_Shocker's_ 1988 Ford Festiva B6T Build Thread

[_Shocker_]

how did you align your timing marks?? the plate behind the gears has the alignment marks for the cam gears...

the cam gears have a I and E on them, the service manual says to align the I for the intake side at 12.

And Align the E for the exhaust side at 12 also.

There was red paint on the cam gears also from where the previous owner had done the timing and made his own marks, but i hand spun the motor over a good 5-6 times to make sure its not getting snagged up on anything, or hitting anything just to be sure.

B6T's are non interference so even if the timing is out the engine will still spin over fine, easiest thing to do is cut the plate in half through the cam holes then you can slide it in time the motor then slide the plate back out :D

thanks for the comments guys and DamnKid, Hot wheels

nobody nz thanks for the tip i will try that! i completely forgot about this being a non interference motor!

Id love to make some G Series mounts for you guys!!! but im afraid i have no market to offer them to cause im not directly connected with FF. com

maybe we could work something out through CP.com ???

[nerd racing]

There are a lot of us that cross pollinate forums... more than you'd think... and + a million about not wanting to follow crazy strict rules they have over there.

Can't wait to have another 88' b6t car tearing up the streets! the charcoal grey is clean!!

Thanks Guys im in NC right now and will be back in a few days.

My Vj11/14 is being built right now, and it should be back friday then i can start to assemble the exhaust part, along with a new coolant bypass pipe.

Then its off to wiring, i dont know much about the wiring because my resources are limited, so whenever RJ isnt busy he'll log into FF.com and do some reading.

Update 6-7-2011

I got my turbo back from Mike Turbo Inc. in Miami. I sent them my Vj14 and a Vj11 comp wheel and housing to make me a Vj11-14 Hybrid. They charged me 250.00 bucks to rebuild it and make a hybrid!

heres some turbo porn!

Nice build. I wish I had the time/patience to completely strip my car and paint it. lol

[noshatch]

Hong and Mike at Mike turbo did my hybrid too. Most of their vj11's and vj14's came from my friend. I wanna see this in person when its done. If you need any b6t parts let me know. I'm in hallandale and me and my friend have a slue of parts for those motors.
