My new engine spec what you think......
Right I buggerd my engine up in May (spun shell ). what a great time for it to go 
anyway these are my plans.
1, The head will be ported and the plenum chamber matched to the head but with standard valves, BD14 inlet cam standerd exhaust.
2, The block will be rebored to +50 and have Mahle pistons fitted, I considerd Cosworth pistons but was told they was very noisy and about £200 more.
I have been told to use standard head bolts but Iam not sure if this is best.
I will be using a windage tray and a Group A sump, ARP big end bolts.
3, My head gasket was going to be a thick Cometic gasket but Iam not sur now, maybe I should use a Mountune WRC instead?
4, All the other gaskets on the engine will be Cometic as well ( I have not heard anything bad about them yet )
5, Bosh GroupA fuel pump and will be using A Group A oil pump as well.
6, Injectors will be Xo39's if I can find some or Greys if I can't
7, Turbo will be my T34 or a T34 wih Maram shaft so I can run Anti Lag as well.
8. RS 500 Radtec intercooler.
9, when all run in it will be live mapped.
Iam hoping with this set up to be ablle to do low 12's on the quarter mile. do you think this is possible on this spec ?

PS My car is a Escort Cosworth for those that don't know me.

The head and cam choice is perfect.....BUT watch out as the BD14 will touch the piston unless you have cut outs...std springs will be fine too.
Pistons are fine...BUT if you get genuine cossie racing ones from GGR they are machined and will not be noisey.
At your power level std head bolts will be fine..if you can afford it go long stud though especially when using a metal headgasket as these do require more clamp.
Everything else is fine...and should see a nice solid 400bhp

Hi the head is going to be ported to 26mm on the inlet side, standard on the exhaust.
and the compresion ratio is going to be 7/5/1
cheeRS Dave.
ps P8 ecu with a anti lag baby board hopefully

I forgot to mention I will be using the Graham Goode single air injector as well, would this be as good as twin air injectors?

Before putting my manifold back on, can you explain what probs you've had, as the exhaust manifold gaskets I have to go on are Cometic.....

how do you know i havent tested them
how do you know that i didnt buy a complete cometic gasket set, fit all of them and have the exh manifold blow around the exhaust ports
how do you know i didnt take the manifold off, check the gaskets and find they were like kellogs cornflakes packets pritt sticked together with tin foil
and lastly, how do you know that its not the case of them being thinner.. its actually the QUALITY of the cosworth racing ones compared to the utter shite cometic ones
have YOU actually tested them?

Using the singer air injector is fine.....i supply these babies and can be used singular or dual....and i am sure GGR are using the same gas injector as its the only avalible suitable injector!
Exhaust gaskets just use std Ford Cossie ones..i never had a problem with them.
