Seeing as I'm always banging on about REDLINE and ZX1 EXTRALUBE which is expensive , I thought I'd prove the point by telling you what Dunnell Engines has told me regarding the condition of my 2lt Zetec . Having stripped it in preparation for a refresh before fitting throttle bodies ----------- he says he'd be dishonest if he fitted new shells or small ends etc. After 6 yrs of competition he described them as --- '' as new '' I did say to him that it felt/sounded tight and perfect at which he raised eyebrows saying '' but we'll change the shells though ''
So there it is , all the evidence to justify what I spent every season on lubrication amazing all the same because I assumed too that shells would be automatically needed after that punishment.

I just love the Stylus but she keeps swallowing £££ ! Alfa Red 159 2.4 jtdm ti 260bhp 365lbft / BilsteinB12 + Adjustable Powerflex camber/castor bushes. Red STYLUS 2lt zetec 231bhp 185lbft Dunnell . RED 1972 Alfa 2lt GTAm replica 170bhp.
It might seem like it's shifting from the left hand seat but you know I never THRASH my engine or am ever cruel to it
