I have been waiting for long time to do this conversion as some of you know, been salvaging and saving for over a year now so I thought I get my arse into gear and get this done for FITP (fingers crossed), so basicly I will have a fullly rebuild 2.0 zetec engine with a full rolling shell respray by the end of next month.

But here are some pics of what I have been upto in the last month I have been rebuilding wasn't going to do that much but i got carried away










Might not look alot, but it has takern some time to get all these bits, more close ups in gallery



New piston rings



New big ends and small ends Shells





Block freshley skimmed and honed



Pistons stripped



New shells and rings fitted



Painted block



Oil and water pumped fitted and Sump





And this is how its sits at the moment waiting to be timed up and waiting for new powder coated parts

Cheers

good man, but what about the rest

[boycie]

excelent, well done

[Rhinopower]

very very nice bit of work there

how much is the engine overhaul costing you?

[ianFRST]

glad to see your doind it properly

[mike-xr2i-]

hey, just for the record you would get much more power and a torquier car by just fitting another 1.0 HCS engine in the boot of the car aswell, rather than fitting the 2l upfront.



... 'waits for the replies to this one'....

[nick050]

Looks good mate going to be watching this thread closley may do a 1.0-2.0 conversion on mine in a few years

[fiestakingfisher]

nice one

What I had done on mine. But it was kinda 1.0 - 1.1 - 2.0 but same end result hehe

[knuckles]

Looking good matey. i wanted to do the same sorta rebuild with the 2i engine i brought today but since my other engine decided to blow up on me i cant do it now.

[Excursion]

Fair play for rebuilding it mate, didn't look like it'd done much work!

[Cellze]

Thanks for everyones replys there are some more pics of the engine rebuild but there are on my mates camera still, I post them up once I get them off of him.

The engine is all timied up now just getting the new mounts sorted and some more new bits from fords should have flywheel and new clutch fitted this weekend

At the moment I have been working on the car taking it off the road and getting it ready repairs and full respray should be going on monday.


Just before ripping out the 1.0, already stripped the interior the day before



Bye Bye 1.0



Dirty engine bay

Double post

[Ghost]

is that the new modified slam pannel??

[robsonsfiesta]

One thing, you have bought what appears to be a standard 2.0 mondeo oil filter, it is too big and will bang on the bulkhead, you need to fit a fiesta mk3 HCS/CVH one. The one i use is from halfords, model number ' HOF200 '

[Cellze]

Ghost: I am going for the full Mk5 look just getting rid of the old rusted parts?

robsonsfiesta: It should be fine as I am running the RS1800 oil pump, the bigger the filter the better but I will have to wait and see once its fitted. cheers tho

oh i see..... my appologies

[ianFRST]

standard zetec oil filter fits no probs mate

[scarlet_pimp_mobile]

Woah! having the works done!?

Looks like it'll be a very special fez afterward.

Are you keeping it white?

[Cellze]

Thanks for everyones replys I haven't had the time, for a long time to post any updates been working on the car solid with loads of problems but got everything nearly sorted now.

You may have guessed that I didn't make it to FITP in the car so close, but made it down with Knuckles and Ghost instead. Thanks

I have been without a camera since my car went to the bodyshop which broke, so I have been relying on mates cameras, which has taken ages to get the pics off of them.

I am still waiting for more pics finishing of the engine rebuild but here are some of whats been going on in last couple of months. This gonna take a while?

Back fom the bodyshop Full respray in Bright White











Organic sport clutch kit fitted



Treated tank



Freshly painted



Powdered coated parts









RS1800 manifold and throttle body cleaned and painted



Skimmed cam cover





Only pics i have with engine in and at home








New Driveshafts


Driveshafts all fitted up to my rst gearbox and you can just see the modified clutch cover plate where the 2.0 starter motor would have gone



Injector rail



Inlet manifold















This is at its present state still waiting for my bumpers to be finished which has let me down the most . Now all running and alarmed which is a big thanks to Rhinopower for fixing all the wiring probs, other than that its all ready to go but I still some more little mods to do



Brand new rad







Thanks for everyone's help?

Cheers
