Zetec Flywheel Again!
At some point I'll need to get hold off a 1.8 Zetec flywheel.
How easy is it to identify the 1.8 - don't want to end up with a 2.0 by mistake.
Also, does anyone know if the 1.6 is the same?
Thanks
Stu

If you can lift it it's probably a 1.8.
2.0 is F***ing HUGE
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want!!!

Engine Block has 2.0 or 1.8 stamped on the side. Also the cam cover has label with 1.8 or 2.0.

Thanks
Jim - I meant identifying it if the flywheel is separated from the engine.

Zetec Flywheels
I have been out to the garage and photographed and weighed my 2 Zetec flywheels .
I cant weigh my 1800cvh it's in the car but if someone has one sitting about that would be interesting
info................

Thanks Dave
I've got a spare cvh 1.8 in the garage - I'll take the flywheel off and weight it when I get a minute.
Cheers

Just weighed the CVH Flywheel and it is 6.8Kg, so considerably lighter than the Zetec one.
If I can find an easy way of mounting a crank position trigger on the Zetec I could use this and all the CVH clutch components.

Shock horror!!!
That's surprising , so if you use the 1800cvh flywheel and clutch , do you still need the ct133 release bearing, I'm sure I asked this
before
Also if you lightened the 1800cvh flywheel it could be even better.

Hi
Hope this makes sense!
I've measured how much the mounting face on the end of the crank [where the flywheel bolts to] protrudes from the casting on the engine [where
it bolts to the gearbox].
On both the 1.8 Zetec and 1.8 CVH it is approx 16mm.
This means that if using the CVH flywheel, all the CVH clutch bits could be used, inc the release bearing as the flywheel would be in exactly the same
place in relation to the gearbox.
Having had a look I also think it should be quite straightforward to weld the CVH crank position trigger ring to the Zetec crank pulley and mount the
crank trigger at the front.
