There is a way of getting the original v6 tacho to work but as your using wasted spark system you will need to replicate 6 pulses per revo your current setup will put out 3 pulses so if you connected your ECU tacho it will be half the Revs. Theres a cheap way and an expensive way. http://www.msextra...

Had mine done 3 year ago. Cost me 325 that included bronze valve liners, Pressure testing, hardened valve seats exhaust side only needed and all the valves hand lapped to set correctly. I had ported, polished and flow checked it myself so the heads were nice and clean for my old skool Engineer build...

Thats crazy!!
I only paid 250 and that was for a complete engine!!
Gives good power gain but even better if you get rid of the MAF's!!

Dont get me wrong but i thought it depended on the screen size for the mk2-mk3 windscreens i.e.
a mk3 windscreen will fit a mk2 shell if it has the mk3 rubber to go with it. and a mk2 screen will fit a mk3 shell if it has the mk2 rubber.

thought mk1 was a different beast.

Just block the holes on the manifold. you dont technically need all those bits, all it does is suck the crack case gasses recycling them (plus you loose abit of power) Infact when you switch to throttle bodies you have get rid of it all and just leave the PCV valve in the block vented to atmosphere ...

It will also damage Lambda sensors as well

I would check your Idle air valve is working.. With the 2.9 24v engine do you know if they fitted the capri temp sensor? http://cfront.burtonpower.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/dbee39002c3ed3c5438224ee0989910f/O/E/OE_temp_gauge_sender_20.jpg Should have a white ring. Check this first befor...

I would adjust the idle up a tad to 800-900rpm as the pinto likes to run a little smoother. Then once running check there are no leaks on the vacumn pipe from the carb to the Dizzy Gets some brake cleaner and spray a little around the inlet manifold and base of carb. check to see if the engine revs ...

Duration is how long the valve is open for.
Lift is how much the valve is open by.

With both wheels off the ground

LSD Axle = Both wheels spin in the same direction

Non LSD (open diff) = Spin one wheel the other rotates in the opposite direction.

Completely agree with the above but disconnect the battery first!!!!!!!!!

Forgot to add the Flash lube you can buy a bottle that connects to the vac line on the carb. it will then pull a set amount of lube through when driving. it can be used for petrol as well but I dont think it has the same effect as valvemaster etc. as its for more a cooling affect then providing a lu...

In my old 2l pint'd capri, I ran Flash lube for about 3 years on LPG. I didnt even have unleaded valve seats. took the head off and it looked mint. Changed the head over anyway to an unleaded sierra one which had been ported and polished and bigger valves, so that was the only reason for me changing...

Take the PropShaft off and then jack the front of the car up. that will empty most of the oil out of the box through the prop hole. Then replace and fill the box with the car level until it pours out the hole. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Castrol-B373-LSD-oil-1-litre-suit-Mk1-Mk2-Escort-English-Atlas-r...

Gaz.
Put some oil in with the new insert this will help stop the strut from rusting inside out.

MOTs are a bit of joke any way.. All it says is the vehical is fit for the road at the time of testing. test it the next day it could fail.

I thought it was about 1.4 per exhaust??

Take the connection off the horn and clean both the horn and the connect with some emery cloth. then remove the horn and clean the earth bolt that secures the horn to the car as it earths on this.

Any updates?

locating bolt on the leaf goes to the axle hole and U-bolts clamp it all together.
no bushes required for that bit.
