Block Mod and Forged Rods

In January 2014, the car went to Tim William's garage in Leicester. Liner failures on the ST have been well documented so I saved up to go and have it professionally remedied by Tim. The process involved filling in gaps between the liners where they seem to crack and leak coolant.

The car was stripped and Tim checked the liners, they were all fine which was a huge relief. I also had the Kalmar Union forged RS rods and ARP bolts. These lower the compression ratio to that of an RS so now the engine could run RS maps (with other supporting hardware).

No cracks
