No compression at all in 1 and very little in 5. No visible holes or cracks in the block, sump etc. It also blew the blow off valve off. He doesn't think there's much point in pulling the head off yet. Will do that once it's out of the car to fit to the new block.His opinion is it massively over boosted and damaged pistons when it backfired.So the Phoon bottom end is on order and I'm looking into valve springs and a billet oil pump gear. Any opinions of good gear to look for?

Guest Guests Posted 04/10/07 09:44 AM Share Posted 04/10/07 09:44 AM I know there's a mob over here in WA that has a pretty good reputation for there oil pump gears... Kostecki race engines I think they're called. Might be worth a look into Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/38739-constant-loud-tappet-like-sound-after-massive-backfire/page/3/#findComment-581303 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 04/10/07 09:53 AM Share Posted 04/10/07 09:53 AM Should save you quite a bit in labour, instead of having to rip the turbo off again later down the track Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/38739-constant-loud-tappet-like-sound-after-massive-backfire/page/3/#findComment-581308 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nizpro do oil pump gears too don't they?

Guest Guests Posted 04/10/07 10:36 AM Share Posted 04/10/07 10:36 AM Yeah pretty sure Nizpro do them too. Anyone had any experience with them???I'm sure they'd be great quality, as are all there bits and pieces Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/38739-constant-loud-tappet-like-sound-after-massive-backfire/page/3/#findComment-581330 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be in the 1 %.Yeah this seems to be the case. There's a few bad stories going around about their engin builds. I know there's a mob over here in WA that has a pretty good reputation for there oil pump gears... Kostecki race engines I think they're called. Might be worth a look into Cheers mate, will look them up s well as Nizpro. Upgrade your actuator and port your waste gate port out while the motor is out.But this would require a tune. I will be doing a couple of mods that dont require a retune (oil pump gears, valve springs, intercooler, piping(?)) but I want do all of the mods that require a retune at once after its run in good and proper.
