Hi lads,

I'm in a state of morning


Looks like my engine is dead.
I had over heating problems which can't be sorted out (well I could use an electric water pump), it because the standard CVH water pump can't flow enough water until the engine is at 1500rpm.

Also the turbo oil return is too small in the block and there is a build up of oil pressure causing oil to blow through the turbo seals and it blows the oil return hose.

And because my ZVH engine is an early build one, the Accralite pistons have a problem, the skirts are to thin and over heat, this causes them to expand and sieze in the bore.


I'm thinking about building a 2.0ltr twin cam Zetec turbo and doing it myself so i know its done right and not hand it to some over charging shonky engine builder.
