Just checked mine. They are perfect so going to continue to run them.

Anyone know roughly the HP limitations of the stock main bearings? I just recently tore my engine down and was thinking that I should upgrade the mains to King Race Black series like I run in my rods. I'm about the 400 whp mark but if guys are still running the stock bearings with no dramas I...

Will do mate. I have to keep the stock block for now as Ford Australia are refusing to ship me a new TS block from the USA, they only import short blocks and are not interested. Just need some gaskets and waiting on the other parts. I'm going to rering the Manley pistons as well because I was...

I've ordered the 625+custom age head studs and Supertech valve spring kit. After some more research the head stud kit I originally put in was ARP part number 151-4301 The instructions say to put the head studs into the block dry and snugged with no...

Looks like both number 3 intake side head stubs have wound themselves out. Sticking out more than the others when I put a flat piece of MDF across the top of them. Checked them and they were loose. Only thing I can think of is that there was something blocking the threads when I installed...

If anyone can recommend which upgraded valve springs and head studs to go to with part numbers it would be much appreciated too:thumbsup:. Bores are all good and Manley Extreme pistons are holding up well.

Agreed. I will definetly be upgrading them. Here's the results. What do you guys reckon?

Cheers. What are the ARP 2000 boost limits for info?

Been running around 27 PSI on E30 for around 2 years since this build and driven hard. Stock turbo with a turbosmart wastegate - boost curves are fine. ETC throttle openings and torque control are set by my tuner. Pretty sure the ETC angle is wide open from 4800 RPM.

Yep ARP 2000 on mine. I think you are right that the head has possibly lifted. Looks like I'll be buying some custom age studs. Gotta loive the money pit. I'll post some pics when I get it out. Hopefully this weekend.

Hey guys After 25000 kms on my built motor I have coolant leaking into Cyl #3. Will be tearing it down next week and buy a 2.0 Fusion/Mondeo(in Aus) block. Has anyone had a MLS gasket fail? Mine was a Supertech one. It's possible I have a cracked head as it was making some power but I'm...

Hey all I recently got a new long block due to a cracked No.2 piston. I've decided to beef up the bottom end of this new 2019 engine (for my 2017 EB) and I need a shopping list of parts. I'm thinking Manly pistons and rods maybe, a racing head gasket and good head bolts. Can anyone recommend...

Went to the strip for a street test n tune tonight. Trapped 111.4, 110.8 and 109 in that order. They call them Pzero's because they literally do have zero traction. Mine is an auto and I was spinning through first second and part of third. The track may as well have been covered in ice. I...

I don't think Ford is obligated to do anything at all if they don't feel like it even if it costs them market share however they have increased the peak power output on the 18s as far as I am aware with the overboost feature. For this reason alone I was asking if anyone knows if the block has...

That's what I was asking. If the block has been strengthened in any way.

Do you know if they have changed the block design of the 18s? I'm starting to push the power on mine with E30 so was looking at options.

Really interesting video in regards to our 2.3 block. The video shows the weak points in the block. Worth a look but be warned not very confidence inspiring for modded motors...

I personally wouldn't bother with the DV+ if you have an auto. Get the Turbosmart WG and an E30 tune and call it a day. Melbourne temps so I wouldn't bother with a larger intercooler the Mishi will be fine.

I can also confirm that my 2017 has the same -BA part number.

Still waiting to see that dyno sheet bro....unless I missed it? Your timeslip was quick though.
