rs fiesta tapping
Re: rs fiesta tapping
well as said the car has been started since the OE lifters put in SO the cam and lifters are now scrap, so you need to buy a new piper cam kit as the newman one is too much hassle. Fit a piper one and IF your lucky it may solve everything depending on whether you have done damage due to what you have already done... I dont wanna say too much online but as said i wil speak more about it on the phone. As said tho i dont know what age you are but changing stuff without finding out about the car first was plain stupid.

Re: rs fiesta tapping
no idea as it was years ago but i ripped the model number off the box and put it in the ford booklet when i gave it to glen, what he has done with it if its still in there or not i do not know....
also if your man at GT had any sense he'd just remove the cam end to see what it is OR remove it as tbh its probably screwed now anyway due to the OE lifters being fitted sounds like he's trying to get more money out of you tbh

Re: rs fiesta tapping
dunno why were having this conversation i'll say for the 5th time 285T2 cam kit, its a 8valve car so only has 1 cam just cause it has it picture of 2 cams doesnt mean you get 2 ITS A PICTURE i told you before if i put a porsche sticker on my car does it turn it into a porsche?! Like i said wayne this is no insult but i think you need to do some serious research as it seems youve bought into a car you know nothing about let alone a tuned one... Or you gonna end up either spending loads of cash or breaking it due to your lack of knowledge....

Re: rs fiesta tapping

Re: rs fiesta tapping
stop the wise cracks rsfiestaturbo.
i.ve read through this thread, and from what i read, you have no clue what you are doing, your taking advice from people that don't know what there doing also.
you have come on here and asked for help and advice and you have been given it time and time again, yet you ignore it.......
Adam, the man that built this car and knows everything there is to know about it, and more than anyone else does, is trying to help and advise you, yet you STILL argue the toss and come back with what i see as insults..
i will tell you also, the CVH engine has 1 CAMSHAFT! and 1 only, the pictures used on sites are mainly standard stock pictures, i.e. its a standard picture used (mostly to make something look more appealing) and not necessary of the item you are buying
back onto the car, you have been given all the help you need from very knowledgeable people on this board about how to go about checking and fixing your car and it is going in one ear and out the other with nothing in between to catch that information it seems, and i see this thread is going no where but round and round and if it carries on like it I'm going to lock it.
i really do hope its not going to be the end of this car, but if you keep listening to these people that are "fixing" you car it will be, and at this rate, I'm sure given another month the engine will be completely f**cked and i shall look out for the for sale thread for when you break it for spares, just be sure to add prices and read the seller rules please
on a more serious note, please take the advise from the people that are trying to help, the more this goes on, the more their likely to get pi$$ed off and not help anymore

Re: rs fiesta tapping
i doubt id get one of those and i be checking every ford for another audi a6 door handle on a ford lol id just have to put a ford back on to it... i might get rid of the cossy K&N filter its huge takes up all the space for the battery cause battery is in the boot with the pety tank but it is coverd with carpet so wont touch metal. it was in the bck seat's ive put seat belts back in it and back seats and parcell shelff and parshall shelf holders didnt have the right front window plastic skirts inside which i have now most prob cause was the mk5? was poppin out and looked a mess, it just needs the plastic skit below door which runs up to the dash i brought some today of a mk3 fieasta l reg and got home tried put on and realised s**t it was a 5 door and front doors are bigger on 3 door nvm lol
u reckon there be to much air gettin in with the cossy filter on it? it is only a 1.6 really and is fast bad thing about these fiesta's is they missing a gear cause last gear doing 60 mph u hear whistle constintly so is missing 6th gear! i defo need to do something bout that gear stick it is so low u need to stretch sometimes and puts of alot. too much trouble to fit a new bar i recon.... i was told it was most prob chopped cause he said people sometimes like to chop them, i think car would benifit with a bigger gear stick.. i only see audi and mazda etc on ebay for gear knob extender...

Re: rs fiesta tapping
get a payen gasket, most motor factors should stock them or can get them.
payen make the gaskets for ford (inc the turbo head gasket which is a lot cheaper then ford sell it for
) so if you get a payne one, your getting basicly a "ford one"

Re: rs fiesta tapping
just go to any motor factors tell them you want a sump gasket or what ever it is you need and tell them what car its for, they will have it on the shelf! As said before use bond and bond a small amount on the sump then put the gasket on then a small amount on the gasket then refit but do not over tighten..... Very easy to do the hardest part is moving the exhaust etc out the way..
