Re: Cylinder heads

Thanks a lot, man, that info really helps me out. So, I'm guessing Zetec parts won't fit the CVH, unless some serious modding is done, such as adding onto a crank, which I've not heard of, and don't think is wise.
I was hoping the Zetec rods would work out....bummer. Oh, are the rumors about 2.0 SPI cranks having 8 weights, no 4, true?

Re: Cylinder heads

I know this thread is several years old but what would you think of using a spacer between the mains and the crankshaft maybe help in place by a pin or dowel and then used with the crank bearings to make the zetec crank work in a cvh block. Also what benefit is there to using a zetec crank, over an spi. Also what do you guys think of tuffride treating an spi crank do you know where to get is done?

There are no benefits to swapping to zetec crank.

Why would you need to do any thing at all to the crank? It's the strongest part of the motor. It can handle more power then anybody on this forum can make.

Re: Cylinder heads

I stumbled across this thread while researching mods for my 94 lx, and was responding with my thoughts on what unexploded cow had posted earlier about trying to swap a zetec crank.
