Nice! lol thank god Ive never had a head go that way, funny thing is i remember looking at mk2 fiestas when i was learning to drive, must have seen 20 or more with owners who had no idea why the oil was a bit more think and creamy/or the water being very oily lol..
As for the 4x4, is that engine mounted higher then standard? looks high in the last engine shot pic's.

they could have all been normal mounts but its far easier to fab different mounts than it is to route awkward boost pipes and exhaust ect
thats mainly because the rocker cover gasket split a few days before it came of the roadQuote:
that is probably the muckiest engine i've ever seen
on an f28 mate the reverse switch is on top the box near the selector and the ident switch is underneath the hole has defenatly been smashed into it at some point but its odd as it looks like it was made from the inside out but by what i have no ideaQuote:
that hole. ismnt it for reverse switch? and wow thats real full of mayo. how long was it run like that?
as for the mayo it was flushed only 5 days ago with a proper agent for cleaning the system after gasket failure then refilled with fresh coolent as i tryed the porus mod. 5 days later and sbout 50 miles and i got the coolant level light come on checked the header tank and it was solid with the stuff again so i think all i managed with the head and porus mod was to make it worse

Thats some nice goopy stuff there Ste, stop mincing about with the engine and get those horrid fecking wheels off, btw just to settle a discussion with Rob, what size are ya voodoo's?
what size would you like them to be whats it worth if i say 17s or 16s lol ?
i think this should be at least 23% now what you think guys ?
got abit more done also when i brought the cav the guy i got it of lived about 5 miles from AP racings develpment center and claimed that they had used the cav as a development car for a clutch kit for the f28/c20let and it had had about 4 clutches fitted and tryed on it free of charge
I just thought yeah yeah as you do but it apears he may well of been telling the truth.
The hole in the gearbox after we cleaned it all up was obvious that it wasnt a smashed hole but a cleanly drilled hole in just the right place to inspect the clutch
when we split the box from block low and behold theres an ap clutch and writen on the cover plate in marker pen was Revision 4 batch 1 prototest and on the other side a load of random letters and numbers part number?
same on the friction plate.
so it apears that it may have been ap that made the hole as f28 boxes dont have an inspection cover and the old bloke i got it of was telling the truth. Bonus
Any way some pics of todays progress

Looking good, I'd be inclined to bin those rubber mounts and fit something better which will mean altering the mounts as they use a single UNF threaded bolt.
Should be a cracking car if you finish it off with the right parts :)

Bonus on the clutch Ste, but who wants shooting for the sump gasket
