Hey I just bought a 2L mk2 escort planning on taking out the engine and gearbox to put into my 1.6L mk2 escort that is in better condition. I was just wondering if anyone knew what gaskets/seals/parts I should replace whilst the new engine is out of the car?
Thanks |

Manifold gaskets, three front oil seals, rear main seal, tappet cover gasket, Sump gasket.
Obvious things like oil, oil filter, plugs, points, etc Check condition of cam - largest journal is at rear of head, if cam is worn best to replace now rather than having to remove the head down the track to do the job. Always a good idea to replace the cam belt while you have easy access. Check, and I mean really check your welch plugs, particulalrly the in the back of the engine. |

Yep - any sign of corrosion replace them; MUCH easier to do it out of the car...

Welsh plugs are dirt cheap, and total failure is ultra-catatrophic ($$$$$)
