these arent the 2.0Lzetec from the focus, theyre from the 2.0L escorts, very similar but the internals are different,
the stock focus svt's can make 350whp no problem tho.

---- that engine....
i had one in my Contour and it was a POS. replaced the motor, and it was still shitty.
the ****** liked to overheat..... so i replace....
radiator
hose
tstat
fan (and added a second fan)
heater core
coolant flush
eventually ended up pulling the OEM engine and put in a JY rebuilt and it still overheated.
ended up selling to some schmuck on CL for $1000 more than it was worth.
