New 2 Litre Zetec Engine
31/03/2007
Picked up my new (or not so new) Zetec engine today. After a frantic last minute bidding war on eBay that saw it go from £81 to £151 in the space of a minute!
Its an October 1994 Silvertop unit, this is critical to my car passing its SVA, for emissions reasons as discussed in another post. The engine has covered 86,000 miles and was running shortly before it was removed from the car. No obvious damage or problems. The mileage is quite good for the age and type of car. The oil seemed clear and there were no obvious leaks which is all encouraging. I have been told it was a good running engine prior to its dismantling, I will just have to take their word for it.
Borrowed the trusty transit again to nip up to Birmingham to get the engine.
Work will be starting on refurbishing this later in the build. Only job for now is to get the engine validated by Ford and a letter sent out prooving the age for the SVA inspector to see.
