Hello Bobbyh
where have you been hiding
nice to have back on the forum

[bobbyh]

Been busy at work and had no money i crashed my car the other week.

well i got chating to a guy at a party and he had a cosworth v6 and was selling it for £100 so i thought why not.

just sorting out buying it now i should get it next weekend.

how is your build going les?

Make sure you pull off the timing cover and ,make sure the timing tensioner blade is in good order.

got any pics of them in good order?

is there any other tings i should have a look at?

[twinturbo]

This is what a new, Upgraded genuine ford blade looks like. they tend to wear through the nylon slipper and then through the metal ( not as strong on the early version ) and then the blad snaps. The chain goes loose and the timing slips, the valves hit the head ... ETC...

You need to check this and that the guides for the chains are also in good order.

so the main issues with these engines are them?

how much would it cost to replae them if they are worn?

what other test do you do on an engien to see if its sound when it all ready out of the car?

thanks for the help

Note, the Ukrainian ones are made with a less tough slipper material.

ok so they cost lots then!!

any other cheeks i should do on a engine that has been sat and not in the car to see if its sound?

Main thing will be to check that blade ad the other timing componnets for ware. check the oild pump for debris in the strainer, although this is going to need to be modified anyway to allow for the shorter sump.

Note: The cam cover gaskets are not available from any normal source. They were never provided seperatly by ford and only came with the cam cover complete. So if you damage one, go to boostperformance for a remanufactured replacement.
