zetec and cvh sump!!!

does anyone know if CVH 1800 sump will fit a zetec engine ?

It'll kind of fit. The Sierra 1800 CVH bolt pattern is the same but there are 4 extra bolts in the Sierra so you'll have to drill and tap the aluminium housings of the Zetec at each end. It's not a perfect fit but if you can't get the aluminium Zetec sump welded you'll make it fit.

Nice one thanks for that

I heard this on another forum and thought if it could be done someone here would know for sure,the only reason i ask is that it may be a lot easier to chop a cvh sump.

also i am not really interested in paying dunnels best part of £250 for a chopped sump since i want to do the zetec instal for that and a bit more

Just found some info on this at this very good zetec site.

You *may* have issues with the shape of the curved sections at the front/rear of the sump - a grinder should help reshape it nicely

PS I think Trust Electrical do a cheaper sump

Half the price of dunnels for the sump chop,so worthkeeping in mind.
