REMARKS :
#
for 1st generation engines with hydraulic tappets, single groove valves and cylindrical valve springs (until '97)
#
It is very important to verify the OEM spring type in your engine:
-
The oldest ZETEC hydraulic tappet engine has cylindrical valve springs, which allow a maximum lift of only 9,0mm
-
The newer ZETEC hydraulic tappet engine has tapered valve springs which allow a maximum lift of 11,0mm
#
engine with cylindrical valve springs: single spring [ref. 902-0015] can be used on OEM retainers, or on retainers [ref.99312]
engine with tapered valve springs: single spring [ref. 902-0015] can only be used on retainers [ref.99312]
#
FOR COMPETITION APPLICATIONS ONLY. Following details must be verified:
-
the camshafs must turn smooth in the cylinderhead, provide free travel by machining where needed
-
distance between valve seal and retainer at full lift must be 0.6mm at least
-
minimum valve spring travel of 1.0mm at full lift must be provided
-
distance between valve and piston 1.0mm (pref. 1.5mm). check 5-15° before TDC on exhaust, and after TDC on intake
#
ONLY for use in competition engines with independent engine management (throttle position sensor) or carburettors
