4.0 out of 5 stars
A tuning manual for post 1981 Ford Escorts and Fiestas., 3 May 2001
By A Customer
Following in the usual excellent standards of Haynes technical publications comes this rebuilding and tuning manual for the Ford CVH engine.The CVH engine provided Ford with reliable power for all Escorts and Fiestas at 1.3 litre cylinder capacity and above from 1981 onwards. Models in which this power plant was installed include the 1980/90 'boy racer' favourites - RS Turbos, RS1600i's, XR2i's and XR3i's. This book will serve as a sensible and practical guide for anybody wishing to 'tinker around under the bonnet' and covers everything from a strip-recondition-rebuild job through to an all out race tune. Peter Wallange's style and coverage has reached further heights following on from his book covering Ford's Pinto and Crossflow engines (predecessors to the CVH). He has been ably assisted by his son John in the photography department, and the mainly colour photographs are clear and well presented. The subject matters cover all the normal tuning topics like three angle valve chamfers, gas flowing, performance exhausts etc. and include more 'in-depth' technical tweaks including performance cams, vernier cam pulleys, tweaking turbo chargers and water injection systems. It also briefly caresses the topic of linking latop PC's to engine ECU's for an engine mapping job, which marries Formula One principles with the suburban lock-up garage spanner rack. The book is an absolute must for die hard 1980's and 90's boy racers who frequent DIY tuning. If you also consider that the CVH is becoming very popular in rear engine mounted kit cars, one should regard this publication as excellent home-garage bookshelf material.
