I'm not sure what the motor was out of. But it says right on the wire cover, "Zetec". I was hoping it would fit mine, but the valve cover is different and the holes are in different places...

maybe you can get the one I gave to a friend from him, he didnt use it since he blew himself up with it (cleaning it and smoking maybe?)

the zteck is lower and has no provision for the cam selinoid.... the zx2 z cover is taller and looks simaliar but i wanna give the svt motor a plain jane look. :twisted:

How about Steve? Most salvage yards won't sell just that since it would ruin the whole motor sale...

You do know that the ZX2 cover won't work on the SVT engine don't you?

The ZX2 engine did use variable cam timing but it was on the exhaust cam, the SVT is on the intake cam and is a totally different system.

As I said in my previous post before I found this one, The ZX2 cover no worky on an SVT.

does a focus zetec cover fit on the SVT? If so, i'd probably trade at the next meet

just curiour, what makes it not work, the hole for the solenoid in a diff spot, or is there a different shape in some spots for clearance reasons?

The hole for the solenoid is in a different spot because as I mentioned before one has variable intake timing and the other is exhaust besides the systems work differently anyways.

A Focus Zetec valve cover won't work because it has no vct and therefore no hole for the solenoid.

I believe that a ZX2 cover might work on a Focus Zetec but I am not sure.

Focinite, get the SVT cover powder coated if you want a different look.
