Engine failure

[RSDave]

Could the altered back pressure from the cobra exhaust cause this with the fact the cars running stock?

Pleased FMC have stood by you with a new engine. Great news.

Haha Nice to see a fellow Swede. ?

I’ve gotten great service from the mechanic at ford here in Stockholm. He pushed back his vacation so he could replace my engine next week. That’s great service in my eyes. And I even asked him to take pictures and document the process and he was happy to do it. And even mentioned he has an RS himself so he can understand being without it for this long. ?

So now I’m just waiting for it to be done in time so I can break in the engine before we’re heading for a track day later this month.

The dealers here in sweden isnt that picky when it comes to warranty vs tuned cars etc, Mine’s been tuned every time it went in to Ford for some warranty or recall job, the boss at my dealer test drove my car and came back “this car is not stock” with a smile on his face haha

Hi jori seeing an engine hanging reminds me of these  two jobs.

I have always taken a deep breath after removing a engine and thinking I now need to fill this hole with something that works and not have ANY bits left over at the end.

Best engine removal was on a citreon 2cv, (600 cc ) hand full of bolts removed, disconnect exhaust, remove a few wires disconnected a couple of ancillaries, then reached in an 2 of us lifted the engine out by hand. Replaced with a tuned unit for off road fun in the mud, 40 bhp if I recall correctly.

worst……. BMW V12 from a 8 series…… Nightmare……  weight and balance, access, fit, complexity and cost

No nothing.

No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

No tackiness.

Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

Innit?

How about this for an engine with a fan on the front?? (Merlin engine) you would not need fake engine noise with this under the bonnet. I recall years back a guy called John Dodds fitted one of these to Rolls Royce lookalike and went baiting BMW’s on the autobahn, RR were very upset with him at the time. You can find info on the intranet as there were articles in various car mags at the time.
