Not good news, I asked him to change the cambelt and tensioner, and found that someone had fitted the tensioner too high and also cut some from the back of it to fit water pump??

Anyway it looks like the engine may have to come out to be done properly as you just cant get to that area to work on it.

Glad I got them to change it tho, or I may never have known about it apart from when the tensioner died and took the engine with it

May have to hang fire on the water injection now...

Onwards and upwards eh?

 

who built the engine? hope there weren't more corners cut, lot of zvh's are bodged

 

Burtons did initial build.........

 

shockin, jus shows you never REALLY know how well a cars built unless you do it yourself !!

 

how come the tensioner was fitted high, i didnt think the tensioner needed to be moved on zvh's!?

 

And people wonder why I hate the ZVH

 

All ZVH's are bodged!! Thats what they are!! A CVH head bodged to a Zetec block!! Some are just bodged together better than others!!

 

Dunno, just asked him to do what he see's fit.

 

Daz, well I suppose when you say it like that

Liked my zvh though, most of the time
