Ford LT engine

The Ford LT engine (sometimes referred to as the "Dagenham") is a 1.6 litre diesel power inline-four engine used in the Ford Escort (Europe) as well as its Orion and Escort Van derivatives. It was also installed in the Ford Fiesta Mark 2.

Design

The LT was designed from the beginning exclusively to be a diesel engine, eliminating any compromises required for a design also intended to run on petrol.[1] It was built exclusively at the Ford Dagenham plant. Design work was carried out with the help of German diesel specialists Deutz, who already had a relationship with Ford in providing engines for the heavier-duty Ford Cargos.[1] Output is 40 kW (54 PS; 54 hp) at 4800 rpm.
