Iirc dates are stamped under inlet port on number one cylinder..also exhaust ports should be d shaped as standard on series two heads. Series ones had circular exhaust ports with sodium filled valves. Series two head castings where basically xr3i heads..with a turbo cam and turbo springs. Sometimes the messier looking heads are actually better as long as they clean up.
Tbh I think you've done OK concidering wot you've got but end off the day you've got a ford so it only matters if you think you got a deal or not.like to see how you get on with the bits. But Yeh anyway good update mate .👍
Thanks for this video! keep the ford content coming! I reckon , you do one head and send a head to machine shop with block etc - but you build it up! Sorry I know nothing about CVH engines - I do know my s2 use to wheel spin in 4th gear with four people in the car and this was back in 1996! Never ever got to find out he true spec but i know it was running 1 bar back then that was quite a bit lol
Needs recording no2 looked like had deep scoring or pos a crack in it . Look ip barum engines in RU-vid lee will sort it out good guy dose my cosworth engines
Thanks for the comment, yes I’m planning on sending the block off for inspection as I’m not a mechanic “just self taught”. I did manage to pick up a complete block of eBay for £50 so I’m hoping between the two blocks I can make a good one. I will check out Barum engines👍
