MFI engine setup.

whats going on is, the head gaskit went, been replaced and went again, new ford gen gaskit and new balts, ect...

but been taken out and again headgaskit has gone, pooring white smoke and poping off the oil cap,

the engine has only done 6,000miles since rebuild. what could be my problem?

 

I think your head could be warped, was it checked?

 

oh it keeps spliting the head gaskit at number 3 cylinder, running 11psi.. just been up for a setup and he remove the vacum hose which goes into the ecu

 

sorry yes been skimed and pressure tested.

 

have you had the head pressure tested and skimmed?

 

as above your post

 

block decked??

 

nope not looked at the block, looked fine when removed the head

 

Where was it setup? If it keeps blowing HG's even with a freshly refaced head then it running too hot and/or detonating.

 

setup in at basford dyno tune, aparntly all he has done is blanked off the vacum hose from the ecu to the MFI inlet. and its running 11psi.

when the head gaskit goes the oil cap pops off, seams like the bottem end has gone?? but there is no mayo in the dipsitck at all, and the bore of number 3 to where its poping the gaskit is smoth, no lines or scores.

its a good bottem and only been rebuilt 6000miles ago

 

WTF? If the Vacuum pipe to the ECU is blocked off then your timing will not be adjusted as the boost pressure increases and this is why your popping HG's!! Lucky you have not holed a piston yet! Although with the Oil cap popping of i'd say you've fried some rings.
Why did he do that??

 

I had a hairline crack in my 1st block you could hardly see it but it blew two head gaskets one after another. Got a new block and its been fine ever since.

 

thats what i was thinking, clown is what i can say, hireline is poss, the garage its in now is ganna get looking at it again, looks like a new botten end,

where did u get your bottem end from? steve

 

all the mayo is at the top half of the engine, there is no mayo in the sump, would this tell me my bottem end is safe bar my pistons

 

What a bunch of pricks taking that hose off!

 

get them cunts to foot the bill, piss taking bastards....

 

the cunt wont take any Responsbilty, at all.

You know what made me laugh aswell, the guy whos doing my work a garage near my office went and spoken to him to find out just what he has done.

from what he said was just removed the vacum from the ECU, i thought it was a bit strange myself but he said that was the problem,

he also said there was no way of ajusting the boost, ermmmm there is, its called a Acucrator(sp) Rod that you turn!..

im going to take a look into my options for the billing to be at his exspence, the engines only done 6,000miles not even that.

he sounded like he knew his fords and told me hes delt with a few before, the guy doing my work is pritty clue'd up... fucking 2half k engine GONE by some cunt who thinks he can tune a RST!!!

 

Thats pretty bad mate! I'd be going mental at them and trying to get some sort of compensation...... really is a piss take!

 

I bought the whole engine off a lad on here who was breakin a fiesta turbo.

 

have a good engine or block if you need one

 

Basford Dyno tune been there myself but would not go again same with Geoff Bloors in Bridgeford melted my wiring loom. Take it up to Nobles in Chesterfield had no problems here.

Cheers PaulT

 

hope you sort it mate, alot of money down he drain....
