Part of the reason to go all Zetec is because with allowing my CVH head to rev to 7500 it has suffered oil starvation and partly worn away 2 solid followers! meaning the cam is dead, it also has chiped the top of 3 valves!

Bassboy-
The block has been taken out to 86mm to remove the score and is still at the machine shop, pistons are still been made, got a new type of head gasket coming made of resin and steel rings(dont know a lot about it yet), my big valve ST170 head is at the cam builder for a new cam and valve train. I think I will try old turbo again but not sure it will flow enouth air, larger capacity intercooler is yet to be sorted, inlet manifold is still to be made, using a Jamsport tubular exhaust manifold, have started the Gatrag box instalation, still to convert the clutch to hydraulic.
So have a bit of work to do.

Simon.
