Hi there, I've just bought a focus with a knocking big end. Took the sump off and its full of metal.... The big end bearings were wafer thin and deformed which has killed the crank journals etc.
My question is are all engines from 98-04 so zetec s silvertops and se blacktops interchangeable? I'm just going to stick another 1.6 lump in.
I've heard early mk5 fiestas are the same (just use the origional mounts) there just seem to be more blacktop 1.6 se engines about. I'm desperate for an engine as its my transport.....
Cheers
Sam
