Editing Ford Sidevalve engine (section)

==History==
Early Ford Sidevalve engines did not have a water pump as standard, instead relying on [[thermosiphon]] cooling as the [[Ford Model T|Model T]] engine had. A water pump was added in 1953 for the 100E models when the engine was re-engineered to the point that few specifications are identical between the early and the later series. The Sidevalve engine was used in many smaller Fords as well as farm vehicles, commercial vehicles and a marine version in boats. Production of the engine was stopped in 1962. Windscreen wipers were often driven by the vacuum generated in the [[inlet manifold]].

The Sidevalve engine was also used in German Fords, starting with the [[Ford Köln]] in 1932 and ending with the last rear-wheel drive [[Ford Taunus P1]] 12M (G13/G13AL) in 1962. Early further research and development were being carried out at the German Ford engine plant in Cologne to improve the engine for ease of use in the Taunus line of cars, including a 44 hp 1.5 developed from the 1172&nbsp;cc for the [[Ford Taunus G93A|Taunus G93A]] but this work was finally halted in 1942. 

Ford of Germany would later make use of the work on the 1.5 development of the 1.2 Sidevalve and convert it to a 55 hp 1498&nbsp;cc Overhead-Valve design for the 1955 [[Ford Taunus P1|Ford Taunus]] 15M P1, which would later be further enlarged to a 59 hp 1698&nbsp;cc for the 1957 [[Ford Taunus P2|Ford Taunus]] 17M P2 and 69–74 hp 1758&nbsp;cc for the 1960 [[Ford Taunus P3|Ford Taunus]] 17M/TS 1750 P3 until production ceased in 1964.

It was replaced by the [[Ford Kent engine|Kent engine]] in Britain and by the [[Ford Taunus V4 engine|Taunus V4 engine]] in Germany.
