Craig. Thanks. Actually there is no real 'engine bay' in a FF. However I do have a support crossmember in front of my current motor with about 1/4" ...
Hi Brian, "Engine Bay" is a loose term in the FF field, but for a better lack of description that is the term I used. But then I really did not know what type...
I just pulled a rod and piston assembly out of my Zetec for a presentation I'm doing today in class about powder metallurgy, and I thought I'd take a couple...
Hi Ryan, Is there a password or special procedure for viewing these files at anglefire? What sort of classes do you teach anyway? I want that job... play with...
They don't load? Make sure that the JPG at the end is in caps. Some computer glitch with this Dell caused them to be in caps for some reason, got to tinker...
Hi Ryan, Normally I wouldn't bore everyone else with non-zetec related web issues... but I probably not the only one affected.... When I click on the URL you...
Ok bear with me here. What is the signifigance of what I just looked at? I have little knowledge on the engineering of components for engines, but I am ...
i looked back through the past posts and im wondering if it is possible to modify the VCT module manually. i read that it was controlled via an electronic oil...
The VCT has 2 positions and 2 positions only, advanced and also -6 degrees of timing. Its not variable. Above 3000 RPM, the solenoid opens different oil...
ok makes more sense. Another question is this. I've heard of ways to disable VCT and use the cam gears to change the timing... now the question is... how do...
Reading My 2002 ZETEC-VCT service manual, The VCT is described as a hydraulic piston with two pressure chambers connected to a helical drive to convert the...

hmmm... they won't post. oh well - here's an excerpt from my zx2racing forum post on pots: ran my car for 13 dyno runs, and found the following to be the case:...
<redundant chunks removed...> Cool, I hate to think of running my car without a working temperature gauge especially at full throttle. My impression is the VCT...
Jim, The temp gauge itself works off a different sender, the ECT sender is utilized only for the ECU. When I throw resistance at the circuit, the temp gauge on...
Hi Grant Dont know if its of interest but we at Phoenix Escorts have developed a full range of fitting kits to install the Zetec into the Mk 1 Escort or any...
So there is no way of disabling VCT w/o getting a CEL? ... is ... the temp ... secondary ... it into ... for $45 ... temperature ... retards ... of ... reduce ...
I picked up some info at the PRI show about the new Ford non VCT head available through their performance parts catalog. Lift" intake flow exhaust flow 0.05...
Correct. The Computer can tell the exhaust cam timing by the cam position sensor and will throw a code if its more than a few degrees off. The only way you...
I believe that's true, short of having some kind of special chip burnt. Rob ... _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP...
Glad I could help... my car has a 7000rpm limiter and I'm bouncing off that thing all the time as well... I'm chipping the PCM to get me to 7500rpm, the limit...
Ok, time to revisit some policy. I have the group set to strip attachments, partially because of spam, and partially because my account here at hotmail is...
Hey Rob, Unfortunately there doesnt appear to be an attachment to your last mail which I would love to see. When you say you're chipping your PCM do you mean...
Has anybody seen this focus? Yeah, it is no longer a Zetec, but i sure would love to drive this puppy!!! Don -- I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United...
Rob, You keep teasing us with the missing attachments! Sure would like to see what your motor is doing. As you may recall I'm putting a Zetec into a Lotus...
Donald, Well, no. The picture ws not included. Maybe you can include a link to the picture on some site.. I am going to guess this was the 5.0liter ZX3 from...
