cheers for the commets will get more pics on soon
put gearbox in it the day was great until the clutch started to slip
the clutch is like new but cant stand the power
that was ok till the brother was driving it a noise started to come from the engine
then i drove it started to smoke so popped the bonnet to find the breather had put oil out over the timing belt there was smoke coming out of it too
so i rang spec one engineering and he told me to start the car and let it tick over for a few minutes and take of the oil cap and if it dies out the engine is ok if it doesnt then the bottom end is fucked so done this and the car dont die out so it pointed to one thing the bottom end is fucked
the brother(hughy) sayed to pulled the head off so i did to find two small round matel things will put pics up the morrow and top of the pistons have small chips will get pics up aswell and when i was buying the car the man told me it had a stage three head has it fuck so taking block out the morrow and get rebuild soon as
and get the head checked aswell
can anyone recommed good parts to rebuild the bottom end with?it has forged pistons
cheers andy

The cars looking well mate. i have a ash black RS1800 and it costs me a fortune to keep on the road, at least with the turbos theres plenty of after market spares, not so many for the 1800`s. i would be tempted to take off those wing mirrors for standard ones of a later model.

It Wasnt Me!
The engine wont die if you take the oil cap off...not on a fiesta turbo anyway, it will on an escort turbo however!!
pistons will have 2 'dents' opposite where the valves would be if thats what you are seeing, but they are meant to be there afaik, on ERST's anyway.
looks nice anyway good luck with the rebuild
