lathe up some taperd bars to press fit in to the oil ways.

or use a 1.9cvh head gasket and that blocks them off fine.

get a 1.8 engine out of a escort mk5, then get the water pump plate a 1.3 tensioner mod a few pipes here or there and make a oil return for the turbo and thats it

u dont need to block oil ways off in the head just use a felpro headgasket

Use the full 16v whats the point of ZVH? Costs more to build than the 16v.

If your using MFi management obviously this is not so easy
