Just after a bit of advice from the brain trust.
I'm due a new head gasket in the RS, it still needs removal and inspection but at very least a new cam is in order. It was showing some signs of wear last time I looked so while I'm there...
Any tricks to know for the changeover? Is there a 'running in' procedure once fitted? Any reference pages to read?
Any advice welcomed. Cheers.

Deano suggested the idea for some Classic Ford Trivia so lets get the ball rolling and hopefully get a bit more conversation going on the site.
Lets keep it to small Fords Escort, Capri, Cortina, Anglia etc.
Just fun, relevant facts. Lets not get too hung up on what specific manufacturer produced nuts and bolts and in what year.
If you've got a question that you don't have the answer to, post it anyway and hopefully it can be answered.
Contribution will be the key to this so start posting and answering.
So heres a couple to start.
What was Fords codename for the MK2 Escort?
The 65 and 66 GT Cortina's had a six dial dash. How many dials did the 64 have?

Hi all
have been made aware of a 1100 or 1300 complete engine left out in the weather on its side with no rain water getting inside engine. Rust has ruined Carby and Linkages. Condition of engine unknown. No sign of external damage like rod thru block!
Still has its FW and Clutch, Carby, Manifold, W/pump, Rocker cover and Sump secured.
Question is; are these engines worth saving or selling or straight to simsmetal ?
Cheers
Bernie

Hi Guys ............. anyone for a little trivia ???
Couldn't believe it when I saw it ! ..... has anybody noticed a piece of carelessness or maybe laziness when this Factory Book was produced ?
This 1970 CAPRI GT3000 Book is dedicated to V6 yet in the most obvious spot, there's a
V4 Engine on display instead !
Has anybody spotted it ? (Took me 7 years to spot it !)
First one who spots it and reports its location here on Forum, gets a Brand New set of complimentary Ventilated Points (S83V) suits Capri 3L 1970-1975 inc RS3000 and TC Cortina 2L Pinto (may have non-vented if preferred) inc Post Aust wide.
Just For Fun ! ........... and a new set of Points ! ..... (happy to send different Points subject to me having them)!
