  1. Hi the valves are there to stop petrol fumes entering the dizzy not to slow the advance Did you check your engine compression yet ?? Is your engine standard or modded ?
  2. Can I just add the zetec runs very high oil pressure - tick over is normally around 8 bar cold which is just over 116psi -your gauge only reads to 100 psi food for thought

    Its A Smoker!

    Hi thanks for letting me know on the oil As Peter bell says 20/50 in a pinto -modern oil is just to thin My neighbour had a fiesta that used to blow blue from the exhaust and burn oil at an alarming rate -it was only a chance chat while he was -in his words filling it with oil again I noticed him using semi synthetic 10/40 He want back to a full mineral oil and all problems went with it

    Its A Smoker!

    Hi can I ask what oil your using
  15. Hi are you running full injection? The reason I ask is I'd probably look at crank sensor as a car can idle for ages but when driving heat soak can cause it to break down But if full management I'd doubt you'd get flooding as inj would not fire Can you scan the car and record live data ???
  16. OK so to start you know it's loosing it's spark as it's still getting fuel Get a timing light clip it on a lead when it stops and see at what point it's loosing the spark If it's coil run a temp lead from battery and see if it starts If a fault is random it's a pain to find but you know your fault will happen so a logical approach should find it quite quick
  17. Stick some sandpaper to a sheet of glass larger then the head lay it on a bench /table and rub the head back and forth until head is same colour all over -one flat pinto head
  18. Thread lock and a nylock locking nut
