had a little visit from mr waples the weekend.
he has finished my escort cosworth head to just over his usual 500 spec as to leave room for more power in the future
hes done the head, valves, new guides, matched inlet, few mods to my rs500 plenum, elbow and throttle body too
few pics
exhaust
inlet
head and inlet
small update, but big step forward to getting the engine going.
will be washed, assembled and put aside until bottom end is built
thanks nick!!!

Because I'm going with a certain theme of which it dosnt match. By doing so I am loosing out on around 20bhp which is a shame but I've decided what I'm doing and sticking with it.
I want what would have been the best back in the 80s/90s so t4 with 8greens is where I'm at
I do plan to go onto a custom inlet with tubular exhaust manifold etc with a lump more power but that will be some time in the future!
