that mounts fits well mate, but as i said on msn, i made it "wrong" as i made it to sit on the other nuts meaning the ecu would be in it more, but i said how to change it if you want too, just a hole or 2 in it and you can flip it

Smo :How available are those 2.0 decals?

I made a load a few years ago when Henry wanted one but I can't find them anywhere

Car's coming on so well though, Clark... You'll love this more than the Turbo soon

they are availible from ford until they remove them from service. Which could be any time to be honest.
jay has one still in the bag if you want the finis number

id love a RS1800/XR3i version of that sticker

that really sounds rough low down, but it seems to go fine higher up the rev range

quite odd

by **knuckles** on Sun May 15, 2011 10:21 pm

Well it made it to Fitp and back which i was worried it wasnt tbh.
oil level remains ok as long as i dont floor it. Which is very hard to do in a car that weighs naff all with all that power :lol:

I gave gav my car keys saturday afternoon to give it a test drive to see what he thinks.
Couple of short videos

began to strip engine bay this evening.
going to drop the complete engine and gearbox then remove head and get the bare block on the engine stand to do a bit more investigating.

Just wish i would of known before i fitted the lump and i would of saved myself alot of effort and time.

by **jayrs** on Mon May 16, 2011 11:35 pm

make sure you hear the next lump running, and if poss, drive the car if its being broken

by **knuckles** on Tue May 17, 2011 12:00 am

jayrs :make sure you hear the next lump running, and if poss, drive the car if its being broken

im thinking if the lump costs too much to sort i may go blacktop.
but there are a few things that will need changing to suit the engine

by **jayrs** on Tue May 17, 2011 12:45 am

i know there is mate.
but if you got siler top, black top, if its s/h lump, make sure you dont get a $hitter fella

by **Excursion** on Tue May 17, 2011 7:49 am

Gutted mate, there's nothing worse than having to go back over what you've already done. Still, every cloud has a silver lining and all that, I'm sure it will be back better than it is now.

by **jonyb4** on Tue May 17, 2011 12:42 pm

its a shame you havent got another engine to take parts from, could have made it alot cheaper to sort

by **knuckles** on Mon May 23, 2011 3:49 pm

engine removed sunday evening. Head removed to find cylinder 2 leaking oil past the rings into the chamber the exhaust valves are coated in oil compared the the other valves are a nice white colour.
Will post pics up later on tonight.

havent solved the knocking yet as pistons and crank are still fitted the block. Bottom crank pulley is seized onto the crank nose.

by **knuckles** on Mon May 23, 2011 7:42 pm

Pictures from sunday...

Sunday afternoon i got cracking on the bay

Running gear removed - drive shafts kept in to prevent loss of the cat piss oil.

Engine removed , put on the stand then head removed.

Close up of the head - cylinder 2 has been letting oil past the rings into the combustion chamber hence the black oily exhaust valves.

Close up of the piston - i turned over the engine by hand and saw the oil going up and down the bore.

Oil pick up had loads of carbon / sludge - im very lucky this engine didnt have any oil starvation issues

In other news the mondeo servo was fitted after i drilled out the mounting bracket slightly. the holes had to be made a tad bigger for the mounting studs.
Other good news was all 4 brake lines reached the new master cylinder. No need to make up new lines

by **Excursion** on Mon May 23, 2011 8:22 pm

knuckles :Engine removed , put on the stand then head removed.

Is it just shadow in that photo or are the two inlet valves sitting proud in cyl #2?

by **knuckles** on Mon May 23, 2011 8:51 pm

think its just a shadow - i didnt notice any protruding when i took cams out.

by **jayrs** on Tue May 24, 2011 12:33 am

just as well drop that bottom end in and find out how much there charge ya to sort it if your still thinking that way mate.

i thought that res on the master cylinder was new, but its just been cleaned.
good to hear all the lines fitted, i know they would

by **jonyb4** on Tue May 24, 2011 12:45 am

so with the mondeo servo, do you just undo it from the back where it meets the brackets, or do you take the brackets off from inside the car?

by **~nomad~** on Tue May 24, 2011 9:13 am

4 nuts on the bracket in the engine bay iirc

by **jayrs** on Tue May 24, 2011 9:37 am

yeah thats right

shall be copying that shortly then :lol:

by **jonyb4** on Wed May 25, 2011 1:10 am

cheers, me too

is the mondeo servo slightly bigger than the escort one? i know the escort one is bigger than the fiesta's at least

by **- Danny Boy -** on Wed May 25, 2011 11:34 am

You need to mod the actuator rod on the esocrt one, mondeo is straight fit apart from extending the bolt holes.

by **jonyb4** on Wed May 25, 2011 11:36 am

hmmm

can you shed more light on the modding??

by **jayrs** on Wed May 25, 2011 12:21 pm

it need to be extended or shortened (i cant remember which way now) by about 10mm if i remember rightly

by **jonyb4** on Wed May 25, 2011 2:04 pm

bugger

by **jayrs** on Wed May 25, 2011 8:11 pm

just fit a mondeo one mate

by **jonyb4** on Wed May 25, 2011 11:13 pm

yea

have easy access to a escort one though (know someone breaking one)

by **jayrs** on Wed May 25, 2011 11:22 pm

flog it on mate, get it on ebay.

as for me knowing anyone breaking one, i got a scrap yard not far away, im not taking the mick when i say that, where do you think clarks servo and master cylinder came from :lol:

by **knuckles** on Wed May 25, 2011 11:29 pm

just fit the escort one jon have all the agro then you realise that it not much different to the fiesta item.

mondeo one is bigger and better

by **jonyb4** on Thu May 26, 2011 1:35 am

lol misunderstanding here

i dont have one yet, a someone i know is breaking a mk6 GTi, so i can get hold of one easy (im not about to take the one from my escort as i like it driveable just incase)

besides liek you said its not worth it

i weren't asking for one though thanks jay
