169bhp and 171lb ft of torque. Not a lot when measured with a cosworth yardstick, but it's XR V6 power with 2.0 weight and economy.

And yes, as Dojj said - sloppy pistons because I was a muppet and over-honed the bores when I fitted new rings. Sounds like a knackered diesel when it's cold but OK after a few minutes.

It pulls like a train compared to what it did as even a modified 2.0, so can't grumble - especially as it cost me less to build than reconning the 2.0 that was in there already.
