2.0 Duratec Engine Project

Here's my project.

found this on Ebay, 2.0L duratec engine. Its covered 133,000 miles and is from a 2001 mondeo.

They said the engine was smoking abit under load.
probable cause could be...
valve stem oil seals
head gasket
piston rings
and a few other things which could of checked had it been in car and running still



im gunna give it a full going over, new big end bearings shells, gaskets, rings and valve stem seals, the usual

there a 3 routes i could go down N/A, supercharged, Turbo

when i finally decide which a want to do, i'll post the details up

Tom, you're awesome, fact!

should be good fun that mate id say TURBOOOCHARRGEEEY!!!

Thats going to be fun, lots of work to do for it, but going to be brilliant Can't wait to see it

If you need a hand, you only need to ask

NA power

Mr Tom = god

I think we should begin Stripping the Head, clean it up and polish as we discussed. We can also make a template for the EGR blanking plate and suss out anything else you may need

naturally aspirated is where its at people.

Careful if your planning on polishing/porting the head, may well end up being detrimental. I'd leave the inlet as it is, perhaps polish the exhaust ports up as these may benefit from having a smoother surface for the gasses to flow over, perhaps also look into matching the ports on the exhaust manifold to those on the head?

Just my 2 cents...

points note and taken

Were not planning on porting, for that reason, just cleaning it up and remove cast marks and get the ports finger touch smooth

Still may not be beneficial on the inlet ports, simply because the air and fuel relies, to a certain extent on turbulence to mix the two together. By smoothing and polishing the imperfections out of the inlet ports, what will aid the mixture? On the same token though, i can see where your coming from, you don't want it to be too restrictive and effectively hold up some of the air/fuel trying to enter the engine?

one way or the other i say force it

btw, what is the engine going to end up in?

my fez, and ive decided what route im taking.

been speaking to an oldskool tuner, whos works at audi wakefield, and he said i'll piss 300bhp.

ok so i stripped it down this weendend.

the valve are nice crpped up big time, must be 3mm of build up on them, took the pistons out, the pistons them were in good condition but one of them had a split ring, and the cyclinder liners are fine.

however, looking at the piston shells, it looks as tho the engine hasnt had regular oil changes and has been oil starved and dirt contamination.

heres the pics






piston 1 shell was spining aswell. the crank shells have very light marks
the cranks its self seems to be fine, but im going to get it check out by john at shawspeed.

and been cleaing block and and stuff ready for painting, might aswell seen as its free to do

Good stuff Tom!

Next step to strip the head down then dude?

nice id love to see this being done and learn from it on how to do these things and what to look for keep up the good work mate

made some room in the car for the engine to fit into, yay, just goota build the engine now

Woo hoo! Go Tom!

how soon is it looking at going in then?

ive completely no idea, lolz

So whats the situation Tom, Im sure the peopl eof b-tech would like to know
