combatsapph Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 If you can't prove the age of the engine then it's tested to the strictes emmissions standard - 0.3% CO, 150ppm HC, 0:97 - 1.03 lambda I believe - tested at idle and fast idle (2000rpm?) so yes, that means a cat and an ECU controlled engine with at least a narrow band sensor and closed loop capablility.

smithaam Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 Sorry yes i meant water pump not fuel I have already fitted the stirring column and oil filter and its fine so no worries there. Thanks for your help people Quote
westy666 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 alternator is anything that fits really as you have so few ancilleries to run most of them will be fine. I used an escort one but had to trim a lug off to clear the inlet manifold. What are you going to be running? carb/injection or the factory injection plenum? I doubt the motor will be a 2000 as they went to black top in late 1997, but it could well be a late silvertop which would mean a cat still ... check the code - if its after 1995 then you need a cat and will probably have issues running carbs aswell due to emissions unfortunately. Do you know if the engine has ever run before? Im guessing youve turned it over by hand etc to check it moves round ok so it sounds like youve got one of the lowest mileage silvertops in the country lol Quote
chazpowerslide Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 The starter is one from a 1.8 CHV Seirra, this will fit the 2.0 Zetec Flywheel. LRS101 rings a bell but I'll check when I get home later today. Chaz. Quote
Kevin Wood Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I think my starter with the standard flywheel was an LRS707. I know I had to change it when I went to a Raceline flywheel due to the depth of the pinion throw being wrong. Kevin Quote
smithaam Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 Cheers for all you help guys, making life easier for me lol Alternator is on order as of today just the water pump to get next week. As of the age of my engine it says RF94B M6015 R65 on the block, I’m guessing it’s a 94 but according to that chart is not on there at all, I’m hoping I have written it down wrong and it should be RP or RB. If it is a 94 does that mean I don’t need a cat? Also I assume I need to prove the age of the engine? I’m running twin 45 Webbers! Thanks Quote
westy666 Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Yep 94 is good for loosing the cat but you will need a proof of age on the motor for the SVA. Never been through an sva myself but i believe you'll still have some emission limits to meet altho you should be able to get thru with the webers for that Quote
peterg Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 QUOTE RF94B M6015 R65 That isn't the engine number that will give you the date... What you're looking for is a feint stamped number (actually 2 letters and 5 digits as stated before) on the flat surface on the exhaust side of the engine just in front of the bellhousing, they are sometimes very difficult to read so a bit of chalk or similar rubbed over the surface can enhance the number a bit QUOTE Once you have the engine number, you can get confirmation of the year of manufacture from: Ford technical information centre PO Box 300 Walsall WS5 4QH at nil cost they just sent a letter to confirm engine serial number installed in a vehicle manufactured in the month of and year... There is a phone number to ring which was 0906 5533447 which was charged at £1 per min Quote
smithaam Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 having problems finding the number but will go have another look in a bit. Thanks for all your help so far Quote
smithaam Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 Here is a picture off the side of my engine. The top right of the main block in red says G305A 2 2 2 2 The bottom of the block also circled in red has 021035607 Both are the only bits I can find that are stamped on the block. Top left not shown is where I found the other bits starting in RF94B... and they are forged onto the block. I cannot find anything else on the block at all??? Could this be that the engine was not actually used in a car? Quote

Could this be that the engine was not actually used in a car? the engine number should be above the thermastat housing on the head. thats where mine was anyway If it's on the head, it aint the engine number... As it is/was probably supplied as a 'crate' engine (or industrial unit as Ford liked to describe them), it is unlikely that it was actually stamped with an engine number. 'Ford' engine numbers, until recently at least, have always been the last seven digits of the car it belonged too. If it was never fitted to a Ford, it wouldnt have a number... Quote
smithaam Posted February 26, 2009 Author Posted February 26, 2009 b****r, going to have major problems getting though the emissions with it! It might be a cheaper option to buy a cheep 94 mondeo and stick that engine in to get me though SVA/IVA I will have the log book then to prove the age of the engine. Quote
RedditchJay Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 when I fitted my 2.0 Silver top into my Westy I got a letter from Ford at Daventry with the old car chasis number the engine was originally fitted in so therefore proof of age and no cat. Mind you my MOT station is "very" good with the emissions check. Quote
