I think you have it backwards.. the CVH bottom end is fine, it's the head that's a piece of shit and eats cams for breakfast.. but of course, increasing displacement is never a bad thing!

thats true, but the zvh bottom end can be good for 220bhp, was told that a zetec bottom end should bolt straight on and that all i had to do was change the headgasket?????

Whoever told you that doesn't know their arse from their elbow..

The CVH and Zetec bottom ends are near identical, the Zetec was based around a CVH........

Its a lot of work to fit a Zetec bottom end, blanking off oil ways, having the face machined flat, blocking breathers, water pump adapter plates, drilling oil returns, modifying engine mounts, if you do a 2.0 litre you have to a get a 1.8 sump and pick up.

If 220 is what you want a CVH will do that easyyyyyyyyyy
