Hello!My name is jörg and come from germany.I have a rs from 87 in grey metallic.In this year i will finished the overhaul.
One of the biggest problem is to collect all the parts that ford no more deliver today.
On a german escort site we have a big discussion referring the exhaust valves.A book from england for overhaul the cvh engine say that the exhaust valves are generally sodium filled.But you can by original exh.valves from manufacturer mahle without sodium only.I don´t now if i can rework my old valves.I will ask my engine rebuilder.But if i need new valves i have a big problem.Burton sells only valves without sodium.In ouer german escort site we are different views concerning this item.Maybe one of you can help or have experience with this problem.I will not destroy my rebuild engine if i install the normal valves.
