DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

ENGINE
MY
2002 Ford Focus LX
The 2.0L Duratec ST engine is based on the 2.0L Zetec-E engine. In comparison to the 2.0L
Zetec -E engine the modifications are:
Cylinder Block
part modified to include piston spray jets.

Cylinder Head
Inlet Port: - High flow design with new manifold break-out.
Exhaust Port: - Standard port but with secondary air feed to the back of the exhaust valve.
cardiagn.com
Water Jacket: - Revised flow around ports.
Oil feed arrangement for variable valve timing installation.
Incorporation of VCT (variable camshaft timing) solenoid in front camshaft bearing cap.
Inlet Valves
33.5 mm diameter with revised spacing to maintain bridge material and longer length for new
port.
Exhaust Valves
Standard diameter but longer to commonise tappet with the inlet side.
Inlet Camshaft
Increased lift and duration with variable timing.
Trigger wheel fitted to indicate cam position.

Exhaust Camshaft
Increased lift and duration.

Tappet
Series of sizes commencing with unique graded part to suit new length valve and revised cam
profile.
Valve Springs
MY
2002 Ford Focus LX
Inlet and Exhaust unique parts to suit new valve lengths and revised cam profiles.
Power Cell Assembly
Piston with 20 mm diameter gudgeon pin.
Connecting Rod - Forged fracture-split design.
Top piston ring - Internal bevel to reduce blow-by of combustion gasses and negative ovality of
the ring ends to reduce wear.
Cam Cover Assembly
cardiagn.com
Re-styled and revised to suit new VCT solenoid installation. Cam Cover and Gasket Assembly.
Upper Timing Belt Cover Assembly
Re-styled to include VCT pulley.

Front Engine Mount
Mounting studs moved to clear VCT pulley.

Alternator Bracket
Modified to accommodate revised engine mount.

Intake Manifold
Made up of two assemblies replacing the single piece manifold with fixed length tracts.
Plenum Assembly
Housing Assembly -Manifold-Injectors
Variable-length intake runner design.
The unit is in the short runner position with the engine off and then switches to the long runner
position when the engine starts. The runners then switch to short runner position above 6000
RPM.
Throttle Body
Modified 63 mm diameter part.

Injectors
MY
2002 Ford Focus LX
Increased flow items specified as 224.8 g/min at 2.7 bar (normal fuel rail pressure)
Fuel Rail
Redesigned part with integral damper and no fuel return connection. The fuel inlet to the rail has
been repositioned requiring a new fuel feed hose assembly.
Flywheel Assembly
Dual mass flywheel.

Clutch Assembly
Friction plate - increased diameter.
cardiagn.com
Pressure plate - increased diameter.
Oil Cooler
Modine type.
Variable Cam Timing System
Variable Timing Unit Assembly

Solenoid Assembly
Oil Separator Assembly
Internal changes to improve performance under high cornering loads - to be introduced onto base
engine.
Exhaust System
Tuned 4-2-1 system with the catalyst located under the oil pan.

CAUTION: Do not pull the spark plug connectors by the ignition

wires when removing them. If necessary pull off the
ignition wires from the ignition coils to prevent kinking
the ignition wires. Slightly twist the spark plug
connectors before removing them in order to loosen the
seals.
CAUTION: Pull off the spark plug connectors in line with the spark
plugs.
NOTE: Loosening sequence: from the outside to the inside, working

diagonally.

5. Rotate the crankshaft until piston No. 1 is at top dead center (TDC).
NOTE: Note down each cylinder number and the valve clearances
measured.
NOTE: Only rotate the crankshaft in the normal direction of rotation.
6. Using a suitable set of feeler gauges, measure the valve clearance.

Permitted valve clearance: inlet (0.21 - 0.29 mm)
Permitted valve clearance: exhaust (0.32 - 0.40 mm)

MY

Fig. 5: Measuring Valve Clearance Using Suitable Set Of Feeler Gauges
NOTE: Only carry out the following steps when the valve clearance(s)
require adjustment.
7. Remove the camshafts. For additional information, refer to CAMSHAFT .
NOTE: Aim to set the valve clearance to the middle of the range (inlet
0.25 mm; exhaust 0.36 mm)
NOTE: The number on the valve tappet indicates the valve tappet
thickness.
MY
2002 Ford Focus LX
8. Determine the tappet thickness required.

Remove the valve tappet and read the thickness from the underside.
Calculate the valve tappet thickness required and insert the correct tappet.
Inlet valves: tappet thickness required = thickness of currently installed tappets +

measured valve clearance - 0.25 mm.
Exhaust valves: tappet thickness required = thickness of currently installed
tappets + measured valve clearance - 0.36 mm.
CAUTION: Rotate the crankshaft until piston No. 1 is approximately

25 mm before TDC (BTDC).
