Benny's daily is leaking oil & the engine will need to be removed, however being the main work & tow vehicle, it can't come off the road for long.. Here's how Benny's getting the job done overnight.

What I have learnt from one of the sales guy’s in the service and parts at a ford dealership was which cam’s to get. He said ask for bf mk2 cams and hopefully they say they will be able to get them because these were the best cam’s that ford had between all the three different types of cam’s they had. BA-BF mk1 they figured out with how they got pitted and then they found the best manufacturer of cam’s or billet rods that didn’t pit half as much and then for some reason they changed with the fg-fgx cam’s the steel wasn’t as high quality and this is why they seem to pit easily.

The timing chain guide being chewed up reminds me of my old AU's one. There was almost nothing left. The mechanic was able to grab a handful of plastic bits that were sitting in the sump from it. Thank you previous owners of that absolute shitbox for looking after it!

I can never have too much Barra content, they seem like such a stout and versatile engine. Just a bit sad they aren't as readily available elsewhere in the world! As a straight 6 enthusiast there's heaps of cars I'd want to put one in, because RBs are expensive and my other option is BMW gear which also gets pricey right quick :D

Hi Benny, Great video's here ... super helpful & detailed! A question on preparing the block deck in the car, so not removing the sump but replacing the cylinder head gasket. I'm ready to clean the deck for the cylinder head and want to clean it as per your video. My concern is getting particles into the block & oil passages & stuffing the engine. do I just pack the passages on the block with something & them pull that out once I'm done? Any advice would be appreciated.

Just about ready to start putting my FG G6 engine back together and am wary of the rubber gaskets supplied for the rebuild. They seem like they are difficult to handle and just don't seem to be the correct specs (just eyeballing them), I'm used to easier gasket replacements like those on my 5.0L Windsor. The sump gasket in particular bothers me, it just doesn't sit right and I admit to being reluctant to use it as it is. Hoping these videos will help out before I try it and lose my shit doing something wrong.

do the cam solenoids pull out in sy territoy or just the seal? Hope they do, would make it easier to change the valve cover gasket as I shouldn't have to remove the throttle if the solenoids come out.
