Stripping my engine again

[mk1mexico]

Somethings still not right with this engine of mine.

 

Theres a rattle above 2500rpm although it runs fine.

 

So i thought sod it, i spent most of last night scouring the internet, and iv found a complete ST170 cylinder head from a reputable breakers, so im putting that on tonight/tomo, as the original is fooked.

 

I think there is an oil way or 2 that isnt lining up properly between the ST bottom end and the standard Blacktop zetec head

 

So hopefully should be a straight forward swap, but i am SICK to death of working on it

Well just got home the heads off, oilways look ok though

 

Started it up before i stripped it and it sounds like a noisy lifter

 

Oh well we will soon find out
