Ow dear....piles

Encountered a few problems.....the crank seal is leaking and I have not felt alternators bearings as rough since I picked up a new Ford one.

A very interesting thread on the ABS forum concerning those.

The 3.2 and 2.6 manifolds appear to be quite a bit better than the standard 2.5/3.0 ones.

I think these will be more of an issue for the larger cc engine, this one is a 2.6 but, once they are off we will have a little look at them.

Its fair to say that on the porting, quite a bit could be done around the exhaust port as you could remove the section associated with the air injection but, you need the header to match it!
