cvh are not crappy, imo they are twice the engine over any zvh
the cvh is a fundamentally poor engine design - honda had this and the i16 1.6i / vtec and they suprising sold there dodgy cvh to ford and carried on with the vtec
the zetec lump is far superior to the cvh, the only difference being the zetec turbo engines (found in the focus RS) are as cheap or as readily available as the old cvh rst lumps
p.s. the ZVH is just a bodge - nowhere did i mention a zvh
