If you get a Haynes manual for an Escort covering up to the year 2000, it will have the Zetec engine in it. After all the ZX2 is actually the Escort ZX2 for...
I have a Chilton cd that I bought from Wal-Mart for $20 and it does up to the 99 ZX2's Patrick ... From: andrew ambrus To: zetec@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday,...
I think you are completely missing the point or have some reading comprehension issues. The regular escort DID NOT HAVE TWO ENGINE OPTIONS. THE ZETEC WAS...
Chris, I have a 2002 zx2 and to the best of my knowledge, there was no 4 door Escort that year. I purchased a copy of the Ford Service Manuals on CD on E-Bay....
Actually, the 4 door escort was produced until the 2002 model year, but only sold to rental companies and large corporate accounts and used as dealer service...
Not a rebuild, but a brand new - still on the manufacturers shipping pallet - 1.8L Zetec Engine. Has all manifolds (inlet and exhaust), fuel injection and a...
as far as I know yes.. according to Chilton and Haynes the zetec 2.0 DOC and the SPI have the same tranny mounts. Also if anyone is interested I have a Chilton...
In theory it should, since all Ford 4 cylinder engines (1600 through Zetec), except the Lima and Mazda derivatives (including the Duratec), have the same bell...
HI Andrew, Jacoby is correct, In a effort to streamline production of Ford parts the bolt patterns for all Forrd 4 cylinder bell housings are the same. This...
All For what its worth, I have mated an 1800 Zetec to a 1978 Ford Cortina bellhousing. The main bolts and dowels align, but additional holes needed to be...
I have a 2000 ZX3 crate engine I was going to use in a Lotus Project. Sold the car w/o finishing conversion. Never installed, never run, as new from Ford....
My Escort ZX2 (5-speed) has 82000 miles on it, and has been running great for the past 7 years. Now however, there's a loud repetitive squeak coming from my...
Does it change when you depress the clutch? If not, it has nothing to do with the thrust bearing. More likely the source of the noise is the lower cam belt...
I had the problem on my '98 Zx2....replaced the idler pulley and no more squeak...happens in 1st and 2nd gear at low RPM too? Also when you turn off the car...
Has anyone with the ZX-2 or Contour motor with the VCT cam and a variable pulley on the intake cam, tried adavncing the intake cam? And if so how much and what...
Russ, I thought the function of the VCT itself was to advance the intake timing, increasing the overlap with the exhaust performing the functions that EGR is...
Hi Jim, Well you have some point's right. The VCT on the Zetec was only on the exhaust camshaft; it provided improved low-end torque, fuel economy and gave...
Hi Russ, I have the now older version of the K3 emerald ECU running my car. I am going to upgrade my ECU to the K3 the next time I am in Europe, as the...
Hi Michael, Thanks for the reply. I am in the process of trying to find a new ECU for my Zetec with VCT. I had originally researched all the ECU's out on...

This list is fairly dead. I imagine there is a good forum out there but I don't know what it is. You can post at contour.org and get some info. Though about...
What do you want to know? I was one of the first one's in the states to put a Zetec in a Caterham. I am currently making around 220hp in the last modification...
How do I tell the difference between the engines. How do I if an engine is a ZX1 2 or 3 From what I understand the 2 with the variable timing is more...
The vct models usually say vct on the valve cover and one o the cams will have the vct thing on the end. It will also have the vct soleenoid out of the valve...
