Low comp is just nothing then BANG imo i don't like that very dangrous for a car nearly stacked my S2 a few time's like that!
lol well im hoping to get a bit more when its done but as learnt from these forums i aint getting optomistic like someone (d4rst) lol well the guy said to me they were normal compression but they look like they are low comp but im unsure realy.... if i find it realy laggy it will end up with anti lag on it anyway lol.

but im chuffed anyway as when i worked it out i should have paid 5500/6k plus labour lol but i saved a lot anyway.

another question is i need a head gasket and alot of people say genuine ford are the best is it true.

I'd guess that is down to the head porting mostly? We know stock manifolds are good for 350+ (not to say they cant be improved of course), what cam was that on?
Although as John says his head was Stage 3 (but thats normally big valve John?!), so maybe the manifolds make more of a difference than we think?!

Power gear's will sort you out fitted and remove your slipper and use it in the IB5 etc etc (brand new) box of the crate for shy of Ł500

Good deal IMO
does it fit straight in or will it need fabrication ect to fit a s1 as im not realy likeing the idea of cuting it about but if it is a straight fit then i will have it as i had one in a s2 and never got a problem and the gearing is much better

loooking good mark i have seen your car on seriesone looks good and running 250ish in a lightish shell is quick mine has between 225 and 250 in my s1 , mine has a watercooled t35 turbo 360 degree thrust bearing and fifth injector,chargecooler etc 2 stage boost 10psi and 20 psi and its quick enough for an old school front wheel drive car as personally i think more than that its just spins up the wheels and puts a massive strain on gearbox,mine is good enginewise but unlike yours the bodywork is not brill and getting attention atm looking forward to getting it back good luck mark
