RyanML Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 well, about 3 weeks ago i killed her, bottom end knock!, on the plus side tho ive seen what a 2.0 escort is meant to go like and it was faster than mine for some reason. so now im nearly finished with the engine swap i thought id chuck some pics up new engine is out of a 55k mondeo mk2 silvertop. painted it all up nicely before she went in, new belts, spark plugs, 2.0 lambda sensor... http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b32/Ry1Ry2Ry3/picture.jpgwhere she finally died http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b32/Ry1Ry2Ry3/IMG_0778.jpgold engine out http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b32/Ry1Ry2Ry3/IMG_0803.jpgnew engine all built and ready to go in http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b32/Ry1Ry2Ry3/IMG_0808.jpgcuts on my finger from trying to scrape the metal fillings from the bottom of the sump, needless to say they were pretty much welded to the bottom lol and some pics of it in ready to be put back together... im not doing the gearbox as i dont think it will be long before shes dead, and when the time comes there will be somthing a bit nice going in... http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b32/Ry1Ry2Ry3/IMG_0818.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b32/Ry1Ry2Ry3/IMG_0822.jpg should be finishing her off tomorrow and be back on the road then!

Stu Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 cuts on my finger from trying to scrape the metal fillings from the bottom of the sump, needless to say they were pretty much welded to the bottom lol That's just the remains from the casting process, not metal filings.. all zetec sumps are like that.

16Vrhys Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 how was the engine change ? did you find that you had enough room to drop the engine out with out having to move the gear box over to be able to have enough room to remove the gear box ? found this problem on the fiesta which meant having to move the gear box out of the way but i ended out taking it out and putting it in , in one lump . how did you go about lining up the gear box?
