Twins I was thinking of goin with an aftermarket rev counter because its just a case of wiring it up and they look quite nice on the dash. I'll stick with the standard inlet unless I see a cheap steel one goin spare.
I was thinking of makin some very basic mods to the engine before it goes in just to improve response as in a minor rebuild i.e bearings and seals gaskets and timing belt etc. I will probably get my cousin to do some light headwork and have the head skimmed and some 3 angle valve seats, a reworked mondeo 2 litre throttle body and an air filter so pretty basic stuff.
Any other suggestions for light upgrades?
Cheers
As i said, over the years of messing about with mk4's, never had a problem with shafts. Even the 4 speed ones fit in 5 speed boxes and vice versa.
Would deffo recommend putting a timing belt kit on while engine is out, as its pretty tight when its in! a 4 branch manifold makes a massive difference on a zetec if you can afford it the now.
