I don`t disagree with you there - the Vauxhall 1300 OHC engines were a
bloody good engine - loads more power than the 1200 OHV, and only a small
step down, in power terms, from the 1600. I never had any starting problems
with my Ford CVHs though.

Did you have that lovely CVH sound, though? Any that had done more than
50,000 miles sounded like a bag of nails in a washing machine. The hydraulic
lifters weren`t the best!
