A MS6 update (welcome to my nightmare)

I haven't posted on here in forever and MarineMazda said i should share. Seeing as this is a small group i am confidant that some of you already know about this.

Well my MS6 died so i thought i would share the repairing of a timing chain on a VVT
first i cleaned the engine bay

Then i started to take it apart.
Is that oil in the intercooler.... Ah stupid PCV valve...

that carbon is from the freash air inlet to the crankcase... shouldn't the air be going in not out?...

Day two,

EGR tube

EGR tube Plus something...

Chain left scars

Overall it was nice and clean in there

Update,

Little wear for 103k on the motor.

what died next to the new one

that isn't shipped as a slot

where they heat treated the part so that it lasts more then 100k

ford doesn't believe in keyways, no instead for those that haven't seen it let me introduce the "friction washer".... Also nothing is a press fit.

stretched chain

primer

krinkle paint

After i was done i started the car and it sounded like a tin full of mables. After digging through the whole motor i found this

Anyway here are some interesting pics i took...

I can say this because of were i work, but the only castings that get hand scribed are prototypes and they are not for public sale. So WTF

Just a nice pic i think. Good colours and focal depth.

Direct injection for the fail here

So yeah that is were i am now, I am going to order cp pistons k1 rods, cp-e injector seals, pump internals, and hope that things go better this time.

I have to say that the oiling system in this block is great! i have never seem mains that looked this good with 100km on them.

Major kodos for finding the bent rod before things got worse. Best wishes to get the car running again.

Thanks for all the pics and GL with the build.

 

[TiGraySpeed6]

Hate your having to go through all this!
Good Luck on your build, and thanks for taking us along on your ride rebuild

Keep the pics coming :thumbup:

 

[flipper66]

that casting number is very odd. You might give mazda a ring about that and ask wtf is up with that.

Sucks you gotta go through this, but looks like you got it under control at least.

GL sir.

That stretched chain is kind of amazing, you would never think that metal could warp and stretch like that. Thanks for the pics and good luck with the re-build.

 

[djmarkian]

Great step by step and what you have done. Im getting my VVT replaced today, hopefully my chain and valve cover are still in good shape. However I did drive my car for awhile with a broken VVT (dumb move).

 

[Win]

Agreed thanks for the Step by step also. Thanks

I can't wait for the end results.....GL with your build.

I have to start going through my motor the same way this weekend. Making a pretty nasty knocking noise. Im afraid its a bent rod, or spun bearing, or worse. (Is there worse?)

Anyways, nice pics, and thank you! Gives me an idea of what to look for while im rooting around in there!

 

[brassard8]

u are good to open this engine... i surely wont try it myself...

 

[NascarGreg]

Im afraid its a bent rod, or spun bearing, or worse. (Is there worse?)

Oh yeah....like when those said parts are OUTSIDE the block....uninvited

 

[troubled81]

Well i have ordered CP pistons and K1 rods. I hope to get the block to the machine shop next week. Well i was odering stuff i got the CP-e injector seals as well.

 

[troubled81]

I hope to have it all done for the end of november....

 

[TiGraySpeed6]

Nifty collection of shiny bits :thumbup:

sdit to add- Keep up with the pics! Love to see more pics of the build as you go!

 

[troubled81]

The head is also done and ready to go. I still need to file the ring and i hope to be putting a motor back in this car this coming weekend.

 

[tenchix]
