Duratec height
Nitrogeno25 - 26/3/11 at 04:43 PM

Can anybody with a 2.0 Duratec engine measure for me the height from the lip of block to the lip of the cylinder head?

What I'm trying to determine is the total height if I get a raceline shortened wet sump and a shortened cam cover.

Height of the eom sump and height of the cam cover would be helpful to!

Thank you very much.

I cant give you an exact dimension, but the overall engine height with a shortened sump (which are 75mm deep) and a standard rocker cover is about 1/2" about higher than a pinto. So its a tall engine.

The cam cover will save you about 10mm or so over the std one. I managed to squeeze mine in to have about 5mm clearance to the bonnet and end up with more ground clearance than with the pinto.

Thank you very much!

I read the low profile cam cover can really save 25mm (30mm according to raceline).

If you can give me the dimension I would be very grateful

Thanks again!
