please see pic on the left....

 

from that pic and alot of squinting it looks to be . but get bigger pic for 100% answer matey

 

i knew i should ave gone to specsavers!

i can't tell wtf is wrong there lol!

 

 

im sure the gasket is the wrong one???????????

 

clearly it all needs a good old clean up

 

is that the 1.9 engine build mate

 

its suposed to be

 

yeah it looks like it from the pistons, what head gasket you ordered that also looks like the ones they use on the 2.1 zetec turbos

 

the head gasket is the cvh1.9---1.6 felpro......but it looks wrong to me (water ways)

 

the only thing to me that looks difference is the size of the compression rings which dont matter anyway, felpro make superb gaskets i wouldn't be to concerned about it. have you had the pistons out?

 

no..it came out of a running enginge so im not that fused (mates car) ...do u think its worth a look .all the bores look cool..u think it all looks ok then...surely them waterways shouldnt be like that

 

i think bottomend was made by either volcan engeniring or ...........engine specialist ,,,,,volcan i think

 

what you mean about the waterways dont understand exactly if you mean they are bigger holes under the gasket thats how they are mate. the pistons look like they have det at the back of the piston mine was like that and had had damaged the piston quite bad and lost 2bar compression, every time i went into boost it blew the oil cap off.

 

do u mean the clean patch at the bk

 

yeah its getting hot

 

omg its guna be a chamber of horrors underneath....lol.....i wouldnt be suprised........rings look coolthough

 

did you see the engine running?

 

naah he broke the car because of rot aparently... ........ the shell was rotten though

 

if you decide to take them out and look i can send you a pic of mine and also have some spare so you can replace any nackered ones.

 

really that would be amazing ...ill see what my mate says who puting the engine in 4 me....thanks 4 your help m8 ill keep u in mind

 

what makes an engine "det"folks.....is it to much boost for the amout of fuel

 

yeah plus the timing could be to advanced so instead of the spark igniting the fuel it ignits itself under pressure. air temps can also make it det if to hot. ect

 

when we striped the head fron the block..the cam pulley was directly on the centre of the ajuster..not ajusted either way..he had a frontcooler as well..aparently he had a turbo shiped over fron the states...it was a mothership(saw that on his old engine)....that festa was quick as fuck!!!
