all the different couloured cosworth cam covers, whats the deal ?

can somone give me the run down cheers

 

red = 200bhp

green = 300bhp

blue = 400bhp

black = 500+bhp

theyre like those t-shirts you breath on and they change colour... the more power the engine runs, the different colour the cam cover changes

 

i cant mind the exact differences but:

red 2wd saff and 3door
green 4x4
blue escos

Summit to do with petrol types i think

 

yeh thats what I thought mate, can somone tell me what mods are done to run on unleaded or is it a timing mod done by the ignition etc ?

 

Jim, sorry m8, but what a load of cobblers

Now I hope I've got this right after what I said above
Red = 2wd 3door and saff + early 4x4 without cat.
Green = 4x4 sapph with cat
Blue = Escort

Obviously, some people have them painted so you can't guarantee they are correct. I have seen yellow, black and "chrome" which are not standard if I remember correctly.

Now - someone flame me down...

 

thanks

 

Frog,

I believe that was Jim's attempt at humour mate

I think you are right on the cam covers though.

As far as I know the major change for unleaded petrol was bronze valve guides BTW Glen

 

cheers mate thanks, now you have me wondering if the engine I just fitted which is a rebuilt engine from a sapphy 4x4 has got that mod done or not, do all you guys run on super unleaded ?

 

oh please as if i was being serious

green top signifies cat engined cars iirc

green for clean n all that

fookers still cause more polution that about 3000 normal cars put together tho

 

silver top= the best
red earlier 3dr etc
green unleaded saphire etc with cat
blue esc cos

 

You forgot whitey/greyey type colour - small turbo esc cos, but the cam cover is completely different to the others anyway LOL

 

It will do mate, I don't think you can buy anything but bronze guides these days TBH! Yes ALWAYS run on Super Unleaded or Optimax mate

 

Black = Panther Solo

 

cheers Ian, thanks, and thanks to the other lads

 

Mike R does a nice little number in pink

 

Is there any chance that this would fit onto the 'normal' cossies?

I thought green was for the 'k' platers that had the catalytic con thingy and my mates 4x4 saph has blue!

No

 

Sorry Jim, I was having a bad day m8 .

 

Are you sure

You will need longer spark plug leads to come all the way around the back of the engine (as the small turbo has coils on top of each plug.)

 

Yes, the EECIV cam cover has a completely diferent bolting on arrangement and you would need the EECIV head as well .

 

OK then
