Cylinder head on my kit car went last weekend annd it seems to be beyond repair. It's a Ford Sierra 1.8 CVH engine and apparantly Ford no longer list it as a spare part. Anyone know where I can get a good one quickly please?

Alternative is I change the engine for a 2 litre twin cam out of another Sierra but I don't really want to start messing about with engine mounts and ECU's and stuff since due to me working abroad, I've got to pay a garage to do the work. So ideally it's a new head for the 1.8 CVH. Anyone any ideas please?

Thanks chaps and Simon i sent you a PM.

So far no joy in getting hold of a new/recon head so I'm leaning towards swapping the 1.8CVH for a 2.0 DOHC. Been offered a rusty Sierra with a supposedly good engine, 75,000 miles for £200 but I'm not sure if the engine mounts, and exhaust mountings etc are the same. Anyone done this and got any tips? Obviously I'm aware that I'll need the ECU or would I be better off buying a megajolt?

Any help much appreciated
