Default Dodgy looking engine on ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ESCORT-RS-...p2056016.l4276

Just been browsing ebay and stumbled upon this, says its a top spec zvh, based on a blacktop zetec block.

I can't see the front breather the blacktop has and cannot see the cps sensor and bracket or even the hole it should fit into.

The oil return looks in a differant place than on a cvh?

What you reckon people?

Looks like a bogo mfi turbo engine to me with a efi rocker cover

If he had spent all that money on it u would put a lot more pics. Take the sump of and show the pistons and rods, arps etc.

seller also has an american tall block 1.9 cvh for sale, looks like he posted the tall block pic instead of the zvh.

Yeah looks like it could be a mix up, seller has 100% feedback too.
