hey people, its beeen a long time since i have been on here

bought a 2.0 silvertop the other week to build up and use as a track car, the engine had a suggested milage of 70k. its either going in a fiesta si/mk2 fiesta or maybe, maybe a puma :/ lol

this is a learning experiece for me having never rebuilt an engine and my knowledge being mainly around the zetec-se engines. Im sure i will have loads of questions which im sure you people will point me in the right direction

anyway pics...

Good luck with the project mate, I opt for the mk2 fiesta!

cheers, ive been thinking, i rekon the first pic is of a breather and the second...fuel pressure regulator maybe?? hmmm lol

first one is breather. 2nd one is part of the EGR...Bin fodder i think youll find! the fuel pressure reg is normally near or on the injector rail.

hope that helps.
Jam.

i dont need the egr then? either block off the standard manifold or just use aftermarket?

right better pull my finger out and order gaskets, rings rtc

is it true i can use the st170 headgasket as it is triple steel layer for cheapish price from ford?

or whats the best headgasket in your oppinions ??

ta alex

did a little more today, pistons out etc

only thing is i fucked up the thread on the crank where the flywheel bolts to it have to get that machined for a new thread, just hope i can find the right size flywheel bolts after the thread is made bigger

good work mate shame about the thread hopefully should be an easy fix though keep up the good work

i quick question people... do the 1.4 SI share the same engine mounts as the 1.6? e.g will the 2.0 drop straight in a 1.4.

need to get a move on with this project as the ford pooma just blew its headgasket

update

slight change in direction...

ive sent the crank off for re-tapping

getting the block bored to 2.1cc and breathers done

rover turbo inlet

focus rs turbo exhaust mani

c20let pistons on the way...

Sweeeeet like the sound of the turbo plans

Nice one mate, getting there

cheers, need to start looking at info on modding the rover inlet to fit etc.
also
wether to fork out for steel rods or use the originals on the c20let's

only want around 200bhp though

I would get steel rods if I was you mate, better to be safe than sorry.

You'd be gutted if she gave up on you a couple of months after finishing her
