i had a issue with the escos burning oil,i took off the cylinder head to have a look and didnt find any problems.i have replaced the head with a highly ported and polished one using a ferriday gasket.but its still smoking.the problem must be below the piston crown.i have lost interest in the car now,and will not be trying to repair it.some nice parts will be in the for sale section soon.anybody want to guess who supplied the engine?it begins with a and ends with m. only 3 letters?

 

i think i made that question too easy lol

 

shame to here mate.

but even bigger shit is that, that company have done it again

hope people are taking note

 

you carnt break the car mate

you have put too much work into it and when you let me come round to have a look i was very impressed at the work involved

can you not just drop the engine out and take a look whats wrong

if its just a case of rings then a hone and rings and bearings job a good un

 

Seems a bit harsh mate.


What do you want for the fuel pump as my Fiesta needs one

 

Come on lloyd,you cannot break it after all the work thats been done.

get it fixed.

 

Dont break it mate, I want to sort out a cossie S1 / S2 thrash when mines done!


Shame to hear

 

there has come a time when i need to spend some time with my wife and children,i could rebuild the engine,get divorced,and see my kids at weekends ? but is it worth it?not for me iam afraid. it would be nice for someone to buy the shell and complete the car.gutted but being realistic,

 

 

hi there mate can you let me know where abouts you are and how much you want for the car is it still complete let us know some details cheers

 

pics and specs are in the restoration forum,and also pf gallery.

 

Alan- you sure it isn't the WRC spray jets ( if it has them)

Nutter had em on his engine and they caused the same problem for a while when they were fitted- I think he ended up blockin em up to be honest.

Jake

 

Shame.....

But family come before a car

 

it does have them jake, but its only burning oil on no1 cylinder,the others are all ok i just dont have the time or interest to take it apart to find out at the moment.

 

shame, bt hope you get most of your money back.

you buying a car what is reliable then.
