How did you smooth the crank? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92641-not-qik-fg-xr6t-manual-ute/page/8/#findComment-1625616 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The material has only been removed from the crank and no high bits were left.

There is very little chance it wont loosen again. Realistically the crank needs machining or replacing.

That is why I'm going to pull the gearbox back off after a short time and check it all again. Unless there is a way to machine a crank on the car!!

Do you really want to be pulling the gearbox out and the clutch off all the time?

I think it's easier to pull the gearbox off 20 times than it is to pull a crank out of a motor Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92641-not-qik-fg-xr6t-manual-ute/page/8/#findComment-1625621 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crank is definitely not a throwaway item, it can be repaired, but doing it while in the car is tricky without the right tool. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92641-not-qik-fg-xr6t-manual-ute/page/8/#findComment-1625623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
