Talk:Ford CVH engine

North American use
The CVH was also produced in a North American version about the same time, for the Ford Escort, built in the Dearborn Engine Plant. They shared a lot of basic engineering but the final development I believe was largely separate. I think we should add some North American info to this page but at the moment I am working mostly off of memory so I am reluctant to edit immediately.... Pmeisel 04:28, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)


 * Added some info, but the North American usage lasted in the Escort somewhat longer, I just can't find the exact reference at the moment.

1.1 CVH in the UK
The 1.1 CVH engine was also used in some UK spec i.e. RHD Escort vans during 1983/84. They were apparently sold to a few fleets and the dealers knew nothing about them!

I've only seen one at close quarters a few days after delivery, the recipient was less than pleased as all the other ones supplied his colleagues in that particular batch had 1.3's

2.3 and 2.5 engines
These engines are of the Pinto/Lima design, not the CVH design. This information is already covered in Ford Pinto engine amongst other places.

Was there a Fuel Injected CVH 1.4 ?
The issues relating to the 1.4 version of this engine appear to refer specifically to carburettor editions. Was there a fuel injected edition, and would this have solved some of the problems such as those of power deficiencies resulting from the original lean-burn carburettor and low vacuum pressure on an engine with worn parts ? --Minotaur500 00:40, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Valve stem seals
The hardening of valve stem seals is a common problem across many engine types and the tools to replace valve stem seals without removing the head gasket (spark plug to air compressor, or feeding a rope into the cylinder) are standard mechanic procedures and not of significance to this engine type. Accordingly I have removed this section. 50.206.120.10 (talk) Bruce Peterson —Preceding undated comment added 21:32, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
