ah, another thing... the pistons are not forged

the block is definately not the asme as the mondeo blacktop, but appears to be the same as the US Focus block. i haven't had a UK focus block yet to compare to though.

the rods are US length too, the small ends are 20mm

all 2.0's have oil spray jets


Why are you using the st170 out of curiosity? are you after monster power?
