as mine is dirty and cracked (not leaking ..YET!)


just wondered, oh and price

 

Heater or header
If header no but a 4x4 one can be made to fit and these are still available

 

how do i make them fit, what's different??


anyone got a pic???

 

Spiky,

Try asking DOO by PM......Being a Ford parts man he is v good at finding these things

 

dont fancy a bufty shiny one then?

 

will do doug


no

 

not even mine

ELEPHANT TANK!

 

Spiky - surely it will start to bulge and eventually start leaking due to the uprated power.

Just get a bufty and dont clean it - just like mine

 

PMSL @ Ryan.. nooooooooooooooooooooooo chance


Ran, sadly, i've started to cleaning things

like here is my engine as of last night

 

spikemeister what have u been upto mate? .. i seem to have missed some things?

 

2wd tank no longer avab

1659805 4wd tank £21.39 +vat

you have to use a modd water hose as well 6553673 £42.45+vat

 

I've got one sat in the cupboard at home, all nice and clean. Ford told me I needed an extra hose with my one to make it fit my 4x4........... but they were talking out of their arse

 

just chnaged the Head gasket dude, but i've also been cleaning loads of stuff too



DOO, cheers dude

 

aaah ok so what gasket are u using now ?

 

what have you got a 2wd or 4wd ???????

 

One that'll fit mine so 4x4 I guess..... was the only version they had on microfiche.

 

was a grp a on there, but was leaking.


i have now put a grp A back on

 

 

well of course a 4wd will fit a 4wd :blonde:

 

cool cool

 

or you can keep the 2wd water hoses and get an adapter made up



v old pic and crap quality but you get the idea

21.4mm od and 7.88mm id



and no i aint got it no more pal or i would have sent it you gratis

 

cheers matt,

thats what i was looking for

4wd it s then

 

Does/would this actually happen? I’m not quite sure why running a more powerful engine would overstress the radiator/cooling system header tank? Has it ever happened to anyone?

Would someone like to explain?

Didn’t Martin Hadland run a normal plastic header tank in his Escort?

 

bttt

 

i have seen quite a few start bulging due to the extra pressure - once over 300 bhp.

My old one had started to bulge and you could see it contract when you left the pressure out.

 

more power = more heat

martin also probably ran a fuck off large capacity alloy rad
