  1. Hello, back in a starlet after selling my old GT 7 years ago. I have bought another GT and in the process of a full engine rebuild. I have found some specs online for the main crank journal bearings but I'm a bit confused.

    Main journal oil clearance:

    STD = 0.016-0.049mm

    U/S 0.25 = 0.017-0.061mm

    Limit = 0.08mm

    I have a polished crank with new std size ACL main bearings measuring 0.050mm using a plastigauge. Are these still in spec?

    Thanks

  2. Hmmm i have a Jperformance mani on my GT and it running @ 0.8bar Have had this on for 2 years now and no problems. BUT my mate has just bought the same mani as you have off ebay and the welds dont look that good. It might crack but if it lasts a while i cant see the harm in buying the cheap ones again as long as it dont happen straight away. At end of the day a good mani is about 200 - 300 anyways

  3. Yea i see exactly where you are coming from and i dont really like fords myself. But what i cant understand is that some of these people saying its Horrible on here but too his face they was saying nice car.

    Anyway the only reason he came up with us was 1. Because he is really thinking about getting a automatic Glanza V (Only done a auto test) and 2. Because i wanted to go up there to see everyone and my GT was off road that weekend. Jus a lil bit ov respect would be nice but yes i can see where your coming from, and yes it is a STARLET website lol.
