All the good stuff going on. Going to try leave the turbo manifold and everything in place possibly held back by some rope and its pretty much inlet manifold out of the way, cams and head off. Might run some cheapo oil through it for 15 minutes and aim to get rid of as much crap as possible.

Is there evidence on the gasket where it leaked or have you found a crack in the head? Is there something else that has failed like an oil cooler? 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95394-my-long-term-tidy-up/page/54/#findComment-1703708 Share on other sites More sharing options...
violetpop Silver Donating Members 436 Member For: 5y 4m 14d Posted 01/04/21 10:47 AM Author Share Posted 01/04/21 10:47 AM Yet to get the head off to check.. A crack in the head was my gut feeling. All I could see was water coming into number 5 and a miss. When I last checked the oil, it was still gold. The short drive here and I checked it again and it was milky. No oil cooler on this engine so a close look at the head and gasket when it comes out. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95394-my-long-term-tidy-up/page/54/#findComment-1703710 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pull the engine and get it on a stand, it’s faster & easier mate but that’s fisted ! 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95394-my-long-term-tidy-up/page/54/#findComment-1703712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
violetpop Silver Donating Members 436 Member For: 5y 4m 14d Posted 01/04/21 11:16 AM Author Share Posted 01/04/21 11:16 AM You're right about getting the engine out because I also need to look at the trans leak but time is limited and this is the best option for me atm.. Still a hoist is better than straight up floor work.

violetpop Silver Donating Members 436 Member For: 5y 4m 14d Posted 01/04/21 09:18 PM Author Share Posted 01/04/21 09:18 PM Good morning everyone! Early start and whipped the head off. Nothing overly obvious from what I can see unless I'm missing something. Going to clean up the head and check if its straight next up.
