anyone changed the oil pump on a silvertop zetec while the engine being in the car in a escort mk4 ?

 

you prob could but it will be a pain in the ass and prob wont be lined up correctly. and for all it would take to drop a mk4 esc engine and box its not worth the grief attempting to do it in place.

 

i already have the sump off, i was thinking of dropping the engine mount then try and get access to the pump that way

 

Why are you changing it??

 

Easy mate if the sumps off all ready you are half way there. Pop the belt off lower covers ect. The only prob i could see would be is the engine may not go low enouth so you may have to take the mount compleatly off but you never no
