Wozzah,
Going to be in the process of changing the my rear main on the Red RS, where and how much was the seal you got??

Cheers

I buy them through work through a company called Precision International, you'll probably need to buy it through an engine reconditioning place, or possibly from Repco as they usually don't deal with the public. If you ring them they should tell you who in the area you can buy one off. If you have trouble I can get you one and send it to you, will get you a price if you like?

Specify that you want the Elring seal, or you'll get some other cheap crap.

Cheers

Hi mate, I have a question if it doesn't bother you. The modification in the oil sump was made by yourself ? My question is because I purchased a 2L pinto in UK to place it to an Escort MK2. My country is LHD, and I'll have to modify the sump. Your work looks very cool, so I'm trying to do something like you did. May I have your advise ?

Cheers,

Yep, I did it myself. You could probably copy what I have done, but reverse the way the wings are done for your LHD vehicle. The inside is also baffled.

Engine is all fitted up and dyno'd after a few teething problems, and has been running well. The distributer had to go back for a tweek as it had a little too much timing down low. The end result was better than expected though.

Made 111kw at the wheels straight up and too rich. After some changes in the main jet that went to 120kw at the wheels. It's no secret that I have an "anti sock" (otherwise known as horsepower stoppers!) air filter opinion, and removing the sock type filters and changing nothing else took it to 128kw at the wheels. We back to backed it twice to make sure we weren't seeing things! The car is now fitted with the K&N 4" type with the ram tubes fitted underneath.

Some pictures:






The owner may post a few more pics up, I don't have any more

Fkn wow!!!

You know what I like, is that in your original post you said the aim is 115-120rwkw, and you made that with filters. Kudos.
