has anyone got any info on this head belived to be 16valve cvh
its my mates head

 

Made by Schrick (iirc). Very very rare!

 

you have any more info mate, i think he wants rid of it as it sat in hes garage
for years

 

there was a feature on a 16v cvh escort in PF a while back.

very rare item

 

Problem is getting the rest of the bits

 

i remember this i think there was an engine in a mk3 escort, from what i remember it said there were a few prototype 16v cvh engines made at boreham but the plug was pulled on the project and the engines were ordered to be destroyed but a few of the tecs 'looked after' a few of the parts, so if thats what u got there it is only the second one known in existance

 

i'am sure he got the specs of the other bit,s ,cam and valve
the only problem was the cam covers but i think zetec are close enought
to mod ,not sure on manifolds could be made

any links ,what mouth in pf was it i'll see if i can get it

 

doesnt look the same to me

your right it doesnt, but iirc ford built their own 16v head personally id ring boreham an see if i could speak to someone lol

 

isnt boreham shut?

 

only 1 known complete schrick head in existence as far as i know
complete with cams and rocker cover and valves
think there was only five built ?????

 

not last time i drove past it wasnt, or it certainly didnt look it that was bout 2 months ago

 

Sure theres discussion on other boards to suggest 3 heads survived. Would they be any good other than the novelty factor?

 

boreham shut in late 1999 and all the staff moved to m Motorsport in Northampton iirc and what was left of the racing puma parts went to daventry

 

what a wanker i am! i was meant to say dunton!! i only live a few miles away too so u would think i kno the name of the place lol

 

hell yeah they would be good

i would love one but unless complete i think it would cost a fortune to source everything else needed

 

interesting, would make a good glass top table like on top gear

 

Surely newman would be able to grind some cams up and followers? What else other than head gasket would be hard to source? Inlet manifold wouldnt be any more difficult than your current one for example. Suppose a bit of development would have to go in to the cams to know what profile works best with the different characteristics of the head. Makes you wonder why they didnt carry the programme on?

 

looks very similar to a zetec head apart from the inlet ports and the the rocker cover gasket would have to be 2 piece from what i can see

 

my moneys on early prototype zetec

 

either way its never going to run again without ALL the bearing surfaces/follower guides being re-machined to get rid of all the pitting, a skim etc etc. its a good keepsake though

 

The Schrick 16-valve CVH complete engine was in a Mk3 Escort we featured on my last proper edition of - PF Jan 2009.

Proper car with an amazing bit of history under the bonnet.

The 16-valve design was produced by Schrick and presented to Ford only for Ford to say we've kinda already done it; "Look it's called the Zetec".

That basically killed their program off so they only had a handful of parts cast etc.

Over time the complete build of parts were 'removed' from the premises so to still have something from that event is extremely rare... and also as has been said, would be a pain to bring back to life, too.

 

this is the schrick head. looks completely different to me so god knows what this one is.

The casting number X928M 6049 ? does look like a Ford number.
"6049" is certainly the Ford identification number for cylinder head casting/part numbers.

The inlet side does look experimental with the small and large intake valves, as well as the corresponding large and small inlet ports. A fuel economy design for sure.

 

don't think it would be much of a problem to have the bits made up

i had a set of billet cams and valves ,buckets made for my rovert16
had lot more lift on the cams i had to machine the head for bigger diameter buckets
so it can be done

it not that pitted a skim on the head face and the buckets diameter are clean
combustion chambers can be cleaned up ect

any one got any idea what it could be worth

thanks for the info so far

 

i think its not so much how much your head is

its how much would it cost to ge it in a car and running

 

dont see the point in using it when there are plenty of proven zetec heads out there.

 

I'll start the bidding at £50

 

I think this is zetec head...

 

just remember... two heads is better than one

 

because it rare and if it goes in the bin no one will see it again
it not about how proven it is mate just no one else would have one in there rs

but like you said zetec head an easer job

 

i never said bin it lol! make a feature out of it was my original statement

 

This sure is NO Schrick CVH 16V head!

 

head looks good in that link on that cvh engine,wonder if it would have made much difference to the power output over the 8v head

 

Hi there, still looking for some information regarding this head? Or file closed?
