need abit of help advise...
im fitting a 2ltr black top zetec turbo into my mk5 escort, but i keep coming up against problem's...
problem 1)
pic's...
silvertop bottom end....
black top bottom end...
basically, the silvertop bottom end (top pic) has that plate thing bolted on under the crank, and the blacktop doesn't, the blacktop has a 2 part sump.
i'v tried getting around it by taking the bolt's from the silvertop and putting them into the black top, but ...
as you can see the silvertop bolt is alot longer than the blacktop one and wouldn't bolt down properly, looking at the bottom end's abit closer i found the crank cap thing's (the bit's that hold the crank to the block...) are bigger on the silvertop than the black top, and the crank seem's to sit lower on the silvertop than the black top, so i cant use them i dont think??
so does anyone have any suggestion's as to how i can use the plate thing, im assuming i do need to use it?
i cant cut the bolt's down to make them fit as the thread doesn't go all the way up the bolt, only goes about half way. im stumped tbh, i don't have a clue
problem 2)
pic's....
silvertop...
blacktop...
basically, the silvertop (top pic) has an oil pump that the oil filter bolt's to, where as the blacktop doesn't, the oil filter just bolt's to the block itself, can i cap that and use a normal escort oil pump, or would that not work due to whatever reason :unsure: ??
i tried to get better pic's, but battery died
problem 3)
the silvertop escort engine mount doesn't fit onto the blacktop, the 2 hole's (one above the other) line up, but the 3rd one is about 20-30mm off, how do i get over this? im thinking just chop off the short bit and weld a longer bit on? or would that not be a good idea?
any other way's round this?
problem 4)
iv just ordered some double valve spring's from burton power, but when i removed the head today i looked at the valve spring's.... how on god's earth do i get them out? is it quite easy (for a novis like me) or is that sort of job best left for someone that know's how?
any help atall on the above would be maaahooosivly appriciated!!
