Another quick thought, are you running standard disbuiter housing?

Hmm by any chance was it raining when this happened? I washed my car the other day and it started to reverse out of wash bay, drove round the yard and it started to misfire and flood itself and then just stopped. Check for water down the plug holes causing it to earth to the head, also...

Hmmm this is interesting. Because I had a long chat with a fella from Quinn Direct one day and told him the whole story that the car was an import. I told him it was 1.3 on the log book. But it was a GT Turbo. I can get insured on it anyway, over 21 you see. So I didnt mind either way. But he...

Well lads, appears I got away ok, even thought the block was warped. Hope I dont eat my words in a few weeks. Had a few problems, got the timing wrong and had to redo that. But all is well now, glad to say. Thanks for your help

A 10 spline drive will fit with a little bit of persuasion.

Can anyone direct me to where I could get a diagram for the torque pattern for the headstuds on the 4E FTE? Thanks

Thanks for that chris, good to get a bit of history. What do you make of that headgasket, got an awful cooking I think. Right, that what sanchez said, they look very like his. Are they an expensive wheel and would I have nay chance of getting 2 centre caps? Thanks

Got my head back, all is ok with it. So if I still have problemos after that, suspected block warp. Havent got round to checking it. Replaced water pump and cleaned all the sealing areas tonight. Here are some photos of the car and the headgasket.:mad: Any one know what wheels they are btw?

Bit of an update, left the head in to powermax in N.Ireland. Getting it skimmed and pressure tested, hopefully have it back this evening :) Have got my hands on a manifold to. Ordered new water pump timing belt and front crankshaft seal. Will have it all by this evening hopefully;) So...
