[quote=RichieL;5520884]Out of interest here as we are going in depth on the modification side of the Zetec engine.

Mine is a black top 2.0 Zetec engine that has been serviced by ford every 8,000 miles with stamps and receipts to prove......So would my engine be ok for modding, she has done 114,211 miles and just had another full service!


People say you should use a freesh, low mile engine...and ideally, yeah to a point that is true. But my Zetec has done similar miles and if it explodes, they are only £150-£200 from ebay and scrapyards anyway....the engines themselves are disposable. IMO


I have to echo Chaffe....why not??

I considered running a decomp plated engine in my track car...why? Because it made it cheap and the engine disposable, even if you got much less miles out of an engine, if they only owe you around £200-300 a time. You can afford to blow up several before they start to cost you what a fancy lightened and balanced engine costs.
