hi again
just put a conrod out the side of my block nasty iwas thinking of going down the zvh rought good or bad idea what can standerd rods hold iv been told 13-14psi whot other week sides the cvh got block wise as im only wanting 185bhp on may be 13psi?//anyone got any ideas as ineed her back on the road again ????

 

who told you that?

 

some one i know who works at ford but he also added that they can take more but evrything has there limets ????why what can they hold or not?chears

 

A CVH will do 180bhp all day long.

Without going into masses of detail the weaknesses in a CVH are are the rods in terms of strength, but you would be looking to change these at around 250bhp. Before then you will need headwork etc etc.

 

standard rods are good for up to 250 bhp! so being as you only want 185 they will be fine!

 

what boost should this be set at would 14-15 be ok what safe what about head gasget will stander be ok or will ineed a nother one etc and what head bolts shpuld be used???thanks for the replys

 

would be safe up to 18 psi as long as your metering head has been modded to provide the extra fuel needed. you cant actually get much better than a genuine Ford head gasket!

 

ok then so staying standed on these parts are ok so will the clutch be ok and shall i get rid of the bleed valve ithink this has couse this prob anyway how do you mod the meter unit???thanks

 

metering unit will need to be modded by a professional tuner and you would be better off with an uprated clutch!

 

ok then that it will be thanks for all your help been grate stuff chears
