10 Camshaft position (CMP) sensor
Item Description
1 DPFE sensor
2 Vacuum switching valve
3 Vacuum regulator
Exhaust gas recirculation on the Transit fitted with the DOHC engine is controlled by an
electronic differential pressure feedback EGR (DPFE) system. The differential pressure at a
restriction in the EGR pipe is measured by the DPFE sensor and passed to the EEC V module
as a voltage signal. Depending on this voltage signal, the EEC V module modifies the signal
sent to the electronic vacuum regulator, which then controls the vacuum to the EGR valve.
In this way a precisely measured quantity of exhaust gas passes into the inlet manifold
behind the throttle valve.
The vacuum for the EGR system and the auxiliary air system is taken from a common line.
The vacuum switching valve directs vacuum to the secondary air valve when the engine is
cold, and to the EGR system when the engine is warm. The vacuum switching valve is
controlled by the EEC V module.

8 Idle speed control valve (ISC)
Coolant shut‐off valve
 On vehicles with air conditioning the coolant supply to the heater radiator is shut off
when the air conditioning is operating.
 As on the diesel engine, the system operates by vacuum which is passed to the
coolant shut‐off valve by a solenoid valve. The vacuum is supplied by the line to the
brake servo.
 The solenoid is controlled by the EEC V module.

2. Valve seat angle.
3. Lower correction angle.
4. Valve seat width.
Modified parts from MY '95 onwards

2. Connecting rods
• In place of the existing oil splash bore, there is now
a recess on each side of the connecting rod.
• This recess conveys the oil from the bearing shells
to the cylinder bore.
• This provides additional lubrication on the
pressurised side of the cylinder bore.
• New connecting rod bolts marked "KX120" on the
head.
3. Pistons
• The distance from the piston crown to the first
piston ring is reduced to 5 mm.
• The piston rings are phosphated.
• The tolerances have been reduced.
4. Cylinder head gasket.

With effect from the '95 model year, a multi‐
layered steel gasket is used.
5. Inlet manifold gasket.

• Four Viton gaskets arranged in the inlet manifold.
• The four gaskets are not symmetrical.
6. Exhaust manifold gasket

• A two layer steel gasket was introduced from '95
MY.
• Two gaskets per engine.
Gasket for inlet manifold coolant connector.
Different gaskets are used on the DOHC 8V engine, depending on the vehicle in which the
engine is fitted.
Item Description
Gasket with narrow tab for
1 longitudinal engine installation in the
Granada/Scorpio '95 and Transit.
Gasket with broad tab for transverse
2
engine installation.
 The gasket for use on transversely installed engines is closed because the coolant
connection is located at the rear of the cylinder head.
 The gasket identifying tab is visible under the inlet manifold.
