This also requires your metering unit to be in good condition of course but so does the ZVH conversion!
its all swings and roundabouts mate but imo the zvh is much better to drive, so much more torquey and feels less laggy, and anyway its got to be worth it to get rid of the dreaded cvh sump gasket woes
Plus i wouldnt have done the conversion if my bottom end wasnt tired, i had to make a decision i already had most of the right bits, stace 3 head high lift cam, front mount, stage 2 hybrid etc so i decided to go zvh and im happy with the results, if i wanted 300 bhp i would have gone the full zetec plus managment and certainly wouldnt be pissing around struggling to make it with a cvh
