1999 1.6LX - Needs replacement engine - TomSheffield
Hi there,
i've got a pretty old 1999, 110,000 miles ford focus 1.6 LX, and last week the cam belt went on it. I'm thinking i'll just drop a new engine in it, but i can't seem to find anyone who knows about the compatability of the engine types...

I think they've changed the engine from 1999 ish onwards, so i would guess that mine is the old type. Does anyone know if old and new are compatible?

Are the 1.6 zetec engines in older ford escorts the same?

Thanks for your responces,
Tom

Why not save yourself a lot of grief and just drop an exchange Ford head on it. There are a lot of different Focus Zetecs and the Escort Zetec is totally different.

110,000 is nothing on one of those - provided that the cam-belts are changed on time.

Escort Zetec is very different, the one on the Escort is more of a modified CVH 16v engine than a true zetec in the modern sense of the world
