"so technically i've only failed to pull into your garage once out of the 3 times due to my crappy driving "

Poor excuse !

Right im confused now . Isnt a 15/16 in socket, 24mm in metric? The spark plug socket i have is a 21mm socket and says spark plug on it, but it doesnt fit in the hole, do you get different sizes of spark plug? If so what size does the cvh engine use?

[flyerncle]

You are right,I was thinking (wrongly ) of a pinto. 16mm or 5/8 is the size.

Ah cheers for that. Another thing on the list of things i need to buy . No one told me this kit car business would be expensive

Welcome to the joys of engine stripping

Buy the time you have finished spending on the engine rebuild........ £600 for a brand new Zetec engine will seem like a bargain

Haha yeah.

I've been looking into nitrous oxide to give the cvh a bit more ooommphh when i get used to the power. It would appear that you can actually use nitrous without destroying your engine, as long as you dont go overboard and only have a 25-40% increase in power and it can be done for a reasonable price, e.g. under £200 if you buy the parts separately instead of in kit form. I'll still need to do lots of research as i've only just started researching it. But atleast its something to aspire to before i buy myself a zetec
