Swapping a Wrecked Ford Fiesta Zetec Engine - Compatible?

patman99

Got the same thing myself. Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec. Engine overheated by previous owner so get low speed vibration from slightly bent valve.
My mechanic (ex-Ford maindealer) recommended a swap-out, told me to go by the colour of the cam-cover as each type of engine has a slightly different one.. Not sure if Fiesta would be the same.

Whilst I agree with you that exactly the same will be the most straight forward to swap over, most 1.25, 1.6, and 1.7's can be made to fit without too much extra work.

What year Fiesta is the first photo from?

look at the pictures man
if he buys the wrong one all the bits he needs like airbox are incompatable
remember a fitter is fitting,hes not doing this himself with full workshop facilities hes paying a man to throw the donkey in
and although its ages since i dealt with these fords i think you are wrong anyway in relation to the ecu and the two types i posted
(did you see the pictures i posted?)
