Zetec Auto Question

[Wessie]

got myself an x plate 2.0 mondildo ghia X today - are the manual and auto blocks the same?

 

i thank you

[caprinerd]

yes there the same the only difference is the sprigot bearing

[emu]

Isnt the crank sensor mounting different on the auto's too? I seem to think they are, but that they are just a bolt-in plastic adaptor type affair.

yes the sensor is different. you gonna need a manual one

[zetecmk2]

yep, the only other difference is the cps housing, bolts on from behind the flywheel, so change it before you fit the flywheel, don't build it up, then try and find out why you have no spark!! let some other idiot make that mistake and learn from them! no spigot bearing in either but it fits in both cranks so they maybe the same!

im not sure but i think the sumps are different if that matters or not?

[vibrating_Cake]

sump needs changing anyways

[Wessie]

so if i was to buy a manual engine, i would have to change the sump, spigot bearing, crank sensor and the cps housing. anything else?

 

cheers for the help guys

[zetecmk2]

the crank's are the same, zetec engines don't have a spigot bearing, so whatever you get, auto or manual, you'll need to put a spigot bearing in the end

[radar tech]

if you get a manual engine you need to change sump and pickup pipe / engine mounts / spigot bearing and all the cooling stuff

cheers for your help guys
