this car is taking the piss. heads coming back off. decomplate is the reason for the oil leak so gonna build the engine right this time. new pistons and that wasted a lot of time and money on people say this and that. when know 1 has a fucking clue. from what i worked out out if i use back top pistons and rods this will give me my comp right and i can still run 15psi fine witch is good a nuff for me. last chance sallon or it gets scraped fingers crossed

Have a crack at doing the ST170 bottom end and blacktop head, I've built one for my mk3 and Karlos is having good results with his.
I dont think mine owes me more than £400!

Thats how I'm doing mine, just costing a bit more, as I got a new head and a cometic gasket due to the ford gasket been on back order forever.

realy want to keep the sliver top engine engine due to having it in the car for over 4 years and throwing more money at it than a nuff. but if i have to i bit the bulit and do it that way unless i spend £600 on pistons. (bye bye cossy)
