Is there any truth in the rumour that the BF uses stronger Valve Springs & Con Rods than the BA ?

Yes it is. I think this question came up a few months ago and it was confirmed that it does use stronger engine componets, such as those used by the Phoon's.

I think the T engines in the BF's are now like the ZF gear box. . . Bulletproof!

that's what I heard, all bf xr6 turbo engine exactly like the F6 engine except no oil cooler.

Anyone else who can confirm this from FORD?

As far as I know the BF has a oil cooler.

My 06 BF does not have a oil cooler, not sure about the Con Rods being the same as the F6 but if they are . KPM just ripped the springs off my head so mabey they can confirm the springs

Yes the rods and springs are phoon parts.

I'm told that the XR6T uses the same rods as the F6 and LPG Falcon.

From what I understand these conrods are all exactly measured and examined the perfect rods go to the F6's the less than perfect rods go to the others.

Either way they are bound to be better than the bannanas found in ealier model T's
