well have it fully stripped now visualy everthings fine ring gaps are worn out of spec but not exessively worn. got a new set pattern for a reasonable price.
all the shells look clean and no contamination has taken place there is a bit of thrust ware but its not exessive and still in spec. the oil pump looks in real good nik but i cant find any mesuments for it any where (fiestas and escorts have a diffrent pump n sump)
stupid me had lost his plastigauge so had to order some more so this delayed things .
but i think its going to be a full set of bigends and mains as i have it in bits anyways.
as mine is a 105bhp 1800 it has the oil jets blanked off and i would like to fit a set as its recomended if your going to tune a zetec without them ford dealer wanted £15+vat each seems a bit steep to me as people have said £6 on other forums
but it seems there is more than one type for zetecs
i dont spose any one has a old zetec block kicking about with a set in going spare?
or has a cheap place to get hold of ford gen parts? as i would like a new set
