Right someone must have done it fill me in on what i need to know please pic's 2 if you have them

Ta in advance

 

id like to no this as well i no you have to make a pulley up for the water pump to work properly but pics would be good

 

not too sure on the differences between the silver tops and black tops but this site is pretty useful when sticking zetecs when cvh's used to live

what gearbox you thinking of putting in

 

Be nice to get it out of my garage at last

Steve.

 

check the technical help Q&A forum, there was some discussion about zetecs

 

Doing a silver top is easy as mate you only need a water pump from an rs180 fez and job done realy not that much dif to a cvh but the black top has a diff water pump and im not sure how to get it to spin the right way or if there are any block diff's.

 

hows the viper coming along mark ?

 

Not made my mind up properly yet may just bung the 5 speed in i have for now and see what hapens

 

Slow mate at the moment in need of a workshop but should be running by early next year (i hope lol)

 

What about using the silver top bottom end with the black top head ?

Not sure if it all fits together but its a thought.

Steve.

 

the black top head will bolt to the silver top but the timimg belt will not go on
i would use the black top as is not hard at all to fit
i have put them in mk 4 mk 6 escorts and mk3 fiesta

 

So what do you do for the water pump? its about the only bit im stuck on

 

still use the std one and make a tensioner
i will have some pics if you would like

 

That would help my brother a lot thanks

Also get the escort out of my garage at last as well

Steve.

 

here is one put it has pas pump on instead of a tensioner

 

downside is i'm not running PAS is there no way to do it with out having the pas pump on

 

yes were tha pas pump is you put a tensioner

 

i will have a pic later of the one in the mk 3 fiesta
with no pas

 

That wil be cool mate

I take it the engine mount bolts up the same as the silver top zetec?

Is the 2.0 flywheel the same as the silver top too? In other words do i ned a 1.8 flywheel

Thanks

 

any luck with that pic mate?

 

cannot find any on the pc will get the fiesta in and take some pics for you

 

Ta mate

 

 

Looks cool mate but have you got any pics of the engine from the front to show the aux belt?

 

Engine mounts are all the same. You'll need to use a 1.8 sump and pick up (so the exhaust clears), and a 1.8 flywheel if u want to use the mk3/4 box. The head needs retapping for the cvh thermostat housing. Water pump wise, i'm going to use an electric one. Engine mount is the same.

 

All the black top sumps are the same you only change the sump for a silver top zetec.

Just wondering why your going to use the cvh thermostat housing too?

 

to a 1.8 silver top, not 2.0 silver top sump...

I was led to beleive the hoses were differemt, using a cvh stat housing means direct fit of coolant hoses.

 

I'm using the black top engine mate not the silver one and as far as im aware you can use the zetec stat housing without issues its what i used when i fitted a silver top last time your right about using the 1.8 sump on a silver top but all the black tops have the same sump if i remember correctly

 

im using a black top too - my point is u cant use the black top sump - u need the silver top 1.8

When my donor engine arrives i'll be able to figure it all out!

 

Oh right with ya now lol why can't you use the sump?

 

as far as i know, and until i get the engine i can't be certain, the black top sump will foul the down pipe...

 

Ahh turbo downpipe maybe but i wont have that problem gonna run n/a

 

yes, to replace my steel cvh which dropped a valve

 

opps not good well i'm hoping i wont need to chance too much to get up and running

 

im putting a 2.0 na zetec in a fiesta, you stil need the 1.8 sump, to clear a normal down pipe.

wont go in other wise

 

What manifold are you using tho?

 

for the moment, a rs1800 with a rs 1800 down pipe, till i can get a tubular,

mines a silver top,

what you dunna use, st170??

 

Im thinking along those lines yeh then just make it mate to a std mk3 stainless system

 

then deffo get a 1.8 sump and pick up pipe,

it just will not go in other wise,

there only pennys to
