    Great to see my old car getting some well deserved TLC. Be great to see it back on the stages. It always had the induction side water manifold off the back of the head when I swapped it over to the laminova, I never got it to run cool enough on a retroford water rail.
    Nice one Josh and team 👍🏻

      Hopefully not much longer and the old girl will be turning some wheels in anger 👊🏼

    I had to cut the input shaft by 6mm when I fitted my tractive to my 2.0 ltr duratec. Engine wouldn’t turn when the box was bolted up.

    • @avin_the_crack
      @avin_the_crack  6 месяцев назад +2

      The engine and box have already been in and running so if that was needed originally then I’d say it has already been done. Good to know though 👍🏻

    Mr reed certainly knows how to build an engine
    Should be fairly lively as they are the next gen on from the c20xe and he built them well
    Great episode as usual boys
    And john if your watching this use some wd40 on your wallet for some sponsorship for the lads as they advertise your engines take a hiding the way the rev the nuts ofc them all the time and not advertise a jre let go (because its rare they do )😂

    • @avin_the_crack
      @avin_the_crack  6 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah he certainly does. He’s built all the XE engines we’re currently running in various vehicles. We’ll make sure we’ve got a can of WD40 ready for him next time he pops up 😂😂

      @avin_the_crack he used to build my dad's hotrod engine plus other people's we know
      He can build an engine but he's bloody tight 🤣
      Glad he's back building again as the best xe builder I've known

      @avin_the_crack that would be cool as you seem to had every other ford going lol. I don't know what is about old fords they just cool growing up that's all my dad had I have always wanted one but because I have epilepsy I am not allowed to drive. That's why I like watching you guys because you do what I would do if I had the knowledge 😉
