Why not sbutler, youve been more than happy explaining how they left themselves open with the F6..

According to Ford Docs RR are 1.7:1
A bit of info is also available here , have a look at the video aswell, I think it also talks about this stuff.

I'm just an engine builder, not a ford employee. Im happy to share the info I have found on the T3, Ive built about a half dozen or so.

Ive never seen a 1.72, they are street series yella terra bolt on 1.65.
Valves are ferrea, springs are crane, retainers are stock rotating type, etc.

Rods are argo, cheap laser cut girdle, crankshaft rebuilders crank and ACL pistons with an 8cc dish and ceramic coat.

Seen my engine pulled down and wouldn't have said the crank girdle was cheap and my crank was a scat crank. I thought the pistons had teflon coated skirts?

Didn't see the rockers though!

Im not being rude - I mean its just a laser cut piece, not an aftermarket item. The pistons are a ceramic coat.

also - the inlet I think is a beaut item, however the manifolds I have seen have been blessed with residual sand in them.

That girdle CHEAP!! yeah right! I dont think so, it looks pretty good to me......

Here is an extract from a ford doc.

New pistons, rings and conrods (left piston) are locally built and superior to the US items. Each conrod is machined out of a solid billet of steel then shotpeened for extra strength.
Molybdenum disulphide is screen printed then baked on the cast alloy pistons for reduced friction.

Yeah, I know what they write. I'm just telling you what I see in the motors. There aren't any problems with the engines, just calling it as I see it.

Like the boss motors, the ring packs have been changed no less than 3 times, a different material each time, maybe there are variances there somewhere. not sure.

There's a block called Noddy on these forums, I emailed him pics of his engine, PM him for the pics.

Yes sbutler, it is cheap. Its bizzell, and they owe me around 25 dollars each. totally uneccessary for the engine, and a waste of weight.

Yes, argo make the rods. the coating is ceramic.

Not trying to be smart here, but
you say the girdle is not needed, WHY?? Im glad Tickford built these engines..... BTW how many KWs did you get outa noddys motor???I assume you did the work on that engine did you not? There has been many people asking this, but no one anwsers it, so I will ask as well????
