Exchange DOHC

Our standard and modified engines will directly replace any of the Ford based 2.0 double overhead cam models such as Sierras, Granadas and many kit cars.

All parts immersed in acid ‘bath’ then chemically ‘hot’ washed and cleaned, with all core and oil gallery plugs removed.

Completely reconditioned with new valve springs, valve guides, valve stem oil seals. All cylinder head surfaces are machined with the emphasis on the minimum amount removed. All valve seats re-cut or new inserts fitted as required. All valves are VAC tested to ensure optimum seating.

Rebored and crosshatch honed. All new core plugs fitted. New matched set of pistons. Mains checked for alignment and ovality and surfaces machined as necessary.

All crank shafts are linished or reground and polished and checked for straightness and crack tested. All new main bearings and big end bearings are fitted as standard.

Check for alignment and ovality in big end housings and all smallend and bigend housings are checked for overheating.

Re-profiled or new with all new hydraulic cam followers.

New and checked for capacity and volume.

All new gaskets and new oil seals of the highest quality are used throughout the engine.

Both timing chain and oil pump chain also timing chain tensioner are all new genuine Ford.

As the full re-conditioning process as listed above, but also includes the following :-

Cylinder head is fully gas flowed to the highest quality and checked for flow.

Cylinder block is re-bored and machined as necessary. Each bore is cross hatch honed to exact size of each individual piston, is fully balanced by dividing the mass weight.

New, and again of the highest quality.

Crank Shaft

Linished or re-ground to bottom limits with matched lead copper main bearings and bigend bearings.

Crack tested and checked for alignment, checked for ovality and overheating in housings and fully balanced and lightened.

New, all profiles are checked for matched quality in both lift and duration as in blue printed.

All new as standard engine, but heavy duty type.

As stage 1 but including the following :-

Fully gas flowed as Stage 1, but also includes Fast Road cams.

Fully balanced with flywheel and clutch (if purchased with the engine).

Fully balanced and lightened and pistons fully balanced.

As full Stage 2 specification, but including Ultimate Road cams and decked pistons to cylinder block.

Our modified engines are built for normal Fast Road use, with the emphasis on retaining or increasing torque, but with an increase in BHP, smoothness and gains in petrol consumption, relative to the extra power given.

Bearing in mind that any good camshaft increases BHP but invariably means a loss of torque - the general yardstick is ‘the higher the lift’ the lower the torque. As all of these camshafts do give extra performance, but invariably you will need to re-calibrate the ECU or change to Carbs or Throttle Bodies etc.

Power band is 1500 - 6200. Power increase approximately 8 BHP. Duration 264 degrees. Valve lift is .428"/ 10.87mm. Timing figures 22-62 / 62-22. Full lift 110 degrees. Valve clearance hydraulic.

Power band is 2000 - 6800. Power increase approximately 15 BHP. Duration 270 degrees. Valve lift is .428" / 10.87mm. Timing figures 22-62 / 62-22. Full lift 110 degrees. Valve clearance hydraulic.

We use only top quality genuine Ford cam followers in all our engines.

At the time of going to print there were no Vernier Pulleys for this engine.

10 Timing Chain

We do a heavy duty timing chain much stronger than the standard timing chain.

All valve springs are new.

Heavy duty single springs are used for all Fast Road and Road Rally cams. These can also be supplied for the standard engines aswell.

Heavy duty double valve springs are used only with the Rally and Race cams.

This process involves machining the rough cast from each of the inlet and exhaust ports, also the combustion chambers to achieve better flow to each cylinder. Increases power between 10 and 15 BHP. It ensures a smoother ‘tickover’. And is more economical.

Cylinder head is fully gas flowed to the highest quality and checked for flow.

16 Stage 2 Cylinder Head

Fully gas flowed as Stage 1, but also includes Fast Road cams and heavy duty single valve springs.

Fully gas flowed as Stage 1 and also includes Ultimate Road cams and heavy duty single valve springs as Stage 2.

This ensures a smoother engine, lowers the ‘tickover’ speed and allows it to rev freely to its optimum. Engines have a half balance (pistons and conrods) included in the price. Bottom end balance (crankshaft assembly, refaced flywheel) is included in the price of Stages 2 and 3. It is advisable if you are having a new clutch fitted to have this balanced with the crankshaft assembly.

19 Half Balance

Which is pistons and conrods.

Which is crankshaft assembly and refaced flywheel.

All our clutches are of the highest quality.

Because of the high quality of our clutches these can certainly be used on standard Stage 1 and Stage 2 for normal Fast Road use.

There is a choice of two or three different heavy duty clutches, depending on the application and the use of the engine.

We set our fitting charges at a very reasonable rate, this is to encourage our customers to take advantage of this very important service. We have very few problems with our engines except when they are fitted, or set up, incorrectly by D.I.Y. or outside agencies, which can mean more expense and inconvenience for you as the fitting is not covered by our guarantee.

Whereas if we fit the engine, the fitting and all the parts supplied are covered by our guarantee.

Ideal for the increased air flow required on performance engines.

Performance exhaust systems can greatly enhance the breathing of the engine getting the exhaust gasses out much more efficiently.

There are many to choose from, most of which we do supply and fit hence POA.

28 Exhaust Manifolds

As above but not as widely available as the systems due to the different applications and more often than not the intrusion of the catalytic converter.

A must if you are thinking of tuning your car.

The kits are varied depending on the application, from the basic kit which includes different brake pad material, different brake hoses (braided steel) and racing brake fluid to the full kit which can include all the above mentioned plus different brake discs, different callipers etc.

This is very important that it is fitted correctly. We would certainly advise that a performance braking system is fitted by ourselves or a reputable firm that specialises in this type of work.

32 Suspension Systems

A must for those who wish to improve the handling and ride.

As with the braking system, there are many to choose from and it really is a case of "How far do you want to go" !. They can all make the car handling better, but can make the car have a much harder ride, depending on how far you go.

As with the brakes, we would advise the same with the fitting of the suspension kit. We can either fit the system ourselves or again we would advise having it fitted by a reputable firm that specialises in this type of work.

The radiator is sent away (unless new) and is tested under pressure to clear sediment, check rate of flow, repair minor leaks and finally resprayed.

At cost price. With your vehicle’s registration number - then underneath the number, Specialised Engines Stage 1, 2 or 3 as applicable. Price per pair.

38 These are our own genuine exchange block assemblys.

The block assembly consists of the cylinder block, the crankshaft, the pistons and the conrods which come fully balanced. All parts used are our own genuine exchange block assemblys.

These are our own genuine exchange units complete with valves.

40 Oil Pump

Brand new genuine Ford.

We take a brand new genuine Ford oil pump, strip it, check and Blue Print it.

Every engine is completely hand built and is the sole responsibility of one engine builder. We much prefer you to inspect your engine before full assembly i.e.: before sump and cylinder head are fitted. This way you can see all the work that has been done and also all the new parts that have been used, including seeing all the modifications that have been done. We also much prefer for you to see the engine removed if you are having the engine fitted, this is so that you can see the condition of the ancillary components. If you are unsure we can at all times advise you.

As with all our conversions please ensure braking and suspension are modified to suit extra power. WARNING - Do not expect any new engine to perform to it’s best until it has done at least 4,000 miles, also oil and petrol consumption can be greater until the engine has loosened up. D.I.Y. Fitting - Do not bite off more than you can chew as the bishop said to the actress. Please read fitting advice on the invoice.
