    FORD XF EFI 250 crossflow - Low oil pressure

    Didn’t touch oil pump left it on just cleaned it up with sump off! Haven’t had access to a pressure gauge as of yet, will be this weekend! Any other things to look out for, I swear oil pressure was fine before pulling out and freshed up,
  2. Hi all, i have ripped the motor out of my ghia! I’m looking to rebuild the engine and wanting to know a basic list of parts ect, I will be doing this rebuild myself so any tips aswell would be great, wanting a mild cam where I can run everything the way it is now or with minor adjustments. Does anyone know a mild cam bit lumpy that is an upgrade from the stock cam? Also what are the basics I’m going to need to purchase, I know it’s better to pull it down to inspect what needs to be done.. the car is an EFI aswell as I know there is a difference in cams between the carby and Efi. As I said any info would be greatly appreciated!

    @ando76 do you think it’s best to get everything from them they do everything... or should I just get everything stock besides the cam and timing chain from crow and roll master? Precision engines Stock pushrods Stock rocker arms kit Lifters Stock Valve springs Gasket kit complete Crow cam Roll master timing chain Dg2 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Alright so been on and off the phone to quiet afew company’s! All saying the same stuff, only one with a slightly modified cam is camtech, the bloke even told me it’s probably not worth the money putting it in when a stock replacement would be ideal aswell, so verdict, I’m going to find a replacement cam, I’ll either go crow replacement but does that mean I need to grab the dg2 distributer drive? If I go factory replacement where can I go to get that and would I need a dg2 gear with the replacement, cheers all for your help, hope I have also helped afew our trying to change cams. EFI IS A NO GO ZONE WITH CHANGING CAMS DONT BOTHER. Replacement ones are your best bet. I’m still going to buy all the supporting gear but just run the replacement cam with it so atleast I know internals are all freshend up, cheers all. Anyone else able to send me the right springs aswell? Crow don’t have a listing either and don’t seem like they want to help over the phone... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do you think I should be searching for the individual parts then going all out and going off there quote? Crow cams have charged a lot extra for items I can find cheaper here and there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Right now the car is a t5 manual with 3.9 spool diff in it. I came across the diff for a bargain so I swapped it in but eventually want to go back to a lsd around the 3 mark or less, I’ll start sourcing a replacement cam then, anyone do kits for them with the stock cam, timing chain stem seals,springs rocker arms, pushrods ect just a basic kit, cheers all for the help appreciate it!

    So the last question, should I just run a stock replacement cam, as there isn’t anything else that is going to work, I don’t want to have to stuff around to much, the motor isn’t getting thrashed just thought if I do it once to do it properly, but I’m going to keep the car original! So can’t swap computers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
