Nice package

[knuckles]

omg !

a multiple piece cvh sump gasket !
good luck with that ... tenner says you throw it away and get a one piece rubber gasket instead.

[MK2 Jamie]

I'm not looking forward to fitting that now you've said that

R5 uses em..they a complete toss bag,Takes a mountain of sealer to make em seal proppa

see this is why we respect and use Rubber..Interprate that as you wish..

[knuckles]

:( I'm not looking forward to fitting that now you've said that

send it back and get a proper rubber one.

ford replaced the old type cork and half moons with the one piece gasket for a reason

also for the sake of £45 get a new sump. i bet the old one is rusted or has been overtightened at some point in its life. making it near on imposible to get a even seal on the new gasket without s**t loads of sealer.
My Rs i built and sold went through 2 sump gaskets then needed a new sump.
Check the metal inserts for its straightness and check to see if the matting surface of the sump is straight too. If its distorted ,,, chuck it !

[MK2 Jamie]

The engine is back together now and timed up. Need to put a gasket on the cam belt cover. On the look out for carb and manifold then once those are sourced the engine can be put in the car hopefully before Ford Fair.

[knuckles]

did u sort the sump gasket ?

[MK2 Jamie]

Used the multi piece gasket. Fingers crossed

[knuckles]

im assuming u did it upright on the stand ?
did you use sealer on the half moons and on the flat edges where the gaskets meet ?

[MK2 Jamie]

I covered every part of it in a ton of sealer

good man

Carb (32/24 Weber DFT off an XR challenger XR2) came today so I got it fitted, also fitted the exhaust manifold. Getting a dizzy this week then all I need is ht leads and a couple of hoses.

[jakerowles]

this will be mint with the cvh , prefer them over zetecs or any other engine on mk1's and mk2's

[MK2 Jamie]

I would have liked a zetec but I just can't afford it at the moment. I do kinda prefer them over zetecs though in regards to how they look in the engine bay....oh and how cheap they are

i want a 1.4 for my mk3 could of had one for £50 with all ancilorys and gearbox but dint have the money at the time

[russ-RST]

You so should of got some twin 40's and a s/s fanimould for it

[MK2 Jamie]

All in good time I'm rushing to get it in for Ford Fair. The manifold will be ditched asap after FF for a 4-2-1 and il source some 40s nearer the end of the summer. The carb I've got is the best oem carb for the cvh engine.

Not long 'till the 0-60 shakedown!

Should be interesting to see what I get this year. Low 8s I reckon.

Low 8's? You're really underestimating your skills, Jamie.

[MK2 Jamie]

Haha! I don't wanna sound like another Jony and make outrageous claims.

we no yr only messing though

[MK2 Jamie]

Sometimes I'm being a tiny bit serious. Rung HIC today, £60 extra for the engine conversion

[Smo]

They do look after you, HIC

[hb69]

8's might be realistic with that setup

[Tweek]

Follow something fast off the lights, that'll get you your ballpark figure.

Most accurate method, think they might be using something similar to do the timing at ff this year

[Michael!]

make sure its a BMW perhaps an M3...

[MK2 Jamie]

8's might be realistic with that setup

Yea, with the car stripped out i'd expect 8's. Anything over that and I'll be disappointed.

[Smo]

Who cares what you get, the car will still look good doing it's business

And the longer you take, the more showtime you get

[MK2 Jamie]

Yea last year I had over 12 seconds of show time

[Minstral]

should just go for a cruise up the strip

[fiend]

You should ghost ride it up the strip.

[MK2 Jamie]

Not sure how keen the ford fair organizers would be on that.

if you were game im sure they would be
