My modded 4.3 ECU in my 4.6 is playing around and getting worse.

I tried a 5.0 from a pals chim and all seems fine.

Has anyone got one kicking around?

At least the engine is still fine. At Lydden yesterday there was a TR8 trying out his new RV8 engine that he had fitted solid lifters to. It snapped a push rod after one lap!!!

The owner was remarkably relaxed about it! Couldnt help thinking about your experiences but couldnt see why one would break in the way that it did
