Umm is your car overheating really bad? or is the needle just messed up?! lol
-
Lol your the first one to notice that! lol
When fitting the dials I had to remove the screws from the temp & fuel gauge, when I put them back in (upside down) the clamp fell out so the gauge was not getting a signal and just went right to the top lol
Fixed now tho

Not fixed to the car yet! At the moment they are jammed in place and secured by some screws to the wood holding the power cap…
I dont really wanna damage any of the internal trim!

Small Update…
Well the car has had a little work dont lately..
Changed the Cam Cover Seals - It was leaking oil before and managed to screw up the ignition (oily spark plugs and ht leads is not good!!)
I didnt change the seals when the engine was out, might I suggest that anyone doing a ZE swap do this before, as the IM is a bitch to get out when its in the bay!
Besides for £20 its worth it.
Obviously all new spark plugs and as of last night some brand new 10mm Blue HT leads :D
I will try to get some pics up today...
On another note, I have a slight issue with the car still not running right.. I have a feeling I might have a dodgy o2 sensor or 2 :(
Can I also make a note about www.fordprobestore.co.uk - Excellent fast service :)

This happened to my k8 too, oil on top of the plug. Rear bank of course - IM is a bit of a pita to take off. Think I shall change mine when the ZE arrives. Also trying to decide whether to replace the valve springs & retainers or not. You running ze springs & retainers? Worried about valve dropping due to weak retainers?
-
umm, ive got oil in the front bank of mine
you said ofcourse to i bein the rear bank
is the front baddd??
-
no that's good! Rear bank you gotta take of intake manifold. Front bank is a piece of piss! Just be very careful not to overtighten the bolts, they're very low torque setting.
