Yours maybe a Brian Hart engine.
That's the guy who orginally came up with the 24V engine in around 1987.
Cosworth bought the idea from him then Ford/Cosworth made it into what was fitted to the Granada in 1991.
Can you send me some pictures then I might be able to tell you more.
There is also a 24V Essex so are you sure it's a Cologne based engine?

thanks for the info, i spoke to a chap who said it was a Brian Hart engine, it was one of ten castings made before cosworth and ford bought the design. I have removed the sump only to find a crank web weight and bits of piston, so looks like a rebuild! just goes to show that an engine that revs to about 7500-8000 rpm and sounds sweet as a nut can still have nasty surprises!!
