  Hi I'm trying to figure out the simplest way to run a Zetec. A Friend bought a river boat that has a 1.6 crossflow he has spent quite a lot to get the engine up to date it hadn't even had the head done for unleaded and after spending on that and changing every gasket +electronic ignition then the head gasket leaked the electronic ignition gave up. Switching it to a Zetec seems the obvious way to go to me.

  Have a look at my Nodiz video that you will need for the electronics. Your not going to need to change the sump for example as I assume it's just going to sit in place. You will need bike carbs for fueling though but those can be picked up fairly easily in the UK. What a great question for me to answer. Thanks for asking 😊

  Some stuff that I bring on road trips are a "tire worm kit", so you don't have to ruin your tire with goo in case of a puncture. Some extra motor oil, ATF for autos, light bulbs, fuses, relays, spare wires and connectors, electrical tape, couple of nuts and bolts, duct tape, spare fan belt (I actually needed one once and didn't have one!). And it looks like you have space for a cooler box, I bring one when possible because cold drinks really help keep the spirit up especially on a hot summer day with no AC. Have a good trip!

• 
  @mike_themechanic7 күн бұрын

  We have looked at a cooler box but it's probably more hassle that it's worth so we've gone for a cool bag to keep things cool. Alice has only got a 34L fuel tank so we have to stop fairly regularly anyway 🫣

  I had the silver top zetec in my MK1 and with that you could stick a 1.8 head on the 2.0 block and fit the RS turbo steel head gasket which was 0.7mm instead of the standard 2.0mm so with both you got a nice compression raise with out having to skim the block, if it came you it you could still safely take 20-30 thou off it even with high lift cams fitted. Not sure about the black top but all your problems sound tappety / clearance related so a new head would probably sort it if you can't sort out the one you already have.
