Looking good mate, were the crowns of the pistons thick enough?
The exhaust manifold hasn't been done yet btw, the current welds were way too dirty to reweld. Also the collector tube is pushed in a few cm which will fuck up your exhaust gas flow.
Think the best way to go is redo it when it's bolted to the engine...

Can machine 1 mm more off them and with the thicker gasket i'm coming to a 8.35:1 CR.. good enough.
We'll redo the manifold then when engine is built up..

A little update on my zetec turbo RST.
i didn't plan on taking the engine appart but when i saw dirt in the oil i removed the cams and saw they were damaged due to what i think is sand in my engine :'(
To be sure also removed the rods from the crank and also a lot of deepscratches here,
So decided to get me another set of head,cams and crank.
While i had the head of worked on the new head a little.
Also received my new gt2871 turbo and wastegate an acl bearings.
Hope to put all the goods together ones again soon![Big Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

Hey mate, finally the @ home, all looking good?
Headwork looks properly too, nice work!
Now only the exhaust manifold, and bolting it together right?

Yes a little bit.... Engine has been completely stripped and put another crankshaft in with new acl main and big end bearings.
Head is all built and ready to be fitted.
Exhaust manifold is 80 % welded.
Engine should be back in end of this week.
Also bought some bucket seats to go in.
Will put some pictures up soon.
