First off why fit a 1.4 head its got smaller valves
(please dont say is to higher your comp ratio as you can get your 1.6 head skimmed to the same)
and i dont think the zetec-e valves will even fit in the zetec-se head.
if i was you either fit a 1.7 engine or fit a 2.0 engine both go easy into the focus and you can do it your self for less than £400 with 30bhp gain. (2.0s abit more straight forward as you dont have to mess around with the wiring as much)
