Well a Zetec is the base of a Zvh so I can't see it making a difference.

Another option is Sitech racing in Scotland they might be able to help.

a few holes are blocked at the front but these are at the back of the block/head . cvh and zetec are different the zetec ones are oval where the cvh are round so the cvh decomp plate would seal them against the zetec gasket to the block then a cvh gasket on top of the plate to seal to the head ,

I’ve got a laser cut one hanging in the shed for a zvh, can’t remember if it’s been used before but if it has it will wipe over fine ready for another go, we used to use wellseal to glue it to the block face then a sitech mls gasket on top.
