Cant wait to hear what you get from it !
Check oil water fan belts etc etc etc
Make sure you stand in the rolling road area as the noise of a car on rollers is scary - especially if its your own car ! - lolcheeRS

1st Run 131.9bhp / 132.2 lbft @ 5908
2nd Run 135.7bhp / 136.6 lbft @ 5551
It is known that these rollers read low. Had to have the IDF's rejetted as the carbs were jetted with the Aux jets upside down.
Compression as spot on & all equal with in 1%Comment

It still has its loverly flat torque curveOriginally posted by Kel
And the IDF "dip" at around 2000 - 2500 as well
Did your man try near the 7000rpm area ?
I have had the engine held at 7500rpm (as you well know - lol)
If those figures are at 5500 - 6000 rpm then engine is still near or on the 175bhp @ fly that I had from it
NICE !
p.s. Aux jets were direct from Australia

HP figure are very misleading without knowing a bit about car and rollers.
Anyhow a RWD escort will lose between 32 and 38 hp to the driveline.
I am very happy for your figures.
But
the rpm is very low for that figure.
I would have expected closer to 7500.
Can I have engine specs?Comment
