Anyone know if its possible or tried to fit one on a CVH? Just a thought?

 

what would be the point ?

 

CVH sumps are shit......

 

Is there a difference. Is the zetec one better for some reason?

Cheers
Dave

 

theyre cast aluminium rather than the shitty pressed steel ones. I dont think it will fit, it was just a thought

 

What about a chrome CVH one or a powder coated one?

 

It was more to do with the way they fit poorly and bent and stuff. But i doubt the Zetec one will fit so i'll probably end up spraying/powder coating.

 

the zetec ones do fit mate. my mates got a 1.9 cvh and ts got a zetec sump fitted to it
They are much better because they apparently have better baffles in them to stop oil surge on hard cornering (which is one of the bad points of the cvh engine!!!!)
(or at least this is the reason the well respect engine builder gave my friend anyway......)

 

Thats what i like to hear. Do you know which Zetec sump? aren't the 2.0 and 1.8 sumps different?

 

im pretty sure it is the 1800 sump mate

 

cheers man, if you find out anymore info it would be greatly appreciated

 

zetec alu sumps were also designed to increase block rigidity...

very important feature for who upgrades power, rev's or both!!!

so, if it's compatible with CVH block, that would be

 

Ive been looking at sumps at the local scrap yard and im not convinced it will fit, the edges around the oil seal carrier and oil pump look very different shapes

 

i will try and get my mate to take a pic and send it to me. i was speaking to some else the other day who has one fitted too

 

If it does fit then thats all good

Can you find out which sump it is for definate and also which gasket to use?

 

gotta be any escort or fiesta sump, mondeo one won't let the downpipe thru.
