Call Me Dubstep Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Not sure how he can say say sounds like a bad crankshaft o-rings with out looking at it. Specially if it's spraying on the alt. He said from what it sounds like, plus he said its more of a common thing on a Focus, but he is still going to check 2000 Ford Focus ZX3 Mods: Raceland Coilovers Borla Exhaust Aftermarket Header System: Sony CDX-GT66UPW Pioneer 6x8's System Upgrades : Pioneer MVH-X560BT 2 sets of Rockford Fosgate P1683's Fi Audio Q 18" D2 ( Currently Own) DD M1C ( Currently Own) All SHCA Wires and stuff...

OrionStang Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Here's what I would do, but I like easy shit. Clean the engine of all the oil. Then, with the hood open, have somebody hold the motor at like 3k rpm while you look for the leak. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 And if this "mechanic" isn't a friend of yours, I wouldn't listen to shit he has to say, he hasn't even seen the car and is throwing out guesses. Crankshaft o-ring, cheap part. The labor to replace it, LMFAO. He's gonna rape you. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a friend of my uncle, so he gives us a really good price, he replaced a head gasket and basically rebuilt the engine on our expedition for a really good price. He does a lot of our repairs that we cant do ourself for us, for a good price. 2000 Ford Focus ZX3 Mods: Raceland Coilovers Borla Exhaust Aftermarket Header System: Sony CDX-GT66UPW Pioneer 6x8's System Upgrades : Pioneer MVH-X560BT 2 sets of Rockford Fosgate P1683's Fi Audio Q 18" D2 ( Currently Own) DD M1C ( Currently Own) All SHCA Wires and stuff...

thefourth Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Trying to do a smog test or something, could be alot of thing, head gasket leak, radiator, overheat , oil leak. His issue is an oil leak... Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream. oh lawd.

mothra Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 considering I've replaced everything on my ZX3. It's most likely either a windage tray gasket or crankshaft ring. the Zetec motor doesn't have a gasket for the oil pan, it just a bead of silicone on the oil pan to bolt it to the windage tray. I would definitely look into the valve cover gasket b/c they suck really bad. I got a metal valve cover from Massive and it's a bit better but still not as good as other cars. This is super common on all Zetec motors. Do you have any aftermarket motor parts? if nothing changes, nothing changes You don't know what you don't know, till you don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked the previous owner, he said that the lower oil pan gasket tore when he was doing something to the engine, he said he had already replaced many other parts on the car and didn't have the money to replace the gasket, so I ordered a new one and 28$ later I have the new gasket, but I'm going to have the mechanic take a look at it to see if it there is another possible oil leak. 2000 Ford Focus ZX3 Mods: Raceland Coilovers Borla Exhaust Aftermarket Header System: Sony CDX-GT66UPW Pioneer 6x8's System Upgrades : Pioneer MVH-X560BT 2 sets of Rockford Fosgate P1683's Fi Audio Q 18" D2 ( Currently Own) DD M1C ( Currently Own) All SHCA Wires and stuff...
