Default zvh conversion on frst..... oil leaks problems the whole lot

Well what can i say it aint working out for me and is now really doing my head in.......

Done a 2.0 zvh conversion. Supposedly the bottom end had a new set of bottom end gaskets and was running fine.... So ive put the bottom end into my car with my head (which was pressure tested and checked for flatness) and was bolted into the car. Prior to do this all things on my car were working starter, alt, ecu, sensors everything.

AFter droping in the zvh engine the car was being gay... wouldnt start managed to bump start it and we noticed there was an oil leak from the main bearing oil seal..... argh I rang the guy who i got it from and he said he inspected the seal while replacing the other gaskets and it looked okay so he just put it back in

So i got to a new seal and fitting kit from FOrds and got my mate to replace it, the gearbox, clutch, flywheel had to come off. He changed the seal for me and just about started the car back up for and noticed theres a slight leak from the oil filter which was brand new great.... So i got him a brand new oil filter and he changed it for me

Then i noticed the car wouldnt launch only to find out the organic clutch is worn out...... oh my god the car was driving the 1st night we done the conversion when the noticed the main bearing seal leaking and somehow out of the blue the car parked up the clutch just wear out. So ive had to put a brand new clutch in...

And the starters knackerd and the car likes to leak oil from behind the oil filter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can someome pls advise as this is pissing me off

help pls
