Got most parts together now, just waiting on some machining and i'll take pics and do a "diary" of the engine build as we go

Heres a few parts;


Nice Rover 820 inlet manifold....side entry so no boost pipes accross the rocker cover, also port shape is almost exactly the same as the zetecs, (as opposed to using a CVH EFi inlet where the port shape is wildly different). Will be modded to accept an EECIV throttle body soon, I will ahve to CAD & Laser Cut a few plates to allow it to fit, no worries


3 Layer Metal "WRC" type Headgasket.


86mm Mahle Forged Pistons, will be fitted to standard, but shot peened Zetec E conrods


More pics soon as soon as i pickup the block, exh manifold adapter plate, rover inlet adapter plate, rocker cover etc.
