Silver top alloy sump what is the difference between the 2.0 and 1.8 sumps if any if different how can you tell.
Thanks.
the escort 1.8 sumps are shallower than the 2 litre ones.
So would a 1.8 silver top sump fit a 2.0 silver top?
It will have to have the depth reduced anyway.
Thanks
Yes it will fit ok, all 1.6 1.8 and 2.0 have the same stroke, so no worries there. Remember you may need to re-calibrate the dipstick for the correct ammount of oil for the engine size.
thanks

The bowl is at the front on the escort and back on the mondeo.
When getting another sump make sure you get the windage tray and oil pick up pipe as they are differant.
It will go on. get the dipstick, dipstick tube and pick up from the escort 1.8 lump.
Mine hangs quite low under the chassis. When i sva'd it the sump bottomed out on the brake rollers and we had to lift the car out as it was
stuck in.
thanks for the info i have purchased a modded zetec sump but i am not sure what it was off i do not have an engine yet but am collecting all the bits i need ....for a zetec conversion
