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90247-am-i-gunna-get-there/page/23/#findComment-1541567 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FG threads are different which eliminates most of the coming loose issues 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90247-am-i-gunna-get-there/page/23/#findComment-1541580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
