I had the silver top zetec in my MK1 and with that you could stick a 1.8 head on the 2.0 block and fit the RS turbo steel head gasket which was 0.7mm instead of the standard 2.0mm so with both you got a nice compression raise with out having to skim the block, if it came you it you could still safely take 20-30 thou off it even with high lift cams fitted. Not sure about the black top but all your problems sound tappety / clearance related so a new head would probably sort it if you can't sort out the one you already have.
I did look at that and the closest I could get was 3.0mm and I needed 3.15mm so it would have probably still made a tapping noise although less it would still be there
Blimey serious stuff Mike but a worth while job bid say car sounds sweet now and ready for the road 👍
Yeah it sounds like a proper car now 😂😂
I thought I heard a tapping sound Mike 😄, just kidding, the new motor sounds great.
😲😲🤣🤣. It's such a relief that the engine works so well straight away
Som vanligt intressant video, längtar redan nu till vi får se din resa 😁
Ja jag med. 😊

Yes I definitely think it's a tappet problem and so quite now that they don't tap
I would get the shims mate to fix the tapping noise
