the head does indeed bolt on, and the cam belts/idlers/belts are the same, but the loss of vct will enable a fault code in a ZX2 pcm. BTW, I sell a bare head,...
the code fault is the reason I mentioned the required change in wiring and computer. The solinoid is gone, the VCT exhaust cam is gone, and the exhaust side...

Anyone ever replace the slave cylinder/release bearing assembly on the ZX3? Do I need to bleed the slave before separating the bellhousing from the block? I...
I suggest the highest octane you can use without screwing with lead and similar oxygen sensor destroying additives. Most production cars running 10.5:1 get...
The OEM zetec head comes with 32 mm intake valves, the Ford racing head comes with 33 mm valves. That 1 mm (.040") makes for a pretty significant increase in...
