First off what a piece of shit.
This is a common problem. Does anyone know of any motors laying around? just to get this thing running. It bend a rod and broke a piston. ford wants 2 weeks to get the piston and rod and $150.
does anyone know anything about swapping the motors?
to one with ztac?
call route 51 auto salvage. i just got a transmission for a ford focus there a few weeks ago. they had several ford focus’s. i would put another motor in before going through all the trouble of putting a piston in.
I called he can get em. for $900.
wonderful.
give me more details,i beat bones(works @ 51) up on the price for u!
2000 ford focus SOHC!
“spi” motor
8th digit of the vin
$800 is the best he can do,there bad motors & he can sell 10 a week if he has them
ok. Thanks pewter!! I will try and gather funds and let you know.
No doubt he can sell 10 a week! I cant believe ford would let this go like this.
split ports suck!
i would not reuse the old intake manifold! i’ve seen pieces of crap get stuck in them from engine failure and wipe out a new reman motor
listen to what he has to say working at ford he sees lot of this crap!
thanks for your input when i need it
So call bones and tell him Brian sent me?
yup,from JJ’s
