zetec blacktop sump?
AndyW - 15/4/11 at 03:32 PM

For some reason beyond my computer skills, when ever I search for something it returns 2 million topics which bear no resembalance to what I want. So here is my question's for the day.

1) Im using a 2.0 blacktop zetec, type 9 box and standard flywheel. What release bearing do I use and also anything else?

Question number

2) Who can modify my sump for me without it costing the price of a new kit car? (I have the standard 2.0 sump)

any help, advise, answers, suggestions welcome as I want to finally marry the engine to the box and fit it in the car some time before the next new year........

PS If you are a skilled or semi skiled welder and can make/modify my sump, please u2u me how much you want or post if you want the world to see........

I can't answer the question on release bearing as I used a 1.8 CVH flywheel and clutch, but it is worth getting a 1.8 flywheel as they are much lighter.


2) Who can modify my sump for me without it costing the price of a new kit car? (I have the standard 2.0 sump).

You don't need to be much of a welder to do this. I just cut my sump pan so it was level and welded a flat piece of plate on the bottom. It looses a bit of oil capacity but not much.

I am not much of a welder, in fact never welded, nor own a welder

My point was that just about any place that does a bit of welding should be able to help you out if you cut the sump and make a plate to weld it up with.

if your using the standard 2.0 zetec flywheel and clutch. You can use the release cct303 bearing. This is what i used on mine. The info came from the zetec website here

you also need to shorten the oil pick up pipe

You can buy a steel pick up pipe it makes it easier to modify

I think I may have not got my message accross properly. Is there anyone on here that would shorten my existing sump and pick up for me in exchange for beer tokens?

Is it the 2l flywheel????????????

I used this website (Zetecinsde.com) for some of the information on fitting a 2.0L zetec Blacktop to Type 9 gearbox, gives you all the information you need.
