A couple of guys from WA have shown that the stock piston can handle it.

They even went from forged back to stock due to the rattling.

As to the point that they become a liability I'm not sure.

Maybe the $2500 bottom end is the go from FORD ? for 300-350 RWKW

Ideas ?

That my friend is probably the most cost effective solution. Any of the engines from 05/06 are basically a F6 engine, which should be capable of supporting 350-400rwkw dependant on the tune.

So what do you think causes the rod bolts to fail? I'm of the opinion that over-revving the engine has a large part to do with it. The same can be said about oil pump gear failures.

Probalbly less common but severe engine braking could also cause it, that's why its best to blip the throttle on the gear down changes when giving it a hard time!

Just rang ford spare parts the ba xr6t bottom end is different to the bf xr6t bottom end which is different to the bf f6 bottom end so I really think that you are tacking a risk buying a ford bottom end.

Better to rebiuld your own motor with rods and pistons.

It's the spare parts thing does not tell them the difference it just gives them different part numbers.
