Comments:
This engine is a further development of the very succesful "A-Kent" engine. For the 1976 model year, the Kent engine was modified for transverse installation in the engine compartment of the new Ford Fiesta. The engine has been shortened by 30 mm and the number of main bearings has been reduced from five to three. The engines were now called "Valencia". With the appearance of the third series of the Ford Fiesta in 1989, the new "HCS" engine was introduced. This further development of the "Valencia" - which was named Valencia-HCS (high compression vortex; high compression, swirled) - had a different cylinder head with modified combustion and intake ports, the number of main bearings was again raised from three to five.

In this version, spark plugs with a thread length of 12.7mm are installed.
A technical change took place in May 1967 and from the 20M (P7) onwards, the "closed deck" engine with a closed water jacket was installed and equipped with cylinder heads with a spark plug thread of 19.0 mm.
In October 1969 Ford redesigned the cooling system and replaced the external water pump by a central pump with the shape of a "sea-horse".
