Let's just hope it doesn't happen again. Hopefully I'll know soon how much I will be up for, then go from there. Best of luck with yours mate and I'll keep posting up as I know things.John Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/59769-360rwkw-its-just-not-enough/page/2/#findComment-909099 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest spec engines will use very different tolerances compared with 4 years ago.Brian Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/59769-360rwkw-its-just-not-enough/page/2/#findComment-909182 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully as you said it just needs to be touched up. I have been told that they did change a few things in the last few years as to the specs of the Stage 3 engines. Would you have some idea as to what they changed?Also with this car, I am very happy with 360rwkw for the street, however I'd really like to have a dyno tune pumping out 450rwkw. Now I will be adding the Nizpro 4" system, would there be any other parts that people would recommend that could get me there?ThanksJohn Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/59769-360rwkw-its-just-not-enough/page/2/#findComment-909213 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rods and pistons were fine, and reused. In the process rings & bearings were changed, and in the process of refresh it's worth having everything double checked and a stack of other things done.Still is not cheap.Brian Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/59769-360rwkw-its-just-not-enough/page/2/#findComment-909235 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it sounds like a good thing to do while the motor is apart.

They are now being replaced and I'm looking at between 5-6 grand to fix.
