Good, we have enough detailing threads as it is.

The ME7 head definitely flows much better.
Putting a 850 head on a ME7 block seems the wrong way around to me.
The yanks are years ahead of us on modifly and fitting ME7 engines into 850`s
I`m going to do a cold compression test on the engine tomorrow,
If the compression is 100 psi + then the head will removed liners shimmed and forged rods fitted.
In the end I`ll end with a fully forged engine (rods + pistons )
1996 850 T5 AWD - Self tuned M4.4 ECU with COP`s, B5254T ( S60R internals in a 850 block ) ostrich 2.0 , VXR injectors @ 3.8 bar, K24 turbo with a 6+6 compressor wheel, 3.25" MAF, top mounted Dump Valve, RN Exhaust manifold, 3" downpipe with 200 cell cat, 2.75" Stainless exhaust, Brembo calipers, S60R brake discs, stainless RIP kit, 3" Throttle body,
Not to sound like a numpty - but I've got a 2.3 ME7 lump from an '02 T5 - do I just need to blank the VVT solenoids & I'm away for a straight swap into the 850?? Was my understanding it was a bit more complicated than that - will do a bit of research on the US forums. What are the advantages of the later 2.3 lump? Any help gratefully appreciated, Cheers, Morgan
p.s I have always enjoyed reading your engine threads - just way over my payscale to make any useful contribution. Keep em coming though!
Good thread here...

I bought a ME7 R engine from TC. I was going to use the bottom end from that, Use My M4.4 R head and have it ported then use N/A cams.
The ME7 engine in a 1999/2000 comes in 2 formats, hydraulic lifters with 6mm valves, and solid shimmed lifters with 7mm valves.
Going on the number of the engine I've got, it uses the same valves and lifters and the 4.4 head.
By the look of your rocker cover, You have the 7mm valves with solid lifters. I hate faffing shimming solid lifters, Fit everything, measure gaps, re-shim. I did a couple of late Zetec engines that used shimmed lifters, the were pretty straight forward as the cam caps were not parts of the rocker cover.
I don't know what to do with mine.

I thought the hydraulic lifters came with the 7 mm valve stems...
Speaking from my own experience of a ported M4.4 head (on original 2.3 block) with N/A cams, the porting & higher lift doesn't make a massive difference but does complement other mods. I do need to adjust the cam timing tho.
If you are going for massive power then it's worth researching but I would leave the ME7 head on & cams in, unless you can't live with the VVT for some reason
It does!
Also solid lifters and 6mm valves are always VVT whatever but if you are hydraulic .......the hydraulic bucket from after autumn `97 is the improved one which empties the oil quicker to give a snappier valve shut......
So if your mixing heads don`t use the earlier lifter from the 850T5 use the one from The B5234T3 onwards......

Sorry, Got my numbers mixed up, Being doped up with pain killers has mashed my head

I`ve had a very productive day out in the garage working on the ME7 engine.
First thing I did was fit a old M56 gearbox so I could do a cold compression test, 120 psi balanced
Then the head was removed so I could fit my forged rods.
Here is a photo of a V70R rod (leftt) next to a standard 850 rod.
And for those who have asked here is a photo of ME7 non VVT cam (left) a standard 850 cam (middle) and a ME7 VVT cam.
I `ve removed the VVT pulley, I`ll be measuring it up and doing a drawing so I can get a new one made.

To me they look identical the only way I tell them apart is V70R ones are oily

It is not so much what they look like but the process in production involved or manufacturing them!..........also the part number will be different...
