good day today

[rs new boy]

since selling my rs to my lad, the engines been in and out more times than ever
my original engine destroyed con rod through the block
second engine untested knocked the big ends
first rebuild on that engine put an aftermarket dipstick in it and the markers was out lack of oil killed that plus the head cracked after 5 mile amazed it never seized

second rebuild on that engine, crank regrind ,another head rebuilt by cylinder head development ,nice job its the bollocks got it in today running a treat , put a few miles on it and rollers time

roll on the lakes really looking forward to it ,missed a couple of years might have to get another escort

Good news on the engine front

Lets hope it stays in this time

Couple of pics of the head, cost a few quid but glad the problems are being sorted early on in the year








Highly recommend Andy at cylinder head developments

Dip stick

You've got me thinking now is a standard pinto dipstick ok to use on a car with a rs 2000 alloy sump or has a rs 2000 got a differant dipstick wouldn't like to think I was running low on oil and the dipstick was giving a false reading cheers

the burton dipstick top oil level mark is the bottom mark on a standard rs stick, hope this makes sense , should have taken a photo of them side by side

Rs2000 had a different tube an stick. Granada has a spring type stick

Drain your oil an measure what you put in. 3.25L without filter change 3.75 with filter change

If you use the burtons stick make shore you use the tube as well they work ok as a pair, think it's a cozy stick.
