A lot of the little bits soon add up too, once you get stuck into it, things like gaskets clamps, aux belt, plugs, filters, etc etc etc

No im not worried about cvh, like you said, thats why i like the idea of zetec as its newer and stronger etc
Realstically id be happy with 200-220 bhp so nothing big, more so just want a reliable engine, whats not going to cost me a bomb to build,
Quick question slighlty of topic, took the head. My cvh last night and poured oil into the bores to see if my rings have gone, how long do i give it before i say wether or not they gone? Cheers bill

Wayne's parts/engineering bill is currently around £1000 including the management he bought when it was still CVH and there's still some things I need to order once the engine is in and I can measure up (hoses etc.)
I would look for c20let pistons, overbore the block to 86mm to use them and fit arp bolts, get the rods modified to work with the vauxhall pistons, frs gaskets and for 200bhp you wouldn't need up rated valve springs, but while its apart its mad not too, fit 1.8 sump, oil pump and pick up too
Devil developments do some really good springs for £150 Ono on ebay (£100 cheaper than blacktops)
Or ...... Go same route as karlos as these are the cheapest routes that actually work and will give you scope for reliability and future mods, especially if your fitting an aftermarket management

Haha for 200bhp lol
I said on the other thread I want to build a fully forged motor for later and use what I got untill then
I was thinking full st170
Forged pistons with around 9-0-1 (for reponse and VVT)
Steel rods
Devil developments springs
Frs gaskets and plugs
Fully lightened and balanced
My gotech pro to activate VVT
And gt28
Mtx
But there's seems there's missed reviews on using the st170 head
