seem cheap enough

rstel1

good price they are well cheap, have to let us all know how you get on if you get one

There's no dish on them pistons at all, CR must be too high!

what would you pay for a brand new ZVH with JE pistons (low comp), stg3 CVH big valve gas flowed head, Kent solid lifter cam and RS1600i solid lifter tappets?

4 valve cutouts if you ever wanted to put on a zetec head!

Just my opinion but i think ZVH is a waste of time, either build a good CVH, or a Zetec Turbo.

thinkin the same thing mate but not sure there is something simlar on ebay for sale

jacko

a mate bought one off ebay as being everything new and sorted and it wasnt so its a good job it was stripped again to make sure cos it was full of fillings from the machining for the breathers

ZVH are good, cheap and more power and toque than a cvh while being around the same price, if not cheaper and easy to build and get bits for.

But the ones on the above site look shit imo Give me £500 and i will be happy to build a 2.1 with forged XE pistons rather than some skimmed cast ones.

They use a Felpro headgasket. Tells me everything I need to know.

Do burtons do all the work for a zvh there only up the road.Ive pulled the 1.6 out and stripped the bay out for a coat of paint and a new front panel have just been considering my options.cheers all

Need to spend money on the head to stop th ewhole car going flat at 5500rpm. Zetec turbo or proper CVH for me.

im running a stage 3 head probably why mine pulls all the way to the rev limit

Yup and a big turbo will help too! (Stage 3 T3, T34 etc..)

Ive heard mixed reactions about that company, so much so i stayed away from them.
Im currently running in a 1.8 ZVH, with a standard head, and to be fair, at this moment in time, i could actually be regretting it!

Right there fella, cant see the point in people wasting time with a zetec bottom end, CVH is good enough and cheaper!! No disrepect to people with ZVH but if it were me I'd rather have a full zetec 2.0ltr turbo.

tunabob

i will give you that to do mine.. need my bottom end rebuilt.. i dont have the time or the tools
