Just bought this and wondered if anyone on here knows what it is? was told it could be a silver top but unsure?

 

yeh its a silver top zetec found in escort fiestas an mondeos

 

1.8 or 2.0 silver top. As said above^^^^

 

Any idea what size it? or is there a way to check etc?

 

It'll say on the block under exhaust manifold 18 or 20

 

thanks will check tommorow

 

Could even be a 1.6 with a swapped cam cover but I doubt it

 

hope not lol, what power would a 1.8 and 2.0 be?

 

do you have any pics of where on block i should be looking?

 

you bought an engine without knowing what it is or where its came from?

 

If that's still in the original car and tha lac of pas it might be an xr2i or rs1800. So 105 or 130

 

Could even be a 1.8 115 gti engine

 

i bought the car and didnt know what engine was in it

 

i dont think its the original engine

 

how would i know if it was just a 105 1.8 or a 115 gti? is there any noticable differences?

 

Well it's definitely a zetec! And 99.9% sure it's a series one (silver top). Your best bet is take the manifold off it'll be easier to see.

 

This is the thing. On the plastic charge carrier over the cam cover, there's usually a silver sticker that says 105ps or 130ps. Yours has ford racing. But to say it has the HO inlet manifold and the DOHC cam cover, I'd go for 1.8 130. But if its been played with then it could be anything tbh.

 

theres a silver sticker under the ford racing sticker but nothing left on it

 

thanks so much for all ur help! really appreciate it, dont know much about these engines and just really want to know what ive got as a base

 

Lol!!!! I bought a cabby once and the sticker was silver and someone had wrote in marker pen "1.6 ????????" I took the manifold off and it was a 2.0

 

It'll take you half an hour tops to take it off n have a look. Simple job!!
