Mustangman570 Member 74 Member For: 11y 3m 14d Posted 29/06/18 01:29 PM Author Share Posted 29/06/18 01:29 PM Yes they are. I had 7 of them imported. I plan on keeping 2 and selling the other 5. My last resort is to pull the head off and check the pistons, I was hoping for an external indicator. Is there a way of telling from the bottom? I have heard the turbo motor has piston oil squirters, can anyone confirm this? I would rather pull the oil pan than the head. I'm mainly trying to decide which 2 motors to keep. If this turns out to be a turbo motor I can sell for a little more. Use that profit to purchase better rods and pistons for the 2 motors I am keeping.

Those exhaust manifold bolts are not the correct ones. That motor appears to be a turbo engine. The N/A exhaust manifold may have been installed for transport.

You can see the turbo filter has been removed ( hole in block). That is where the oil pressure comes from (has sensor). The sensor in front of that is oil temp. The sensor above is knock sensor. If it has another one at the rear of the engine its BF if only one its a BA. My opinion it is a turbo motor. If it didnt have a turbo oil line , the oil pressure sensor would be still in the block.. Also note the black/white one way valve in the PCV valve hose. Only turbo has that.. Edited 29/06/18 03:32 PM by arronm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inlet manifold has no broadband stuff which is also turbo only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm putting one of these motors in my Foxbody Mustang, one in my brothers Jeep Wrangler and one in my F150. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
