Now here's a guy on TH-cam that speaks my language.
I needed to see this video Benny,good shit!.
RIP the Werri wagon, at least its engine lives on!
always good to see more barra stuff.
Great info Benny. Awesome stuff
Fantastic video...really enjoyed that...
Love all the "traps for young Players" tips you give Benny!
Thanks for providing the information.It was very helpful.Hope to see more videos like that.
Thanks mate for another great video. Ngl I kinda smiled when I saw this video in my youtube feed.
good to have a dig at Woody...you and AL and The Hoff are amazing with your technical and practical knowledge and presentation..just love all the local channels
Sick video! Love your sockets, make me want to get some! Chur! 😁
What a top bloke!
Your vids are cool to watch mate def keep doing them man you’re made for it 🤪🤓✅
So much knowledge, awesome video.
Awesome thank you Benny
Thanks for posting this man
Had my fg turbo from 40,000km now up to 160,000 km with ongoing mods, loved the video to see more internals and workings of the mighty Barra, thanks Benny
Benny is the Barra whisperer. 👍
Thanks Benny Awesome as always and perfect timing for me I’m about to tear my FG down 👍🏻
Good stuff, Benny
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!
Good work, awesome to have a strip down step bye step and no shit. I’ve liked and subbed
Benny should be a Trade School Teacher ....excellent explanation of procedures 👍
👍😊I think you should hot rod your engine stand with a spill tray plaster mixing tubs work well and when you drop things it saves you searching the floor 😁
On ya Benny!
I watched and second one. Was hooing see rear main seal install. But learnt heaps cheers
was thinking about woodys cam snapping mishap just before you mentioned it haha
Maybe woody should have been a carpenter))
Good yarn! Nice work team.
Also, good call on not loading up Le Cresta into boaty mcboatface. Saw they've binned the event 👎😭
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
finally someone else who actually uses a combo stone to properly clean the deck face 🤙great work benny
It is not the thing to do . No abrasives.
Go Benny!
Shots fired... cam snappa!
Just a word of caution with the balancer benny.
I had one come apart and It tore up the front main seal, the timing cover survived thankfully.
The bore of the balancer had hairline fractures.
Was a low k wrecker engine.
First time I've seen an "inside the piston chamber" cam shot!
Fun times doing most of that with the motor in the vehicle.
Never underestimate a good rag.
Cheers for the video Benny building my own Barra at the moment, just wondering if you could share the identifying marks for cam caps think I’ve mixed mine up in the process of moving house, cheers🤙🏼
Champion 💪
Bennys slight tension is about 4 uga duga clicks on the rattlegun🤣🤣
Or 2 ugga duggas on the nut fucker..... (bigger 1/2 inch drive)
Woody a bit of a cam snapper . Best line I have heard in a bit.
John Williamson he’s still a legend though :D
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.
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.
great episode. was that a Ryobi impact driver or the touqe wrench you were using?
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.
Not first! Love the videos. Another good one. Can't wait for the next one.
I would not be mad if you did a similar video for an RB. ;)
As a dumb "Yank"...I'm always jealous of the countries that got the modern Ford inline 6.
LOVE my little old 200cid...but would really like to retro fit a Barra into my old Mustang.
Lol ok adam
Word of the week... SUPER
Curious as to what’s under the car cover in the background though 🤔
The real question that no one's game to ask, what hair and beard product are you using mechanical Stig?
Lookin good.
Hi Benny, Have u ever struck the problem with corrosion in the water jackets in the blocks? We run these engines in jet boats in New Zealand and have had trouble with them getting combustion in the cooling system due to the corrosion and lifting the gasket under boost
16:30 kmart bath towels 10/10
they're about $2-3 each, very good for the workshop or putting dirty parts in the boot of your clean car/wagon
Love your videos Benny 👌🏼 I’m 17 and have a big passion for cars, some stuff you say goes over my head but I like that you take the time to explain it all. Keep it up mate & I hope to see you if you ever come to Brissy some time !
Cooper thanks for watching mate :)
Mad
Woody cam snapper
I was taught 45 years ago to do as the book required when torquing head bolts and I decided to try torquing them in a circular direction...45 years later and I'm still doing it with no issues including TTY bolts...Essentially just do everything evenly....Just sayin'
What about stone grit getting into the rings???
What's your procedure for preparing the block and heads mating surfaces?
Does it not matter the order bolts are loosened, even though they may be tightened in a specific pattern.
Any advice for a stuck cam solenoid? I have one that won't budge!
Good stuff Benny. Is that gear heads oz mates Barra? Seen in one of there vids you bought it
Yeah, they filmed me without consent when I picked it up on the sly.
Benny's Custom Works that’s dog as
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.
What's the aim with the injectors and high flowed turbo? 350-400rwkw? I suspected some more power was in the works when you said you were doing the valve springs.
Fordy Ford yeah maybe 400 so we can high five then turn it back down to around 350
@@BennysCustomWorks should be plenty fun for a daily work ute.
Saw a vid where Atomic performance says do not use an aftermarket timing chain guide under any circumstances, they are shit. They recommend the later model thicker genuine chain guides. This vid is from 2012. Do they make better quality aftermarket ones now, or do people still run the genuine items?
What head shop is doing the Barra head?
Do those cam seriously snap if you loosen the caps unevenly
I heard the fg cams a slightly bigger and the intake cam the lobes are slightly offset to create a swirl effect with the fuel into the combustion chamber
I have measured all engines and no change after 2006 the head is a big change after 2010 valve springs have 10lb seat pressure more in the fg 310 they have a light green colour code on the spring ford fitted these to na and turbo
18:50 RELEASE THE SHMOO
Marauw!
Gday benny i know of an awesome product that bolts to your engine stand to catch all your water and oul spills its australian made i reckon MCM and skid factory could use one as well
Kenneth Croese aussie made, mint!! Injection moulded?
Benny's Custom Works i think its rotational molded
I will find out accurately they are designed to bolt to any engine stand
Benny's Custom Works mate those oil pans are rotational molded for the engine stands
Hey Benny, curious as to what those sockets your using on the impact driver are? Wouldn’t mind getting a set for myself.
I'd be keen to know as well.
Same
they are from japan - mcm mentioned how they brought a shit tonne back from japan as they cant find anything like them here.
touch my nugget balls they are sockets from Japan that fit directly into a 1/4 hex drive impact gun
Benny's Custom Works got a link so we can order some bro?
Do you ever put aftermarket cams in a Barra? What power level is that a consideration?
1000+ hp is really where cans are required.
Hey Benny, at what stage are head studs recommended for FG heads?
Generally you upgrade the studs at around 330-350kw
The Stone you are ”machining” the block surface with is it a knife sharpening stone? And what grit is recomended for block to head surface?
Yes it is from my local hardware store, i’ll need to check the grit.
Benny's Custom Works awsome 👍
Do you not worry about shit going I'm the oil galleries when your stoning the deck?
The sound of bennys beard rubbing against the microphone really gets my motor running x
I'm staying subscribed.... Not reeeaallly
Pretty sure the proper balancer removal tool is the same tool for an ls
Daniel Conte i use this puller on LS Also :D
@@BennysCustomWorks yeah me too :)
Did you say "carnage"?
Bahaha bit rough throwing shade on woodrigues like that.
what timing chain kit is the goto for barras? theres so many brands and prices , whats the most reliable timing chain kit to get?
Atomic
Empire are the go to these days, testing for ages and now in full production.
thanks for the replys !
Are u still running the red top barra from transformer build ?
Randy Logan no, there’s heaps of older vids in our back catalogue putting down and building some of our built engines
@@BennysCustomWorks thanks just curious if that same engine was still going i hope one day to build a 64 falcon futura with barra in it .ive come to fall in love with aussie way of things wish i lived there .im ohio guy .miss falcons
Thanks benny for bein the stig and bein real ill take a look back see if i can find those vids i thought ive seen about all of them .i just dont remember retiring the og barra from cresta .and im glad u ended up with cresta hell u drove it in japan and did majority of build .ill leave ya alone now your busy man
How much for a head wash and services?
Depends on the shop but normally 2-300
wooHoo 3000th like👍
I need torque specs for the conrods... still searching
Note: New bolts and nuts. Step 1: 25Nm Step2: 90 deg (1/4 turn) clockwise.
How much was the motor?
Picked it up so long ago that it’s not really relevant, probably looking at $3500-4k for a fg turbo long engine now
Blue? My eyes need to be adjusted: I thought it was purple.
Vanilla ice cream tubs are proven to be super effective at holding your nuts
Thought I was playing gran turismo 4 for a minute, sounds like menu music.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy
iron and aluminium dont mix well
Temp sensor location is shit, like the thermostat location on a Alloytec V6.. what were they thinking??
I actually spoke to a ford engineer regarding the location, it more or less indicates the cylinder head temp in the combustion chamber.
Do you know the reason why the Barra blocks are not painted?
Oil paint it over time
Just trust in the rust. lol
@@Ricky-nq7lu that is if oil dont leak
Some were. the South African export territories had painted blocks.
Benny, we need a cappuccino hit!
I’m surprised Ford didn’t paint these engine blocks, they look like shit all rusty
So, FB marketplace looks like the best option for selling my BF Gas Barra then.
Scotty from carnage will take it his got an addiction to em or go up the road to maxx performance .........boom and the gas barra is gawn!!!!
Just a comment
Out of interest i build a few of these and there is just one cam shaft listing now from ford and they are $660 trade
After September 2006 camshafts ex and inlet are the same in all barra engines heada are different in the fgx which is the best head by far
So you're replacing a Barra with another Barra?
RR 10 yes.
@@BennysCustomWorks won't the same results also be expected if the original engine was to be resealed?
RR 10 yes, however this means the car won’t be off the road. We’ve also added head studs, oil pump gear + billet backing plate , valve springs, 3582, bigger fuel pump, injectors and intercooler hard piping kit.
Did you not watch the first 30 seconds of the video?
@@MattyFielding6 I did but some things were not clear to me that's why I had to ask. You ever thought about that or are you just seeking attention?
as a engine machinest i cringed whatching you put low spots around your water ways on your deck!!!
Gasket buffer on the deck, amateur.
