I'm currently building an old daily screamer! Far from new into this kind of build, my last 2 retros were a 5.0L mk1 cortina and a 1.6 cvh turbo 1958 100E....My other current ride is a 1947 ford coupe.

My collection of parts is almost complete for this ones build with the following already bought.

2.0L zetec blacktop
MT75 sierra gearbox
Fiesta turbo loom, ECU etc
T3 turbo with my own adaptor plate
Rover 820 inlet with my own adaptor plate
Stage 2 superchip
Various injector sizes

My question.....
I'm looking to lower the compression ratio using a compression plate. I'm after feedback from readers as to 2 head gaskets or 1 with high temp sealant, and what material to use for the decompression plate, s/s or aluminium?
Are there any build ups on here with photos, and what life expectancy can I expect of head gaskets if fuelled right running 1bar of boost?

Will be a fun build looking for 250bhp+ whilst weighing a mere 600kg

Thanks, Scott
