I was thinking of calling ford on Monday to find out what work on record they might have because its only done 60,000kms and the last owner didnt do anything I was aware of in the valve train. There was two owners before me. What do you guys think? should I be worried or chasing down the history of this? I ended up doing about 4 markings using liquid paper pen on each sprocket so I got everything to line back up without any dramas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are your fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant wait to see your sesylts once its all sorted sweet, thanks guys.... didn't find anyone yet, we have spent a bit of time today porting the Mamba housing right out to create a better flow to the internal wastegate. will be testing it out in a couple of days bypassing the boost solenoid to see how low it can hold boost.

I shoulda said that upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
