2.0l silvertop sump

[leroybrown911]

Hi

I have now sourced a 2.0l silvertop zetec for my roadster! yipee! I remember reading somewhere I need to change the 2.0l mondeo sump for an escort sump and pick up pipe as it is shallower and help the engine fit under the bonnet.

My question is, if anyone can help, which escort do I need the sump off, 1.4/1.6/1.8? Or are they all the same.

Any help much appreciated as always.

Hi, its not an Escort sump, its an 1800 cvh Sierra sump but it still needs shortening usually. You can shorten the alloy sump you have to be honest, but you need the engine mounted to measure by how much, Dennis.

The escort sump is a bit smaller, but not by a great ammount. I've fitted one to my 2.0L silvertop but think I'm going to change it for a steel cvh one.

This is what i shortened on mine, the lower steel piece doesnt have a gasket though and is only sealed with sump sealant, mine leaked first time around so i got the stuff from ford and its oil tight now.

Its the stickiest black horrible stuff known to man, even worse than sikaflex and tigerseal!
