My own engine currently uses the standard crank, steel forged H section conrods, Cosworth forged pistons, stainless steel big valve ported head, Kent CVH36 cam.....
I'll post some pictures of the rods and pistons later...
What was the displacement and bore sizes of the yb engines? Were the pistons a direct swap to your 1.6l bore size or did you have to increase the block bore?
Got any good shots of the cvh36 kent cam? You guys utilise hydrolic lifters or solid lifters, or swap over to solid lifter setup? How about applications where you had to modify the cvh36 to use a camshaft positioning sensor? Do you think kent, piper, or any other cvh camshaft producer will custom make one with this cps?
pulled from feoa:
Our SPI intake valves are 44.14mm in diameter, where the exhaust valves are 36.98mm. The 1st gen escort's 1.9 ho (similar layout to your rs series 2) has 41.96mm intake and 37.06mm exhaust.
