These engines NEED the crank oil separator / breather system. Mine (1.8 16V Blacktop) got clogged up after the breather hose collapsed; causing the PCV valve to seize etc. This blew out the rocker cover gasket and leaked oil all over the cambelt, auxiliary and alternator. Not the best scenario imo. Better off putting in a catch can system.

Brilliant video guys, quick question where is the engine number located on a RS1800 engine ?

Hello, do you sell the complete engine assembled with all the accessories attached?

Is the budget a blank check 😂

Hello guys I have an mk2 with a single leaf and lowing blocks the rear keeps rubbing the tyres, standard arches,shes very bouncy on the rear would you put these type of springs in and what rear damper would I use, cheers

This was the most helpful video on any escort engine swap ive ever seen. Bravo!

Great instruction. Thank you, I've seen the ongoing Grinder vs Side Cutter flame war, this is an elegant improvement on both.

I've got a black top.2 ltr zetec 16v I've done ur double breather fix .thay came out in 1998 is that right .

Thanks I've got a raw stricker and someone never had the pipe from the pcv going to a catch can so it was leaked all over the engine .I have a black top so I can join the top and pcv pipes together then it goes to a catch can that got a vent on the top .

Cool Car Dave

. Does this work on American clutch lines?

Hi when will you guys make a bda cover for the st170

Any concerns with not having a windage tray or scrapers?

If the sealant is walking out the outside of the sump, doesn't that mean it might also be walking out the inside? Bloody lovely piece of kit mate.

Cool stuff Dave, I've revese engineered some parts for the mk1 cortina including wiring plugs - would you be willing to test a set?

Please correct me if I am wrong? The PCV valve line and the valve cover vent can be linked into the catch can, then the last hose runs back into the throttle body as usual? No venting to atmosphere

Is the black top only 2.0 or does it also come at 1.8l? If so, how does one identify the difference? Thanks

Great , using a rare base model, this is very interesting. Been a mk1 cortina fan since the 60s.

Hi,I’m a big fan from Australia.Love the work you do on keeping the old fords on the road! After some advice,would the Aussie XR5 focus 2.5 turbo engine which I believe is still a Duratec be of use to convert to a mk2 escort? Tia.

How about a fitting guide for the steel front drop sump for a blacktop.

How do you guys go about the speedo, cable drive in the Escort/Cortina joining it up to a Duratec and N7 combo? Do you sell something for that?

Surprised some people's link rods are only 16g erw😮

Great stuff. I don't own a Ford but enjoy watching the parts being produced and developed.

Do you have to use a World Cup cross member with a duratec

Very interesting & I dont even own a mk2 Escort , I've binged watched every bangers & cash

very informative !😀

I need your help about conversion, i need info.

Lovely

Thanks

Nice work Dave, il be ordering one of these for my next project.

Zanussi washing machine 😂😂

These are absolutely amazing and on my list for my long term project.

So.... are we going to learn more about that beautiful Pre-aeroflow in the background?

Is the Spigot Bearing identical for Pintos and Duratecs?

Should have mentioned,don’t forget your sandwich plate if one fitted,I forget every time 😂😂😂

That's a smart tool do you sell them?

will you be doing any videos on the duratec engines?

From PCV and from the valve cover both are joined with the T fitting, and then goes into the canister? The second fitting on the canister will be for the air filter?

Nice

I fit a set of them to my Mk1 in 96….actually they’re still on it

are you doing mk1 50mm springs?

Hi there, we removed the blistern shocks from our RS2000 mk2, and replaced with stock struts, the spring is rubbing on the inside frame, the arm is to short now, and we cant figure out whats the problem, im thinking it may be cross member, any thoughts, cheers SB.

Another awesome product from Retroford

will this work on mk1 fiesta ?

I would love to see a video on you previous cars 👍

Interested in seeing more. I remember the escort long wheel base estate you racing it in santa pod I came from Ireland and got some zetec bits of you while you were qing up for a run

Oh yes, I do

It's a long time since you came round my house in it with a newly installed pinto EFi. Seemed like witchcraft in those days seeing a fuel injected escort. Crawling around underneath it fitting a clutch in the carpark at bruntingthorpe just before its st170 powered high speed drifting was a crazy day out as well. I vote turbo power for it next. Mazda mps duratec or focus rs zetec. Either will do. 280 horsepower to beat. Retro ford not Retrograde.

Yes please Dave!

I'd be interested in seeing more about this car when you get chance. Was it you who did away with the u-bolts and welded a plate to the axle with 4 holes on to match the bottom plate and bolted it together with straight bolts?
