Yeah thats pretty much what was said above about the Silvertop rods...hence no point in me going down that route...so far I have spent around £100 and have got

1.8 Zetec engine complete
Exhaust manifold adaptor from zetec to CVH
RST Exhaust manifold
ERST exhaust - not paid for yet
New ERST T3 turbo - 2wd Saph turbine, 360 thrust bearing, .48 exhaust housing, -31 actuator
Jenvey inlet manifold with Esc Cosworth TB - already had
2 litre flywheel and clutch new
Universal intercooler
MTX75 gearbox and conversion kit

Cant remember what else....next big things I need to buy are decomp plate or thick headgasket, Megasquirt MS2, injectors and god knows what else lol

Thank you for confirming the silvertop rods and letting me know what the CR etc is..great help!
