Not bad is it!

You can go to the top of the class if you can guess what happened.

If I'm not mistaken there are 600bhp Zetecs in Rallycross cars ?

Nothing like using something modern for a change rather than bolting on every extra you can find in the cosworth spares forum on PF

Ok.

It was a wrong collet retainer combination.

The collets on one valve (cyl 4) had pulled through the retainer

Result, one Z shaped valve!

So for zetec builders everywhere be aware there are different spec collets and caps across the zetec engine range.

Also there are different valvesprings. Some are economy crap that should never be revved past 6.5k
