hi there people sorry to bother you but i need the answers to these questions pretty quick if possible ok

1) ive just ordered a kent cam cvh22 and vernier pulley are these easy to fit or am i thinking best to leave to proffesionals and get it tuned after.

2) ported and polished head is this a worthwhile thing to do on my 1.6s will it make a difference

3) what is the best brake disc pad combo to go for i was thinking greenstuff pads but dont know about the discs?

4) what is the best set of leads and spark plugs should i go for

5) Does anybody do any hoses for a cvh engine as mine are looking a bit tacky now and could do with replacing

mmmmm thats about it for the moment anyway all your help is appreciated cheers ladz and gals

Hello,
I thought i would answer a couple of your questions

1: Leave this to a proffesional, better safe than sorry unless you are skilled in mechanics. I'm not, but i have seen some rough DIY jobs done on cars

2: Getting the head ported and polished really helps a naturaly aspirated engine. It is worth getting done, especially as you are changing the cam.

3: I use greenstuff pads and their discs and find they cope very well, change your brake hoses at the same time for some s/s braided hoses and you will notice a good difference in your cars braking.

4: I use NGK R sparkplugs on my car with Magnecor leads. You will not get any performance gain from Sparkplugs and HT leads. I bought the Magnecor leads as they last longer than the Ford leads.

5: Samco will probably do hoses for your car, if you want different coloured hoses. Or just goto your local Ford dealer and get new ones

Hope this helps

cheers

About the brakes, I've got some greenstuff pads on mine and a couple of other extra bits, give us a bell and you can have a go, see what you think.

the only question i can try and help with is the brakes one - i have greenstuff pads and ebc drilled and grooved discs and i highly recommend them - but give them a fair bit of time to bed in properly (bit longer than standard ones)

thanx fezzy turbo and xr2 babe seems quite a few people have this combination think thats what im gonna go for need to sort them out before my cam kit comes any body else have any suggestions

sent you a mail with it mate, how about some brakes off a larger ford? like an rs2000 or cosworth? quick trawl around the rsoc bb classifieds might throw something up.
