Zetec pipework pictures?
Has anyone got any pictures of the plumbing they've got/done with a zetec engine? Just want to ensure I do it properly 1st time round!
I'm planning on using SFS silicone hoses and a thin-wall metal tube for rad pipework, gonna cost a small fortune me thinks.
And if you're wondering, I haven't got an exhaust manifold as yet - was more concerned with getting the engine up and running before I
started with such trivial matters....
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity!

u2u me with your e-mail address, I will send you my zetec plumbing diagram with photos.
As for thin walled metal tube I used some old hoover extension tubes 38mm dia and lots of rubber hoses cut from various cars at the scrapyard. I only
had to buy one reducer elbow and some straight hose.
If you want to go bling then spend lots of cash on silicone hoses.
Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

Heres mine, top ali hose is a aerial pole from B&Q, 32mm ID
Small output under the main one is a bypass, goes to the bottom hose. This is 22mm copper pipe on mine. Don't do as I did and plumb the header
tank into it, it pushes coolant out when the engine is cold.
I replumbed the header pipe into the bottom hose separate from the bypass hose.

Here you go:
Header tank is tee'd into the heater to bottom hose - hose, the cap on the stat housing is just a cap, not a pressure cap, header tank has the
pressure cap.
Its running a raceline water rail, but thats mainly due to only having 40mm between the head and bulkhead.

Hi
Zetec plumbing at it's most simpelest. Incorporates a header tank for expansion.
