I'm at a crossroads with the 2+2 at the moment. I'd done a FRST conversion and blew the oil cap off a couple of times after cleaning the breathers. A compression test wasnt possible as there was a spark plug cross threaded
So that led me to getting a head reconditioned, and if a new head was going on, may as well get a new (rebuilt) CVH block too as the rings were suspect. After skimming the new block, rebuilding it, finding the crank was stiff, having that reground and everything built back up again we then find out the block's cracked. So, I'm hoping the old engine hasnt been rebored, that we can do that to +.5mm, and fit all the "new" stuff into the old block, refit to the car and away we go. If the old engine has been rebored, there's not a lot around for +1mm pistons and I'd need to start thinking about something else. I dont really want to go full Zetec (too much chopping and the subframes are expensive). Not keen on an ebay CVH and not really having the £2k kicking around to give to Specialised Engines has left me in a bit of a predicament. No-one locally seems to want to get involved in a ZVH turbo even if everything's provided. In the middle of the conversation, one of the engine guys casually dropped in that he'd be able to spec an 1100 Blackbird engine as an option. I'd have thought a 2+2 is a bit heavy for this - anyone considered it a bit more seriously than my fag packet calculations?
