mm....... in 0.20 ex 0.30
in......... in 0.008 ex 0.012 to 0.014 According to Haynes
do remember that the sequence is not the same as an older ohv kent engine. (because they changed the valve sequence to reduce head cracking?)

in 0.20mm ex 0.30mm
Fords used to have a different firing order than everyone else. Perhaps they changed it to the more common one?
The _order_ is the same, they just start from the other end of the engine :-)
All my cars have been 1342, with 1 at the left hand side of the engine.
My Mondeo is 4213, but 1 is now on the _right_ side of the engine, so it still fires 1342, like they always did!
