Had to do intake manifold gasket myself while still in the car was definitely the most difficult thing I've done so far took 6 hours all up 🤣🤣 but great video mate very helpful
New to working on Barras (although I've had a couple of BA's and a Territory). Your videos have been awesome, loving the deep dives and the attention to detail. Wouldn't have been able to put together my current build without you! Keep it up mate, cheers.
Access with those 'fat ratchet spanners was overcome by looking around for old- school on the cheap ring spanners on the barra just hunt for the specific sizes shocking locations. In the day mechanics used valve lapping grit for m- cycle case sealing , might have helped when finishing off the final seal , just rubbing the fitting parts together . Enjoyed watching the video again thanks .
Just another tip for the people out there. You can feed some rope into the spark plug hole to prevent the valves dropping while the retainers are out. No special air fittings required. 😉
Hey man! So you can just run petrol set up on a green top and don’t have to change valves or anything? I’m asking cos I wanna put a green top on my petrol na xr6 haha thanks
I used the exact tool to change valve springs , the cut out sockets that comes in the kit need to be linnished at their backside for clearance , they hit the cyl head towers. And the washers supplied for the M6 bolts are just rubbish , you need to use 3mm thick washers. Other than that all good.
Considering this is probably one of the few lpg factory 'performance' engines would you consider reviewing the lpg system.. and it's limitations. I can forsee lpg systems being used in performance applications more often.
just remove the Turbo brace or you turn the bottom left a top right stud into grade 8 bolts with tread tight then they lined up with an extension and socket
Thanks for watching! Had to modify k frame, make a bracket for the accelerator pedal, needed an AU bellhousing for the auto, had to cut out a rib on the bonnet as it hits rocker cover. Fair bit to do but its worth it 👍
No issues with the Crow valve springs at all, they're still in my old red top. motor. The domintor springs were significantly cheaper so i wanted to give them a try!
Hey man are these green top engine running on 98 or E85? I don’t want the hassles of E85 with one of my builds as I don’t plan to drive it all the time and don’t want the hassles of chasing up E85 every time I want to drive it
Using an MLS headgasket instead of the original ford single layer gasket. I threw some replacement rod bearings in but the headbolts and pump gears are still stock for now. Thanks for watching!
@@EverythingFuzzY beautiful exactly the same as mine, would you mind writing a complete parts list for myself and any others interested? ill 100% rent a garage and get this done at some stage. cheers, love all the videos!

Tip for cutting braided hose…tape around the hose,use anglegrinder with cutting disc,alot neater cut,no fraying wire..
Would love to do this to my FG xr6 egas ute one day.
yep, had to pull turbo out of BA XR6 and refit whilst in the car and its a pain in the arse...
The worst.
Have only just found your channel. I quite enjoy it and find in informative.
Keep it up mate.
Rob
Great video mate. I’m hoping to turbo an NA at some stage in the not too distant future. Very informative.
NA+T build will be a lot of fun! barratheworld youtube channel just started a video on an FG na turbo buid. Check it out!
Very good and informative video. Well done! Also.. killer music 🤘
Great 👍 info mate. Love the music you choose to go with your vids too. Keep up the great work and I’ll keep watching.
Thanks for the support! Glad you’re enjoying the videos, more coming soon!

Excited to see it in the car 👀
I’m excited to drive it! Thanks for watching.
Hey bro did you have to change your valves when upgrading it to turbo?
Considering this is probably one of the few lpg factory 'performance' engines would you consider reviewing the lpg system.. and it's limitations. I can forsee lpg systems being used in performance applications more often.
Love your vids … have a suggestion how about turning a turbo barra to lpg or running this on lpg, just curious what the performance would be like
Good vid . I used 5/8 ( think it was ?) heater hose for the drain . 35000k all good . Checked it the otero day and still good !
re Inlet manifold fitting (in car) the gasket was neatly cut in half between 3 & 4, seemed easier. 123 ! 456.
Top video as always 👍
Thanks for watching, Paul!

Awesome videos mate very informative.. Just wanted to ask what was needed to install the Barra into the eb falcon.

Thanks for responding mate.
Great vid just wonderd if cold intake n better exhaust would help a lpg motor?
Top vid m8 👍
Thanks for watching, mate!
Grate vid make keep them coming if I was to do a green top motor and all the bit of my ba turbo motor can I use my ecu ?
Did you leave the bottom end and pistons standard. Thanks.
Put my intake mani on in my patrol today but shitty but only took 5 mins
Hey mate what did you use to get the green rocker cover looking brand new like that again?? Cheers for all the info.
I used a lot of workshop degreaser from Supercheap Auto and a sponge. Came up like new. Thanks for watching!
Did you have any issues or concerns with the Crow race valve springs or did you just want to try something different? Cheers H

do barra green tops fit in ford territory
Yep!
I have changed an intake manifold in the car. It was not fun, not at all.
R.i.p
did you put new oil pump gears in it?
Nah, I’m using factory oil pump gears.
Hey mate have you done any other internals apart from the valve springs etc?
Using an MLS headgasket instead of the original ford single layer gasket. I threw some replacement rod bearings in but the headbolts and pump gears are still stock for now.
Thanks for watching!
We're are u located I need my engine built

What's the actual song title by insygnia my dude
It’s called What Does This Mean. Thanks for watching!
What do you think of the toolpro electric ratchet?
Love it, mate! can't beat it for the price. Use it all the time!
Yea I've been looking at getting one, it's Soo much smaller than say Makita, DeWalt, and Ryobi ones, and much cheaper than Milwaukee and snap on
was this a bf greentop?
Yes it is

Great video mate. I messed up when attaching the combobulator to the manifoldicus and now my penis is stuck in the cylinder bore. Any help?
I’ll tell you what taking the manifold off what the worst I ain’t putting it back on gave it away fuck that
Plumbers tape on AN fittings!? Nope. You are using eBay fittings or doing it all wrong. Sorry. Not sorry.

It's OK..except for the fkn music. Could have done without that..
