It is possible that you are lucky but it is very unlikely as well given that the RST is certainly an interface engine, ZVH or not.

Now would be a nice time to get a Stage 3 head onto it or more .

Might wanna have a look at the pistons as when some zetecs have timing belt failure they smoke afterwards due to piston damage.
