Hi all, as per titleI, i beleive. Its a DOHC MK6 , 2 LITRE engine, hopefully someone can confirm,
And where can I locate vin number, so I've got half a chance in sourcing parts,
Cheers

 

Hi I think it's a 2.0 escort rs 2000 engine with 150hp,strong engine!

 

Cheers mate, if I can find what model it came from, will give me a clue on donor vehicle , its currently sitting in escort van,
I think thermostat needs changing fan is not coming on starter motor, temperamental, needs a bit of work

 

yep, mk 5/6 rs2000 engine. also found in a scorpio in 2.0 and 2.3 versions although they are a little different to the FWD engine. think they also went in the galaxy.

 

may even be a galaxy 2.3 engine as mentioned as looks the same as a escort mk5/6 rs2000 engine, this was my old engine in my 4x4



galaxy 2.3 engine

 

Cheers people, am I right in thinking that's its a mk5/6 , from that last pic but one, is there or was any variation in parts between 5 and 6, or just 1 dohc engine for both models?
Is there a Haynes manual for this?
Would like to get running again?

 

Got an update on this fan not cutting in, top pipe to radiator cold, bottom pipe hot, this is before thermostat has open??
Any help much appreciated

 

water pump or thermostat maybe re pipes or fan switch , ford workshop manual was only one I found for the rs2k engine and there was slight differences between the head on a early mk5 rs2k and the later one and looking at the pic thats the later one from a 96 rs2k

 

thank you. A9, would this also explain why there's no oomph in the blower inside the van, and lukewarm air, are all the sensors the same, for the early and late versions,
Thermostat,fan switch,coolant temp sensor, and fuel gauge sender?
Also the thin breather pipe from the thermostat housing going back to header tank gets hot ,before stat has opened wondered if this was normal?
Is the engine a rs2k mk6?

is there an online list somewhere of part numbers, been trying to join rs200016v-com to get info,but still waiting for activation


Thanks for all your help

 

I think the old rs200016v club are mainly on facebook thesedays like most, its safe to say its not the early engine but still could be a galaxy engine as top end looks same as the later mk6 rs2k, been some years since I owned one so dont recal the exact specs etc,

 

Cheers A9, Managed to find this, might help some on the site PDFs under technical,http://www.rs2000-16v.co.uk/newsitefiles/indexnew1.htm
So could be a galaxy, the plot thickens,

Checked motor just now, thermostat opens so that works, but radiator already hot as bottom pipe hot a long time before stat opens, temp gauge works not sure on coolant temp sensor and fan switch...
