Finally managed to verify the age of my Ford Crossflow engine! despite 2 letters to Ford and numerous telephone calls to Burton Power.

Ian at Specialised Engines, Essex managed to provided the information which unlocked the date of the engines manufacture from the casting marks on the block. he was an absolute star, going out of his way to help. And the amazing thing was that I have never bought anything from his company.

With my IVA test imminent { August 2nd} I was starting to panic!

So once again big thanks Ian.
