Nearly as much bad luck as me mate. at least you have the facilities and know how to do it yourself. Be good to see some pics when it's done.

Well...

Back together - going to have a final spanner check tomorrow morning and then it's in with the fluids and fire up time

blacky. · 02-10-2008, 05:44 PM

good going mate

pani_k · 02-10-2008, 06:10 PM

Fingers crossed!

RichieST · 02-10-2008, 08:36 PM

nice one will, you don't hang about do you!!! What is the paint you have used on the rocker cover? Looks great

COCHYN · 02-10-2008, 10:13 PM

Respect mate, your probably on par with Andy and the Streetracers crew when it comes to a tight time schedule! Fair play!

How's it run?

Real nice so far

Taking a drive down Portsmouth way this weekend to try and find any running faults

COCHYN · 03-10-2008, 01:41 PM

Wicked pal! Well impressed with your perseverance!

Will Pedley · 04-10-2008, 07:11 PM

Well - she's done over 100 miles now and all seems well - going to need a quick map check before Oulton as there are a couple of lean spots now - can only think the freshen up has helped efficiency in places...

Few photos i've just had chance to upload - nothing special

The old vernier pulley - you can see the wear on the edges of the teeth - seeing as i had my brand new verniers left over from my monster engine build - made sense to put one on i thought!

How things looked first thing Thursday morning - all the bits ready, new head gasket, head bolts, gaskets, seals etc. etc.

And i decided to knock a little something up for the oil breather as the original setup was showing its age, hose pulling out, leaking oil etc. etc.

Apologies for me being rubbish with taking pics - but i didn't take any pics between putting the head back on:

And this!

However - all is well, she's up and running and done 100 miles of mixed driving and all appears fine so far

pa_sjo · 04-10-2008, 07:39 PM

Good stuff getting it back running so quickly!

Interesting to show the wear on the pulley.. unfortunately they all do this, and pretty quickly too!! Best to go for a steel-toothed pulley (with an aluminium centre section if you want)..

Did you baffle that breather plate on the other side?

Not directly baffled - i didn't have time - want to see how it behaves first - what i have done though is reduced the hole size - instead of a 10mm hole all the way through - the hole is 8mm and offset to the top.

I have considered the concept of it oil surging under braking - but with the size of the hole and the angle of the fitting/hose - i imagine it will quickly return.

It's a vast improvement on the original setup - that was pouring smoke out after a short burst of spirited driving!

adwatkins0118 · 05-10-2008, 04:33 PM

nice car bet it sounds fantactic!

COCHYN · 05-10-2008, 07:29 PM

Cracking work will, i look forward to passing you on the 8th

nah, well happy you got it back together in time. Nice upgrades too!

Fudgey · 05-10-2008, 08:27 PM

looking good mate, sounds like you've busted your balls getting it done!

ps, that breather plate is pretty much how mine is, but mine isnt offset lol.

dont forget tho that my engine is the other way round, and i got a baffled sump so oil surge shouldnt be a worry

Busted my balls? Understatement of the week mate! I'm shattered!

Fingers crossed Oulton will be fun

Benni · 06-10-2008, 02:04 AM

I should be their, throwing oil on the track as you pass.

Seriously, best of luck Will.

Benni.

Will Pedley · 09-10-2008, 12:49 PM

Well - Oulton Park was awesome!

Car is a true weapon on track - fell in love with it all over again

Was passing Saph Cossies and Focus RS's for fun

Did 35 laps yesterday in 5 lap bursts - found the oil temps to be hitting 120 after 5 laps and then leaking a noticable amount of oil when parked in the pit garage.

I suspect i'll whip the engine out over winter and drop a new set of big end and main bearing shells in and reseal the sump.

Other than that - all is well

carlo · 09-10-2008, 12:53 PM

Looked & sounded great on track yesterday mate

And what's this...

The first parts for the new oil cooling and breather system....

Might just be

Well unfortunately, you always made excuses about "oil leaks" when I was on track, so we were never on the same time

But it was a shame about the leaks mate, glad you still got to turn some heads

That's some nice bit of carbon goodness pal, lets hope it helps

woolford · 11-10-2008, 07:25 PM

nice looking bit of kit...

Will Pedley · 11-10-2008, 09:09 PM

And here's the in car video of Oulton - only a few laps sadly!

Lambchop · 17-11-2008, 01:02 PM

just found this and realised you have the same bonnet as on the frs i bought on sat. glad i'm not alone

Luca · 17-11-2008, 02:05 PM

madmack99 · 19-11-2008, 03:39 PM

really like the look of this focus

RichieST · 19-11-2008, 08:08 PM

nice vid will, looked like fun!

Will Pedley · 26-11-2008, 09:26 PM

Right!

I'll keep this updated as often as i get time - but i'm hoping to have the whole project completed by the end of January at the latest to give me 3 weeks shakedown time prior to a trackday at Beford in February

The car will be doing plenty of track days/ring trips etc. so there will be a LOT of overengineering

So, we'll start with the progress to date

Picked up a complete ST170 engine and gearbox:

And got myself somewhere suitable to do the work:

And so it begins:

And i finally got what i wanted from it! The block and crank!

Few leftovers

A 'few' boxes have arrived already - i'll get photos as and when i can

COCHYN · 26-11-2008, 09:31 PM

Cracking matey, hope you still have that nice inlet you can maybe adapt to the new engine

Will Pedley · 26-11-2008, 09:41 PM

Cockend - how on earth do you expect me to get roller barrel throttle bodies in there as well as the supercharger! Nugget!

Drop me a text later about Modball

COCHYN · 26-11-2008, 09:45 PM

Well I'm sooooooooo sorrrrry, didn't think the hoover would be going on this new engine build

Just scrap it and turbo it, done!

I replied to your text the other day!

AquariousRS · 27-11-2008, 12:14 AM

So whats the plans Will? Just using the lower mileage bottom end?

RichieST · 27-11-2008, 11:07 AM

Good luck with it will, will be keeping my eye on this

hai07222 · 27-11-2008, 04:45 PM

Good luck with the build!

Will Pedley · 28-11-2008, 11:04 AM

Few parcels arrived over the last few days:

Contents include:

Some bits for the engine build:

Some custom ground billet CAT Cams for the new head:

Some RATHER sizeable custom 6pot APs: (see fag packet inside disc!)

And some super lightweight custom offset Compomotive rims for them to live under

Got to say a big thank you to Martin @ Reyland for his time and help with the brakes/rims

COCHYN · 28-11-2008, 12:37 PM

Look very lush matey, now get rid of the hideous bonnet and you'll a top notch motor all round

xxx

AquariousRS · 28-11-2008, 01:16 PM

Liking the new brakes. 362 or 355?

Fudgey · 28-11-2008, 03:36 PM

top stuff will, stu must be paying you too much lol

just out of interest, do you know if the st170 cam cover will fit the silvertop head?

if it does, please let me know!!

Charlie Chalk · 28-11-2008, 05:14 PM

It won't fudge, My mate is sticking a ST head onto a silvertop and the camcovers don't swap, as hes got a quipped silvertop one that he wanted to go onto a ST, but it won't!

Will, Cool car, keep the updates coming

patalrob · 28-11-2008, 07:17 PM

Nice numbers with the powerworks setup!

I had picked up the very last powerworks from CFM. All I have left is to get it tuned.

Keep up the great work!!

BTW: What kind of boost are you seeing with the BBK??
