In this video i strip down 3 different Barra Green Tops to see exactly what the differences are between each model!
If you're considering using a Barra engine for your project car and not sure what model engine will suit your needs then this video might be able to shed some light and answer some questions.

My cheap 'project car' is a June 2003 BA wagon, with 522,000km original engine/auto/diff. Have renewed the timing chain cover gasket to fix that leak, but still have a small leak from the rear of the sump dammit. My 'project' is to see if I can get it over the million km's finish line.

Even tho i dont live on Australia and have no access to barra engines i was curius about it. As a mechanic i LOVE that thingy thing that holds the chain in place to no miss a tooth down when doing work on the cams with the engine on the car.. all manufacters should be like this. Also this engine reminds me some how the 2jz and all Toyotas 4.5 land Cruiser engine similar structure nice vídeo

For those that are more budget conscious and doing an NA + T conversion it’d be interesting to know if there are any internal differences as there seems to be alot of mixed information out there.

Good video mate , i love these henry 6 potters , i have the barra`s little brother the VCT in the xr6 , drove it as a tow car and family taxi for 17 years until the body was very tired in need of major TLC , retired her as i`m now to old to be spannering cars unfortunately and drove her into the front yard with being completely unopened with original head gasket it left the factory with and still running like a beauty except for a bit of timing chain/guide rattle . if anyone wants to talk about green , here are engines that go for a long long time and are shit easy and cheap to give a freshen up to go another life time .

@rodneymcgiveron 2 жыл бұрын

Go the Intech and VCT SOHC.....Barra's are great ..I have one in my FG XR6 but my old 2001 AU ll Futura Intech just goes and goes and goes .. Penrite oil fixed a very slight lifter chatter and quiet as a church mouse now ..She occasionally has a squeaky dash and if it's dry for a while a sway bar rubber will squeak over speed bumps ..I love the old girl ..Another thing about the AU's with the inline 6 ... Out of production for two decades and they are still EVERYWHERE in decent numbers . Never ceases to amaze me ...Such a good car ..

I used the recommended penrite oil in the diff on my Ba big mistake there are 2 seals listed for the pinion one is for synthetic one is for mineral oil. The pentite recommended oil was synthetic it destroyed the seal after a month oil everywhere under my once spotless ba xr6 turbo ute. I am now very wary of using synthetic oil in older cars a pinion seal is the same type of seal as a front and rear seal and if you use synthetic oil with a seal that was never made for it it destroys them.

Good Vid , Nicely Done ! Another difference that iv'e noticed between my BF motor and the BA .Is the Sump , on my BF sump it has the mounting lugs for the Trans cooler . i think the BA is cooled through the radiator . I just got a 2003 , 220 Kl'm BA to replace my 2006, 338899 Kl'm with head gasket gone , still ran great , not hot , just foamed up the rocker box , I just put a liter of coolant in it every day , so other than do the head (Which could be cracked ? So i was told ) Some pitting on the cams in the BF. so I just got the 220kl'm BA . On the Knock sensors My BF had 2 and the BA 1 will that be a problem ? Or just add the 2 to the BA motor ?
