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.

Thanks for the brilliant video mate, awesome quality, no wasted time, excellent editing, very useful information. 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.

@EverythingFuzzY 2 года назад

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it. 1 million km shouldn't be an issue at all! Good luck with it.

Awesome video dude, well done for taking the time and actually showing the results. Maybe look into the block differences, like water outlet on fg (left hand rear) and do the engine mounts interchange?.

Great video. Really informative. It’d be great to see a similar video comparing the BA,BF, and FG silver top engines. 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.

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

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 года назад

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 ..

@@EverythingFuzzY one thing I’ve struggled finding a picture of is the Barr’s engine number location. I’m building a bf xr6t for circuit work which is supposed to have a green top in it, trying to identify if it actually is. Great info on the bf block having both front and rear dipstick provisions

@cliffharrington6500 2 года назад

Nice video, my favourite motor is the BF, really nice torque curve at low rpm, max torque is at 2500rpm and all the way to 2500rpm is producing more torque than the FG motor in stock form petrol homologation. FG produces slightly more torque but this is produced at above 3000rpm only.

Gday mate fantastic video.just what I was looking for the truth. I'm a proud owner bf green.top barra 06 model ute. 333,000ks on the clock in years ive had it use penrite oil.only harmonic balancer to rear main seals have been done and motor runs like gem. Very happy with yr disabling the motors very interesting and well explained.

@EverythingFuzzY 2 года назад

Nice! Thanks for watching.

@grantreid8583 2 года назад

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 ?

It is a terrific video....assuming you are overseas by your comments...Some don't know there is another amazing inline Ford straight six available and also capable of huge upgrading ..It's actually what the Barra evolved from and concluded in 2002 .. It was /is the 4.0 SOHC Intech .... Bottom end essentially the same as Barra but the head is single overhead cam and a few other differences ..I have an FG XR6 N/A Barra and an AU Futura with a beautiful sweet running Intech...love them both

@MRMOPARMAN0426 2 года назад

Good vid. There goes the cheap BA motors! Didnt happen to measure the head gaskets thicknesses did you? Also, i think you will find those oil leaks were from the power steering pumps. They are infamous for leaking, and they leak down onto the alternator, which slowly kills them and spreads the oil to the timing case.

Unbelievable lol.

@grantreid8583 2 года назад

yea true i am an engine reconditioner that got out of the trade before the barra came along,. I now work in a place with a large workforce mainly males and it is funny to sit back and listen to blokes that really have no idea about engines dribble shit. A lot of the older common stuff even after decades i still have crank journal sizes bore sizes etc stuck in my head lol. i have a saying football and cars are the same everyone is an expert. My experience tells me that the bottom end of the ford 6 cyl is far more durable than anything around as the engine blocks seem to be made from better material hence the reason ford taxis could do such high ks. The internet is a great source of misinformation even magazines i read sometimes have mistakes about engines that were in some of our cars from the seventies and eighties.

The first part of the number is the design or production year, 1R = 2001 AU2 (yes the NA rods are the same as AU2), 3R = 2003 BA, 5R - 2005 BF, 7R - 2007 FG (also 8R), AR - 2010 MKII (A=10 in hexadecimal).
