zetec turbo question?
I am currently doing a zetec turbo, what i want 2 know is how deep can you drill the exhaust manifold stud holds when re driling the head for a s2 manifold?

I did this on my first Zetec Turbo and would strongly recommend you don't do it. Buy the adaptor plate and make some room for the extra clearance that's needed.
A few of the early Zetec Turbos that were done with drilling and tapping all seemed to have the same problem with oil leaking!
Mine eventually pissed oil from a couple of the studs as they tap into an oil way. Bad idea!
