Ford Endura-E engines
Content
Ford Endura-E 1.3-liter gasoline engines were produced by the company from 1995 to 2002 and were installed on the first generation of the compact Ka model, as well as the fourth generation of the Fiesta. In a number of markets, there was a very rare 1.0-liter version of these power units in our country.
Ford Endura-E engine design
Endura-E engines were introduced in 1995 as the final touch to Kent's OHV engine line. The design of these completely cast-iron units is quite typical for the middle of the last century: the camshaft is located right in the cylinder block and is connected to the crankshaft by a short chain, and eight valves in the block head are controlled by rods, pushers and rocker arms. Hydraulic compensators are not provided and once every 40 km it is necessary to adjust the thermal gap.
Despite the outdated basis, there is a normal ignition system, a catalyst, distributed fuel injection and a fairly modern EEC-V engine control unit.
Ford Endura-E engine modifications
There were a large number of versions of 1.3-liter engines, we list only the main ones:
| JJA (50 hp / 94 Nm) | Ford Fiesta Mk4 |
| JJB (50 hp / 97 Nm) | Ford Ka Mk1 |
| J4C (60 hp / 103 Nm) | Ford Fiesta Mk4 |
| J4D (60 hp / 105 Nm) | Ford Ka Mk1 |
Disadvantages, problems and breakdowns of the Endura-E internal combustion engine
These power units, even in good condition, are distinguished by very noisy operation, and when the thermal clearance of the valves gets lost here, they generally begin to rumble strongly.
In this motor, the thermal clearance of the valves disappears very quickly, but there are no hydraulic compensators. If you do not take care of their adjustment in time, then the camshaft will not last very long.
On a run of 200 km, camshaft or crankshaft wear is often found in the engine, and their cost is usually several times higher than the price of a contract power unit.
The manufacturer indicated the resource of this engine at 200 thousand km, and probably the way it is.
