i want to get some from the usa i know there is a lot for black tops but cant find silver top ones

 

theyre fine for the silver top as long as you use the black top rods with the black top pistons.

problems arise when you try and mix black top and silvertop parts, as the black top rods are longer than silver top and the pistons are shorter

 

cool

 

no most of the zetec engines are black top so the rod and piston companies cater for this market..

i'm using black top rods and pistons in a sliver top block.

ok comp question if a piston set makes a 16v zetec 9.0:1 what will it be if its a 8v zvh

 

8:5:1 i had to end up using a de-comp plate but will be doing away with the de-comp with a head gasket from italy which will give me a c/r of 8:2:1

thanks

sean

 

aint 8:5:1 low enough?

 

roosie brom built the engine he made the c/r what he thought was best.
