...................At last, the engine is officially in and running,still one or two probs but it gets me round,noticable power gain from the 200CC i gained,now i dont have to drop a gear when i get to a uphill slope,
Thanks go to all members who helped with problems,and big thanks to the 2 guys at work who helped get it done,im proud of the fact that I done everything tho,i knew how to do every bolt,hose,cable and mount etc..
engines are not as complicated as you'd think.Probs something i wont be doing again tho,next car is gonna have a good engine to start with

Me and my mates have fitted a few engines, corsa sri, cav sri and nova. Luckily one of them was a mechanic and luckily it was fairly simple (more simple than i thought)
Well in for doing it on your own.

sorry im not a fan of those type sunstrips, anyone who knows there cars will know its an escort jusy by looking at it. They dont need it smacked in their face every time they see the car, im sure it all started with SAXO VTR or SAXO VTS right across the windscreen, its like i know what your cars, why dont you put: chaz 'n' dave
al least its different, scoop im not having a go i know what look your going for and the sunstrip is part of that look, just not my taste.
