Hey guys! So i have a EB tickford head i am doing up for the ED, I removed the cam and found this!

gday guys, So the ED is now manual. My problem is it runs fine, accelerates fine BUT taking the foot off to slow down it jerks pretty bad. It is still running the auto ECU. I have a J3 to be tuned to suit soon. thanks Kim

How time flys... I have a few mods done. How do i post pics guys? Kim

yes i seen he did lol. i have no idea if one was mine

cheers guys. And TI performance have a great rep. This is just a minor issue hopefully on my part. Ive spoke to TI and they have been very good regarding the problem. I'll give it another good clean up and see how i go. Thanks for the help. kim

TI performance

ISC valve?

Thanks gerg. I bought the resistors, 1 watt 6.8 k and 1.2 k. Apparently I need to hook up the nutruel switch on the box for other issues, I figured if it gets a tune it wont need them. i actually just got my J3 back, plugged it in and the fuel pump doesnt stop priming and the car will not start. Removed it and it starts.

can someone please tell me what's required to put a little Windsor into my ED? it's a 4.0. I'm aware of the k frames being different but does it REALLY need swapping with a V8 frame? cheers guys. Sent from my XT1068 using Tapatalk

Hi chaps, Well the ED ( 4.0 ) has had a head swap. Reconditioned to at that. With the old oil it didnt smoke AT ALL. Saturday I did an oil change penrite PR 30 extra 10 ( 30-60 ) Took it for a drive no worrys. ( not that far ) Took it to work this morning and it seemed fine but was dark so maybe it smoked. Anyway, after work I started it to show a mate the stereo and after 3-4 mins it blew that much smoke it wasn't funny! Like fucking shitloads! Even missed! Kept blowing! booted it up the road and it cleared. still plenty of power and no smoke. Got it home, let it sit for a few hours started it for 10 mins and NOTHING. the oil was on ADD as I put a litre in the pajero. So the ED got 4 litres. Funny to because the pajero didn't like it either! tick tick tick loud! What the hell? I'm thinking another oil change... It's like the valve stem seals are gone but they are new.

Thanks guys. I've always used heavy stuff without drama. It has stopped smoking now. I'll go thin then.

Fuel pump

it smoked again today but even less again

Yeh it is. It's a weird one. i'm thinking PCV valve now as the hose is full of oil and possibly puddling in the lag manifold. It has plenty of grunt, no noises and zero smoke even when giving it hell.

So I started it after work let it idle for a few minutes then had to get the fuck out of there. Started again but no where near as bad. And this time it was blue. Oil. How? The head gas been reconditioned! New stem seals as well obviously so what the hell? I can't think of anything other that oil running on top of the pistons while the car sits for a few hours. What am I supposed to do! Everytime I get some so called qualified mechanic or rebuilder to touch my cars they either do no better that me or simply stuff it up. Spent a fortune on on the head, rebuild, cam chip etc and I get this shit. I can see why people say leave it stock! It's all money once you open it up

Cheers for the replies guys. The log comment got me thinking...I degreased and washed the engine with the throttle body fully exposed to degreaser and water. And the smoke was white. Not blue... hoping it was water and degreaser sitting in the log

Or the circuit breaker.

Hi guys, Does anyone know the settings for these metal head gaskets to suit the 4.0 SOC?

Thanks for that mate The EF head is a 94AB

Bloody good read mate! Have you seen BARK FORD 6 on youtube? thats a 4.0 with a huge supercharger on it. How would you rate the EB Tickford heads? My ED is a 4.0 that has a EF head on it ATM and pacemakers 2 1/2" system ( no cat ) Plans are the EB tickford head thats just had work to go on with the crow cam and J3 to suit tuned to run 98. I had the cam in the EF head with J3 and didn't see any real improvment! Cam timing? Lots going on in my head.

Oh nice that means you still have it LOL! Do you have a build thread?

Nice mate! Mines not ported or polished. How did it go?

That ED of yours is bloody nice! What are the wheels?

Stage 3 can't remember the part number but it ends in 549 i think. Series 2

Just put it back together as I removed the crow cam and J3 chip. It's now running the standard the ECU and the EB XR6 Cam. Took it for a spin and it goes HARDER! WTF. Obviously I need a adjustable cam gear to dial in the big crow. ( the head, cam and chip is put away until I get more goodys )
