Re: my fiesta rs turbo(fast ford featured)
upadte
picked up my chromed bits for the cage, look a lot better
cage
mirrors
stage 3 big valve head fitted today
all back together now, still have a few teething issues the exhaust manifold gasket is blowing which should just need retightening evenly when cold and it need a cam tenichioner it's wighning away and a new temperture sender as the temperture is reading way hotter than it's actually running
we ended up as well as fitting double valve springs, solid lifters my old kent cam was showing signs of wear so we put a new newman cam in as well, what a day
