Not long mate I stopped work early this evening (2hrs in) due to back ache and having other stuff to do.......usually the maching of the block is what takes the longest, hopefully wont be too long....here's hoping

Tonights update
Block totally stripped, its mint, ready for the machine shop now
Underside view, very similar to the Zetec E really, same oilspray jets etc
Shall we risk Ford rods and pistons, or shall we use Steel H Section rods, ARP bolts and Forged pistons?
PS. Do your own homework on the rods and pistons

Hopefully be starting mine in a few weeks Phil =)....
I'll get reading up on something to ensure mine is moderately better than yours, ......considering I know your spec anyway, as I helped you with it, lol.....
You know I've fallen in love with the Focus engine, didn't want to leave it all alone in the garage last nite.....but was a bit heavy to smuggle home =)

Lee, no im not sure .........300 is what I think it'd see, the engine isnt being built such that 300bhp is the target though . CR was the owners choice.......again, for power lower would have been better, but power isnt everything
He is a NA Focus owner who wants it to be fookin quick, so we came to the conclusion 250+ and nice offboost was a good target

see ya piont mate , just thought u had visions of 350 pluss ,
should have a nice torque curve aswell with his spec which lets face it , means a lot more than shear power in the real world .
