quick update!

turns out that the head has over-sized valaves and is totally undamaged!!!

the pistons are new and undamaged

but the block has 2 holes in side, so i suspect that it has lost all of its oil! so shells will be needed!

the bottom end does still turn over freely however!!
i have a complete zetec sat in a lock up anyway so might split it and re block the zvh!! got a spare turbo at work too!!

anyone twigged onto where this is going!!!
