The steering will also be very vague, but replacing the bushes is easy and cheap. Knocking: knocking from the front suspension suggests the anti-roll bar bushes have worn.Whining: although a constant whining from the rear suggests a worn differential, if the noise is only there during cornering it’s because the wheelbearings need replacing.Gearbox crunching: if the gearbox crunches as you’re changing ratios, it’s probably a stretched clutch cable, which eventually breaks.

#1975 ford engine codes manual

Listen for rumbling bearings in the first three gears of a manual gearbox once they start making a noise they’ll soldier on for years without problems. Gearbox bearings: autos just keep going.The Twin Cam, RS1600 and Mexico had a unit like that in the Cortina and Corsair (known as the 2000e gearbox) – while the RS2000 had its own transmission. Of the three different manual transmissions fitted, the 1.1 and 1.3-litre cars have their own ‘box, but with closer ratios if the car was a GT or Sport. Transmission: Escorts with a Kent engine could be fitted with a three-speed Borg Warner automatic transmission, but most cars got a four-speed manual gearbox.Timing belt: the Pinto engine has a rubber timing belt that can fail prematurely, but it’s cheap and easy to renew.Cam followers: the Kent engine suffers from worn cam followers, so listen for noisy tappets.The BDA and Twin Cam are much harder to work on and parts are far more expensive. The RS1600 has a 16-valve Cosworth-developed 1599cc twin-cam BDA engine and the Twin Cam features a Lotus Cortina-derived powerplant. Engines: cooking Escorts use Ford’s Kent engine, in 1098cc or 1298cc guises, with a 1598cc edition in the Mexico the RS2000 got a 1993cc Pinto unit.Even better is the fact that tuning and upgrading the cars is so straightforward, with dozens of suppliers able to sell you bits to modify any of the mechanicals. From unfeasibly cheap load carrier to tyre-smoking sportscar, there’s a version for every occasion. The choice of Escort Mk1s may be bewildering, but that’s because there really is something for everyone. But you don’t need massive performance and go-faster stripes to enjoy Escort motoring. The RS1600, Mexico and Twin Cam were all the work of Ford’s Advanced Vehicle Operations (AVO) department, and these models are now the most sought after – although the RS2000 is also coveted. Now, the Escort Mk1 remains eminently affordable, although some versions are more attainable than others. So it didn’t matter whether your thing was a 1.1-litre runabout or a snarling high-revving twin-cam, there was an Escort for you. Such success was guaranteed by low pricing and a huge range of derivatives thanks to various body styles and a wide range of engines.

Some examples offer more of these elements than others (1.1-litre cars don’t go too large on the fun factor), but whichever version you buy, those revvy engines and rear-wheel drive combine to give a great mix of driver satisfaction.ĭuring seven years of production, more than two million Mk1 Escorts found buyers. And in all the intervening years nothing has changed – Ford’s hugely successful Anglia replacement still offers cheap and fun motoring, with reliability and style.

You can look up this code online to see the specs of your current engine.From affordable road car to highly competitive race and rally car, the Ford Escort Mk1 has worn many hats over the years.

Engine Code Number: This final 3-digit number is the ID of your particular engine.

(assuming the year code is for the 70's). 0-A would mean January 1970, 5-C March 1975, etc. There is no "i" so people don't confuse it the number 1. The months are in alphabetical order, so A = January and M = December.

Month Built: This hyphenated number and letter correspond to the month.

70, for example, would mean it was made in 1970.

Year: The next two numbers are for the year the engine was built.

"C" is for Cleveland, "E" is for Ensite, Canada, and "W" is for Windsor, Canada.

Manufacturing Plant: The single letter to the right of the CID is where the engine was built.

Cubic Inch Displacement (CID): The first three numbers, found in the upper left corner, tell you the size of the engine.

From upper left to bottom right: X Research source Luckily, the tags are simple to breakdown.

Once you've found the identification tag, you need to know how to read it to get the right information.

The more famous #LotusCortina is the original - 1963’s Mk1, but there were two. Different and worthy in other ways, the Mk2 was more of an in-house creation and meant to be easier to live with for non-racers. It’s overshadowed by the earlier car’s huge competition success but the Mk2 actually sold better. Although a Lotus twin-cam was still at the heart of the car, the Mk2 was mostly the work of Ford of England’s competitions department at Boreham, run by Henry Taylor. The Mk1 was a legend in its own time, dominating British and European touring car racing in 1964 and still being very competitive in 1965 and 1966 - but it wasn’t always so easy to live with as a car you drove every day. The early cars had direct input from Colin Chapman and his team at Lotus, but like Lotuses, they could be fragile. Owners and Dealers alike complained about various breakages, and Ford gradually rationalized the car to make it easier for non-racers to live with - eliminating the alloy pieces (body and mechanical) and eventually the trick rear suspension. With Lotus busy creating a new factory and new cars, it was mostly Boreham’s rally men that altered the Mk1 into a more reliable car, so they also contributed to the Mk1 legend. The Mk2 Cortina, designed under Roy Haynes, was essentially more of the formula that had worked so well for the Mk1, just with a big (and very American) styling update. Led by the success of the Mustang, Ford felt that a more basic version of the car would be easier and cheaper to produce (and could be built at Dagenham/Halewood), but only retain its cred if real performance options were available. Even the green stripe would be optional. Ford dispatched early 2-door shells to Boreham in April of ‘66 to create the package. Led by Taylor (himself a mk1 racer) and engineer Bill Meade, they were to keep the Lotus as close to the Cortina GT as possible but develop a range of performance bits that could make it as wild as the mk1 for those who wanted. As a result, the basic mk2 was close to the Cortina GT aside from an altered suspension and the Lotus motor, but the formula that worked very well in attracting real racers as well as those who only dabbled. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEUnVZBFmgN/?igshid=111r43aldfixi
