Mk2 Four Door

Recommended Posts

Repaired the chassis rail at the engine mount on drivers side,  nearside to be tackled next...

 

The bonnet is for sale, the frame is well past being repairable, the skin is still useable, if anyone is interested contact me.

Gayvans are awesome, you can get 20 bags of compost, or 101 Redland Renown roof tiles in when spread around the whole car

Well it has been run and all is good now, the idle was big issue so operator removed and cleaned all the jets and it produced 110 hp and 130 lbft  torque.

 

No additional tuning was done with jetting or timing, it had to come off as more engines queued up and was run as massive favor, top bloke...

Having spoken with a knowledgeable engine builder,

 

In his opion the cam timing is not correct as the graph is showing that the power rolled off too early... Where is a Ford H33 cam from? -- Cortina,Capri,Transit,Escort

Cleaning up for the rear valance exposed a gap between the boot floor and the 

lower rear panel.

When applying pressure to the chassis rail it can be lifted 8 to 10mm....

on mine the boot floor extends to the back of the lip on rear panel making a 3 layer sandwich between rear panel and valence from wheel well to tool kit well.

Someone on here should know if that is normal or an "aftermarket accessory"

Hi,

    I can confirm that the 3 layer sandwich is correct. Rear Valance, Rear Panel and boot floor in the middle.

 

Cheers
