To be fair the power i got from the zvh is only an estimate, it was probably restricted by the limited advance curve of the distributor. Also bear in mind it was a 1.8. Some 1.8 Zetecs only make 115 bhp.


Im now running a 2.0 Zetec on bike carbs which is standard apart from a 4 branch and stainless exhaust. I would say it is around the 160 mark and the difference over the ZVH is amazing


I dont think the CVH kills the power, more that its old technology now and the Zetec heads flow much better
