CHV -> Zetec
mad4x4 - 29/7/05 at 07:28 PM

Ok need an answer to this if I get a zetec what will I have to change on the engine to get it to fit my type 9.
Clutch? FlyWheel?

Currently I have a 1.6 CHV installed and am thinking about Zetec

Hi,

If you are using a standard CVH flywheel at the moment, then the standard 1.6/1.8 fiesta /Escort zetec flywheel should be ok.

Normal things to make it mount are:
flywheel (only if fitting a 2.0)
clutch
spigot bearing

You'll also need to trim down the middle of your current engine - gearbox spacer plate

Don't forget to lower the zetec sump, too

Use your CVH starter.

What do you mean "Lower the Zetec Sump"?

The later zetec has a cast sump which has to be trimmed to allow the starter to fit the type 9. The earlier zetec does not need this to be done as there is enough room for the starter to miss the sump.

You nee to change one engine mount -- I can't remember which

Depending on your installation, if you use the std zetec sump you may have clearance issues with road bumps...the answer to this is shorten the sump

That would be raising it then
