New Silver Top Zetec engine

I got An engine!!! I finally got an engine off of ebay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/) Its a silvertop zetec 2.0L out of a mondeo, complete with all ancillaries. For only £0.99 The zetec engine will mate to the Type 9 gearbox quite easily. All you need to do is press a spigot bearing into the end of the crank using a drift. This is a small roller bearing around 20mm in diameter. The Ford part number is FINIS code 1554973 shown below.

The the gearbox input shaft then slots into the bearing to support it as the engine rotates. I'm using the standard 2.0 litre Zetec flywheel and clutch and a clutch release bearing from a 1971-88 Ford Transit 2.4/2.5 diesel (Quinton Hazell part CCT303).

Water pumps should be as per Escort (Late model e.g. "P reg." 1.8 16V if asking at a motor factors), as the rotation being opposite to the Mondeo. This allows you to remove all the extra pullys and the serpentine belt system and fit a smaller belt. If you do this and don't change the pump it will spin backwards and ur nice new engine will overheat.
Identification can be made via the pulley type; Escort has a grooved pulley (runs same side of belt as the crank) which you will need, Mondeo has a smooth pulley (runs on the back of the belt, hence the difference in pump rotation direction.

Note that when changing the water pump, the cam belt needs to be removed, and following the correct procedure for doing this requires the following components:
New cam cover gasket
Tensioner spring kit - a "spring tensioner" {Ford part: 7024224} and "screw special" {Ford part: 1663884} only apparently available from Ford. This is only required for engines still running their original cam belt, and those apparently produced before 5/1998 - late engines run a different belt configuration with a 'self tensioning' tensioner!
New cam belt is strongly recommended as 16 bent valves can be expensive.


You will also need a new alternator mounting bracket which is availible from Tiger (http://www.tigerracing.com/).
