Re: Fiesta Mk3.5 Ghia L reg
oh my
sad thing is it could have very well been the "motorsport" oil that caused the rod to take up its path of enlightenment...
like nick suggested
as the oil could have been too thick to lubricate the shim surface and big end of the con rod, causing heat friction and then the bolt coming loose or sheering off
no matter who tells you that oil is best, how are they more correct than fords very own recommendation?!

Re: Fiesta Ghia RS1800 Sleeper
not really, i didnt ruin a perfectly working engine by being arrogant.
i accepted everything everyone said to me and came out of it the right way.
