Looking at my copy of Autodata the 97 transit has 4+ engine options.

4FA/FB/FC 70BHP
4FD 70BHP
4HB 76BHP
4HC 76BHP

Also it's not a turbo is it.

[TonyN]

Cheers Rick, maybe I can find a internet connection then.

Andy, it's not Turbo, thats all I know.

[andy]

After looking at all of them the Torques are.

Stage 1 70Nm
2 70Nm
3 90 Degrees

[TonyN]

Thanks Andy, whats the tightening sequence look like? Just a general middle to outside, up and down thing.

Does this mean you've broke the company van and need to fix it before someone notices?

Not quite, someone broke the van,it ran like s**t, and made 'orrible noises!

So I pulled the rocker cover and found lots of bits of valve spring floating around!



I'll say this for Ford, gasket set, head gasket and 1 valve spring, all in stock and came to £50ish.

Cheap as chips!

Head came off in about 10mins! wish Lindas 3.0 was that cheap and as easy when I did its H/Gasket last month.

[andy]

Valves are.

Inlet 0.20mm inlet cold
exhaust 0.38mm cold

[andy]

Did you get it fixed.

[TonyN]

Yeah, its all sorted, piece of cake. Thanks for the help guys, Rick, Andy and Stimpy deserve a beer, And Robs paying for he's insinuations........
