right im fitting my 2.1 zvh to my escort rs to save time i thought id leave gear box and shafts in and swap just the blocks but i cant get the gearbox to connect to the gear box i have fitted a paddle clutch to





any thoughts on this its doing my head in.

also these dont look like the fit properly do i need them in or do i need custom ones.


also theres a short pipe that goes from here the top of oil filterto the bottom of the inlet but looks like theres no where on the zstec for it to go to whats the best thing to do here?

 

What file wheel are you using? You need to use a 1.8 zetec fly wheel.
That is the 2.0 spacer plate and you also need the 1.8 zetec spacer.
That is the oil cooler and needs to be pumded in to the coolant system.

 

The spacers where of my cvh

Im unsure on what fly wheel I'm using will my cvh not fit it?

So do I need it on my zetec block as that pic was taken of my cvh but I was unsure what to do with the pipe that comes off the inlet

 

The spacer needs to be a 1.8 zetec, you can use a cvh fly wheel but needs to be a efi one and you will need to drill it out to be able to bolt it to the zetec. What oil pump you using?

 

One already built in to block when I bought it so I need spacers or can I leave them out there only 2 mm thick how can I tell what fly wheel I have? Cheers

 

I have tried taking just the engine out and leaving the gear box in have I opened a can of worms should I just wip the gear box out thoughts?

 

the fact the box wont fit over the fly wheel means its the wrong one as the 2.0 zetec one is too big for the cvh bell housing, also you need the spacer/shime and the one you have is a 2.0 one. What did this engine come out of?

 

s2 escort its a cvh flywheel which has been machinede lighten and balnced guy said i came out of his s2 n he rebuilt the motor

could it be that im trying to meet them together in the engine bay im gunna try taking gear box mounts of so i can move it abit or ill try taking gear box out and join them i just scared of the abs and didnt wanna have to try take the shafts out.

 

sorry the spacer is the one of my cvh block engine didnt come with 1

 

What you lifting the enginge with? It's normally easier to get the enging in on the mount, have it angled down, put something under it so it's not just held by the mount, remove the box cradle and drive shafts idealy but can do it without taking them out and do it that way as its easier to giggle the box about to get it on. Also check the clutch plate is 100% lined up as if it's out a tiny bit the box won't go on. Once on just either jack or lift up the box to the right height and bolt the cradle back up

 

gunna have a crack tomorrow night on my inlet manifold sandwhich plate theres a plug and a hose fitting but no where for hose to go to it usually goes to the oil cooler as above so shall i just blank it or pipe it into the water system

 

cheers for your help btw

 

I will find out about that, I will know someone that knows how to plumb that in.
