Jetting sorted Dunk S/P ran ok last year but a bit lean flat out So had to do the opposite of what I'd read When on full boost was the issue so had to drill main jets out & put small air corrector jets in till eventually I could get it rich

Great looking engine, but doesn't that throttle cable rub on the belts?

[Paul WAP347]

No when rads in There cable tied to the cosworth twin fans housing it is close but no issues

[MM]

Oh yeah, I overlooked that there was no rad fitted!

S/P has now found the limit of its over 25 year standard capri pistons Engine is breathing bad & 3 of the 6 plugs are oiled up so I think 9psi boost & abuse over the last 3 years eventually squashing & trapping the rings The pistons we're always the week link when I used to run nos Id like some advice on the best forged pistons on the market 3.1 capri Starting removing engine today

[Dean P]

Fantastic engineering. Good luck with the engine rebuild.

[Paul WAP347]

Thanks Dean

[Paul WAP347]

Just a blown head gasket on S/P & valve guide seals need replacing on S/P result Pistons look ok

[58 MOGGY]

Thats good news,i believe COMETIC do a multilayer gasket for the v6,good for forced induction engines,plus you can supposedly reuse them a couple of times,think maybe BURTONS stock them.
