Good evening list, Does anyone know much about the water passages around the cylinders, specifically at the rear of the block. In my quest for a bellhousing to...
John, I don't know the thickness, but any 2lt Pinto or Mustang 2, (or 2lt Capri), should have the correct bellhousing (if from a 4-sp). And if you want to use...

Hello all, My ZX3 is beginning to idle over 1k rpms and I think the problem is with the idle air control valve. Does it have to be replaced or can it be...
It probably is the IACV. It is best to replace it as cleaning is just a temporary fix (if it does fix it). I imagine the new ones are the same as the old ones ...
Thanks Briggs I got through that time. It really answered my questions about some of the engine combinations. See Ya Okie ... From: zetec@yahoogroups.com...
I'm not sure. I would think you could get it from a parts store. If not, www.fordpartsonline.com or Bill Jenkins at Team Ford in Las Vegas can get good prices....
You can try to clean it, but sometimes they just are too gunked up. If yours is not repairable, try a place like www.autop.com or the like (auto parts search...
Ryan, Thanks for the response. I have decided to replace it instead of trying to clean it. I have use the intake cleaner and a toothbrush in the airmeter of...
Hi group I joined the group about a month ago but just figured out how to post messages (says something about my intelligence). I have a 99 "Hot" ZX2 with...

if it's on a 95-97 2.0 zetec, the later 98 up 2.0 zetec's solid tappets are larger in diameter so they will not interchange. the earlier head has small tappets...
I've heard that some solid lifter heads will accept cams with a lot of lift (over 0.400") without spring bind. Does anyone know which year Zetec's will accept...
Hi Craig, We have had this discussion before, but to recap. The ZX2 engine is an extremely difficult engine to upgrade on the inside. This stems from the VCT...
the zx3 engine is the one the aftermarket of late has "focused" on (sorry, couldn't resist) but don't be scared away from the zx2 motor because of the vct. the...
I have been running a 1995 Ford Contour motor since 1996. I changed the cams in 1997 to a Kent FZ2002. This is a hydraulic cam. Excellent range 2000-7000...
HI Craig, It sounds like you have a ZX1 engine. You might check out Burton Power and Dunnell in the U.K. for help. Both companies deal with ZX1's. I think...
I just 6 months ago bought a 2002 ZX2 and had big plans to modify. "Had" in that I totalled it when a guy pulled out in front of me. The vehicle has been...
nope. no difference. the early '98 ZX2s had a few deferens (MAF wiring, and maybe a few other easy fixes) but your application should work fine. My S/R has a...
Hi list, I am getting ready to install a 2000 Ford Focus head on my 95 Block that has the waterpump in the bolck. What do I need to do to make this work? I...
just get a 2000 engine, the 95 block is a 2nd gen zetec, the 2000 head is from a 3rd gen zetec, two totally different engines. The 2000 block/engine is going...
Thanks for the info, John After receiving your e-mail, I found the following information online ... Starting in 1998, Ford began using variable camshaft timing...
The reason why I am using the 95 block is that what works in the car the new blocks will not work I have tried it. As far as internals, the rods and pistons...
