Posted: September 25th, 2010, 4:40 pma question so does the head have a raised T on the front just behind the fan belt.

Posted: September 25th, 2010, 4:44 pmTheres no T on the head, its not tickford.
All bottom ends are the same regardless of tickford or not.

Posted: September 25th, 2010, 4:56 pmi honestly thought the ute and gas motor had different rods,
although that info came from a ford wreaker in geelong so suppose that says it all.

**** man stop talking shit and passing it off as gospel.
Those hoses go to the heater pipes underneath the manifold, and if you don't remember correctly don't post it. Ute and LPG motors have different bottom ends? WTF were you thinking even saying that?

Fail
Tickford motors had different pistons to raise the compression ratio slightly, rods cranks etc were the same though.
Re: Mums el with xr6 running gear
Posted: September 26th, 2010, 1:25 pmWhere'd you hear that? Tickford said they didnt touch the bottom ends...
Re: Mums el with xr6 running gear
Posted: September 26th, 2010, 5:49 pmDistinctly remember reading it in wheels years and years ago, was going through back issues at tafe and found one from about october 1992 or therabouts when the EB XR6 was brand new.

Agreed. Ticky heads were what created the slightly higher comp, 9.3 to 9.35 or close to as well as ticky heads having larger exhaust valves. Can someone confirm or deny that the ticky heads had better valve springs?

Posted: September 26th, 2010, 10:35 pmThey were painted red. Supposed to be stiffer but according to Gilberts head reconditioning they were no different.
