anyone know if a zetec sump will fit a cvh block

been told its poss but never seen or heard of this before

 

Dont think so, a quick look on ebay shows them as being flat, no cut out for oil pump or rear crank seal housing.

LAZY GIT!

 

ooooooooo so thats interesting


we need to putthe xmas decs away now so i can get the block in the back of me shed

 

They can be fitted because mine has one





i dont know if anything special needs doing to it though as i bought it like that but after doing the sump gasket a couple of weeks ago before i put it back in i couldnt see anything out of the ordianary bar using the zetec gasket instead of the cvh one

cheers mark

picture speaks a thousand words

thats a good point to start from i guess

 

whats the advantage of this? Bigger sump?

 

dry sump pan

 

No worries gus if i hadnt of put it in the car already id of wipped the sump off for afew more detailed pic's. I just presumed it was a straight swop because i didnt see anything out of the ordinary.
I presumed it was fitted to to allow more oil in the sump but i bought it done like that so i cant be sure. The guy i got the bottom end from wasnt very forth coming when i picked it up as i only paid Ł180 for it with 0 miles on it

boy done well at that price for a frsh engine!

 

Ok, it can be done! lol

 

Thats why he wasnt very forthcoming but what was he thinking putting a fresh engine on ebay without a reserve.
Ive just had a quick look through some of my old photos and found these from the first time i put the engine in i dont know if they'll be any good to you but there the only ones i can find.

The Zetec sump will fit, pretty sure you have to change at least the oil seal carrier on the fly wheel end, and maybe also mod the oil pump as the sumps are a different shape there

 

Equal length drive shafts too, possibly (don't know if it would all fit).
