Ya I bought a crank from a member on here and found out it was 20 over. Machine shop said it may be to weak for a Turbo engine but I heard it may be fine at that spec. I just had to ask before it gets resembled. Appreciate the prompt posting now I can move ahead a little more confident!

Well pretty much a to b question but I need to know if turning the rod journals 20 under would be safe for a Turbo starion, And why? Tried searching couldn't find anything on this subject any help appreciated Thanks!

Starion871 replied to Starion871's topic in Virtual Mechanic
Ill try flipping it around I dont see how it would change anything it seems symetical and even arms all the way around. The engine stand is horizontal not vertical if thats what you mean by upside down. Could you find a picture of this so I can see what your talking about Vbrad? -
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong spot wasn't sure were to post a question like this. Here is my problem, I am trying to put my g54b on a engine stand. I can get the top 2 arms to go in place but the bottom bellhousing inserts are about under a inch out of range of the arm. What can I do? Iv looked for individual arms and heard there are extensions for them but no clue were to find them! My current arms are 5 1/4" I belive a 6" arm would be nessecary. Any help greatly appreciated Thanks,

I wanna say thanks to everyone that posted there input. Everything went great! And the dealer said they would change my oil free because they gave me a dented oil filter :mad: . I used 5w30 conventional went threw a hour of gridlock and a few hours of driving with no folleys so all good so far!
-
IV checked the oil when the car was cold and hot its saying about the same thing level ground aswell. When I went to my local parts store they said 5w30 conventional was reccomended, I just wasnt sure what the ford dealership deiceded to use.But a half a quart of 5w30 conventional would be ok? If it is infact synthetic? What if I used a Syn Blend?
