"baby" zetec/cvh
Hi,
i read somewhere the Zetec from Fiesta is very different from the "normal".
Anybody knows if can be fitted (without too many troubles..) ?
A FORD ESCORT 1.8 16v with the engine code "RDA" it's a CVH? Or what else?
-P

It won't be a CVH for two reasons
1. There is no such thing as a 16v CVH
2. The only 1.8 CVH was fitted to the Sierra and soon discontinued
The only issue with using a Zetec is the age. You need to get a very early one to avoid having to have a cat.

Zetec
im pretty sure that there are 2 types of Zetec engine. the Zetec E and the Zetec S. It seems that the 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 are the 'E' engine and the
1.25, 1.4 and 1.7 are the 'S' engine. it seems to me that the engines from the Fiesta and Puma are different from those from the Escort, Focus,
Mondeo
not sure if thats all true but hope it helps
James

I thought Yam have some input in all the S ones. Certainly the 1.7 has VVT on it and I assumed all the S's had? The 1.7 in my mates Puma goes (and
revs) like stink. I keep telling him to do a Cossie conversion so I can have his engine!

dunno bout the later festers but the first 1.25 mk4's if you look past all the emmissons injection crap is just a updated valencia which as we all
know owes itself to the good ole x-flow aint it good to see gd designs never die
also i heard the latest 4 stroke suzuki outboard boat engines are based on the zetec block
and doestnt the puma one have the heads on the oppisite way -- inlet to front exhaust to the back

Nipped out and sneaked a look under my m8's Puma's bonnet. Yes, that is true (his is the 1.7)
