First time posting one of these and Second post on the forum, Let me know if i screwed anything up =P

Not sure if i need to list this? Bu i don't expect many of you to be familiar with the engine type. I'll also list some of the mods that i think could influence wear.

Seems to be missing a lot of the information you guys usually get?

Viscosity was found low for oil type, Since changed to full synthetic Penrite Racing15 and HE Donaldson filter.
 
You guys have some nice engines down there, especially the I6s.

in 1991, I drove a Falcon with the I6 from Sydney to Canberra, then along the southeast coast to Melbourne. Loved every km of it.
 
Unless it was a 89-1991 model vehicle you were driving then its a high chance it was the same type of engine i'm using at current. XD-XE-XF (mid 70's - late 80's) falcons all used very similar versions of the 250 crossflow engine. The current generation of inline 6 that ford aus put in their falcons is just awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62MLSVIOt8Q
