Editing Ford Kent engine (section)

==={{anchor|Endura-E}} Endura-E (1995–2002)===
The final redesign came in 1995 with the launch of the fourth-generation [[Ford Fiesta]]. This edition was effectively another redesign of the Valencia/HCS derivative, known as the '''Endura-E''', and featured many revisions to combat noise and harshness, including a thickened cylinder block and a cast aluminium sump. The RH engine mount position was changed to the top of the cylinder block. Multipoint fuel injection was now standard. This engine was used in the [[Ford Ka|Ka]] until 2002 where it was replaced by the Duratec and the 1.3 Escort until 2002, as well as in [[Ford Ikon]].

This type of engine still has tappet noise even after adjustment. This noise is said to come from the cams due to incorrect valve setup (when setting valve clearance each cylinder must be set to TDC) or from age and use of incorrect oil grade. The correct oil grade is 5W-30 semi-synthetic oil. Another reason is the large tappet clearance on the exhaust valve. This could be reduced to lower the noise level but the engine would then suffer from a rough idle and usually stall.

Despite Ford's engines being well regarded for their ease of service, the Endura-E has a very awkward placing for its oil filter, at the back of the engine and facing from left to right rather than pointing downwards or out, this being a leftover from the original Kent which was normally mounted longitudinally for rear-wheel drive. This mounting position makes it very difficult to access from underneath the car (without a mechanic's ramp), and despite being very short, the can-type oil filter still manages to protrude past the tip of the adjacent starter motor, meaning it is very difficult to remove using chain-type grips.
