In addition to the broken rod, another one was bent


timing chain tensioner broken


there is a small bolt in the timing cover, no idea of the purpose of it.
previous guy who built the engine must have tried to put a longer bolt there. resulting cracking the tensioner blade.




Anyway. stock rods don't hold any power

Was all nice and well, did 2-3 gear pulls on the highway.

Got back in to town, tried lauch control off the lights.. thats when it happened:

Got new wheels


Fitted dbw throttle to my plenum, also new wiring and ecu.


Took it out to tune it on the road

Managed to get hold of an original RS rear bumper spoiler via German Ebay after much searching.

Quotethe originaly you mentioned, you mean originally fitted with the four pot calipers?

Yes.

You use 7x15 et35 at this moment. The 7x16 et35 has only a 1 inch bigger rim diameter so i don't think that's a problem.

Yes it's looking that way, trouble is they're at the other end of the country .

Original the 8x16 are et25 and the 8 x 18 are et15.

But if you use 7x15 et35 at this moment i guess the 7x16 et35 will clear. Only way to make sure is to try them.

Does anyone know if 7x16 et35 mondeo si wheels fit over cosworth four pot callipers?
Im thinking of changing my wheels as one is slightly buckled and won't balance and the speedo seems out and apparently sixteens are closer
I'm using tsw stealth (very simmilar to the Mondeo ones) 7x15et35 at the moment

Hi Carlos, Welcome, Good to see you're still active with your Capri. Have you fitted your 4bbl yet?
