Are they the same sump as the 2.0 Zetec engine?

Mine has gone porus and I need to order a new on from my local panel factors.

Do you need to remove the cat to change the sump as the sump does look shallow?

What is the torque settings for the bolts? I dont want to go and squish all the sealer out

 

Yeh they are mate.

 

Im sure they are cheaper than a ST170 sump too.

 

£ford wanted £240 for one! lol

 

Bloody hell how much.I was round my mates last week,his mate has a ST170 and his was leaking,my mate had a spare 2ltr zetec sump lying about so they put it on.Its a small sump/pan isnt it.

 

Yes I think it is

 

We've used a Zetec sump on the ST170 motor we've dropped in a Mk6 Escort

 

Sounds like a intersting project.

 

the 2.0l blacktop and the st170 are the same sump.

 

Do you need to remove the cat to change the sump as the sump does look shallow?

 

not sure ,mines a turbo and i can get mine off with the down pipe on. You do know theres no gasket for it? Its sealed on and can be a bit of a cunt to get off

 

No gasket? A asked my local parts place and they are getting me one in for tomorrow. Im fitting a new sump.

 

its a two peice sump the ally part that bolts to the block has a gasket but the metal sump part is put on with a sealer that ford sell

 

Ah right, good job you told me that. I wont be buying the gasket then. Id better ring ford and check they have some in.

Hope its not too expensive.

 

the last tube i got about two month ago was about 8 quid.

 

Phoned ford and they are getting me some sealer for tomorrow. The parts guy was trying to tell me the focus st170 sump isnt the same as the other Zetecs!

 

what sump have you bought? They both fit the engine i have used both,the only thing i can think of is it might not clear your down pipe

 

I have a st170 sump if your interested,i need to buy one for a rwd fittment

 

What is the torque settings for the bolts? I dont want to go and squish all the sealer out

 

Hand tight mate

 

As above just nip them up.
