Hi Mark!

Was missing the cambearing that holds the vvt. Unfortunately because the head is line-bored the part is unique to the head.

The valve spring compressor I purchased, and got a refund today now ive finished with it

Curses, Ryan. Curses!

With the steel stripped it should weigh in for £30 ish. It's left me with unfinished throttle bodies and no money to spend on mapping

[jonyb4]

lol at the refund!

ive done similar things in my time

[~nomad~]

lol, Brian you pikey. Still not sure I would strip and scrap the other head, those bits are almost certain to turn up if you do!

Ahh I can't remember the specifics of the ST head, it's been a while since I had one apart - is it the bearing cap/oil seal end you're missing?

If yes, see if you can get hold of another one, have a couple of thou milled from the bottom so it's a tight fit, then get the lot line bored. Line boring is around £50 locally to me, and the milling can't be more than £20 - would it make financial sense at those prices?

lol @ the refund of the valve tool after getting use of it.

I once took back a chain oil filter removal tool. It was so s**t and kept slipping. All it did was dent my filter. Guy told me i couldnt have a refund and i said to him come remove the oil filter on my fiesta and i will keep the tool. He then backed down and refunded me

haha damn id love for you to have done that to my old line manager, guy was a right c**t, would argue a goose isnt white!

them chain ones are crap, i use the steel belt one with a screw tightener, works perfectly

[~nomad~]

i use the type you hammer thru the filter, also handy for undoing screws!

I use that occasionally, you can't beat the feeling of warm oil down your sleeve

[jonyb4]

haha my old mk4 hcs always ended up in me doing that, never wanted to come off

got it down to a fine art

I think thats the only way ive ever undone an oil filter. Tried the chain type once but it didnt go well

[Rhinopower]

Words of wisdom...

Make sure when you rebuild a head that all the valve springs are the right way up and you dont forget one before you torque the head down

[Smo]

Does this mean you need to re-purchase the valve spring compressor?

[Rhinopower]

Well I would of had to, but i picked up my original from my uncle so it's all good! I just need to buy a third set of headbolts and fix it down again

[Smo]

Shame you're not down this way because unless you're going genuine Ford I'm sure I could sort you out, but to post it would kinda defeat any saving!

You'd probably be fine re-using, but I'd probably question it and buy some new ones too

Curses! Have you got an airline? Make an adapter from a spark plug, or use one from a compression testing gauge, then pressurise the cylinder. I use this method to replace valve springs and seals without removing the head.

[Smo]

Lovely. Now make it work!

[Rhinopower]

Plan is to chuck a standard focus 2.0 manifold on for now, i've also got to join two power steering pipes, i presume a bit of rubber pipe and two hose clamps wont be sufficient though

[Max M4X WW]

You fitting PAS?

[Rhinopower]

Yes!

CLEVER!



i thinkt he pas piping is far harder than rubber, its almost a plasic, dont think its lined though

[Ratspeed]

that looks at home in that bay, very nice.

Cheers. Mounting it as I have done also gives me the option to bolt straight in a focus rs lump if I decide to go forced induction later.

I'm going to have to fit bonnet raisers. The plastic cover that goes over the vvt solenoid is hitting the bonnet

[jonyb4]

thats not the worst thing though, but sleepers with this much power or more usually have a compromise of sorts

My hero !

[~nomad~]

Who wants to touch me.

[Excursion]

Oh! My, how delightful.

[jonyb4]

Oh! My, how delightful.

did ya touch his penis mark?

[~nomad~]

Thats a silly question. Me and Mark have a long history, sometimes violent, sometimes sad, but mostly loving.

[knuckles]

Feeling happier now
