BrianHorn Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 I know you're probably fed up with this question, but I need to know!! Which is 'the' workshop manual to get for xflowed 7's? Thanks, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Brian, If its the Engine - You NEED the Haynes manual for the Ford Kent , on Carbs, Haynes do an excellent manual on Webers. For the rest, the Tony Wheale book on Care & Restoration, along with a Vintage copy of the Build manual. Thats the selection I used for mine, and, although it's now a Zetec, so a copy of the Mondeo manual has been added, it does a good job of answering all but the most obscure questions...

Graham Sewell Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 There is the Haynes book "Rebuilding and Tuning Ford's Kent Crossflow Engine" ISBN 1 85010 938 9; Unfortunately, they no longer list their Escort Mk2 1975-80 1100,1300,1600 service manual that would give you the engine, gearbox, some electrics, clutch, etc.... You may find one in a boot sale somewhere. Low tech luddite - xflow and proud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Brother Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Brian, As mentioned above, the Tony Wheale book is almost a must have for a X-flow engined Seven. The book is currently out of print but can be obtained if you look hard enough. Try searching the archives for past suppliers. The Rebuilding and Tuning Ford's Kent Crossflow Engine book is great for seeing how the engine comes to bits (and goes back together again) and also how to make it a little faster 😬 I would also recommend ISBN 1-901295-64-8 This is "How to build and power tune Weber and Dellorto DCOE carbs. Its a very good book and shows you how to correctly adjust your carbs. Steve Se7en-Up! Less is more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-B Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 what would be the considered best books on a K engine gents 🤔 Steve 210Bhp SV-VHPD click here to see our pictures.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Brother Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Haynes manual for a METRO 😬 😬 😬 Only kidding Not sure, AFAIK the K series was not covered at all in the Tony Weale book. I guess a Rover based Haynes manual and a build manual is about the best you can get. I am not aware of any books relating to tuning the K. Steve Se7en-Up! Less is more!

robert green Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Try this link for the Tony Weale Book www.lotus-books.com I got mine from there a few weeks ago - it's a reprint, but they have plenty. You send a UK cheque to Germany, which seemed a bit odd, but you do get the book. I have a crossflow car and it is an excellent source of information.

BrianHorn Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 Many thanks Robert, the book supplier is in Düsseldorf, only an hour or so from me. I've emailed him. Thanks, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
