  4. this is why i love this engine, standard lump except spacer plate and arp head bolts and it puts up with 400bhp?!! im still a ford boy at heart but my zetec turbo melted its standard pistons at 180 bhp! dont think i'll be modding any more fords lol
  5. could jus be the fluid, it does absorb moisture over time and make em spongy or wooden. i would check pads and discs too, tho wouldnt worry about much else with 63k on the clock tho......mines done 167k and its all still good.

  12. well, thought id sort the cooler leak the other day..........and yup the crack pipe broke! my mate 'lending' a hand broke it and the look of horror on his face was funny enough not to make me angry haha. but had to sort it as its my daily drive and i have to get to work................ i managed to bodge this by tapping the resulting hole, and threading some stainless tube, lots of locktight skinned nuckles and shit loads of swearing! so far so good! but will still get one of these soonish http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?29073.post had a look at the leak on the sum
