currently got a cvh motor fitted and hammered the box see pic below, so looks like going to have to cut it out and weld a bit of straight pipe

Does anyone know if there is a smaller starter motor than the cvh one that has the power to start a zetec engine, having a bit of a problem with OBX downpipe shorting the motor out |

the CVH is the shorter one anyways...other than an expensive epicyclic motor....if its not by much id be inclined to put a small flat in the pipe with a hammer where the terminal is. its not going to aversely affect flow. |

think the longer Si BOSCH starter motor is 193mm long from mounting flange face, how long is one you have fitted? think the smaller one is CVH

Have you tryed manifold heatwrap? That might stop the shorting due to the wrap being non conductive |

Get a starter motor from a smaller engine car. I couldnt fit a zetec or cvh one in with my manifold so got one off a 1.1 and it does the job fine |

use one off a 1.0/1.1/1.3 from a mk3/4 escort or early mk3 fiesta base model, they are only about 4inches long |

I tried a 1.1 starter back on my 2.0 and it wasn't long before it died, the bigger ones are bigger for a reason. |
