	V6 Performance.net Forums - Discuss the Mazda 6s Ford Duratec 3.0L engine
		The early Duratec engines suffered from crank bearing issues IIRC which required rebuilding but they've been reliable "since 1999".
		Ford is using tumbler valves in the intake manifold to meet emissions it looks like, which is a quick and dirty way to accomplish that but at the expense of torque apparently.
		Don't you think it might be a little tiring to have un-educated teenie bopers on this board say that the 6 is a Ford, its a bad car becasue it has a Ford engine, the 6 is a rebagged Taurus and on down the line........haters haters haters haters.......

	Wikipedia - Ford Yamaha V8 Engine
		Ford manufactured the aluminum engine blocks at their Windsor, Ontario plant, then shipped them to Japan for finishing by Yamaha.
		The preventive measure of welding the cam sprocket to the camshaft soon proved to be a fix for engines that had not suffered such a fate yet [1].
		The engine is a 4.4 L aluminum DOHC V8 which produces 311 hp (232 kW) and 325 ft·lbf (441 N·m).

	Ford Duratec 35 thrives on simplicity
		From the beginning, Ford's engine designers and engineers set out to develop an all-new V-6 engine family that is “good from a functional standpoint but is relatively simple,” he says.
		Engineers and developers insisted, in particular, on a highly rigid structure for the all-aluminum block and forged-steel crankshaft.
		Engineers also struggled daily with design constraints that included a need to make the Duratec 35 fit in the basic space required for the smaller 3L Duratec 30, which is a completely different architecture.

		Ford got a lot of attention last year for being the first automaker to introduce a hybrid-powered SUV.
		All that’s new this year is the increased availability of Ford’s Duratec 2.3-liter engine, some new colors, and a monochrome-themed Premium package for the hybrid.
		The conventional engine of choice, however, remains the 200-horsepower, Duratec 30 V-6 engine, which is standard with the more expensive trim levels.

		Ford SVE’s approach to achieving improved performance in a normally aspirated engine was through a combination of improved flow characteristics, higher rev capability, combustion efficiency and a higher compression ratio.
		Duratec’s intake camshaft is equipped with an electro-mechanical control mechanism that allows the cam’s maximum opening point, relative to crankshaft degrees, to be varied between 85 and 145 degrees after top dead centre.

	Aluminum Association \| Aluminum Gains on Iron in Ford Engines (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The six-cylinder powerplants, built at the automaker's Essex Engine Plant in Windsor, Ontario, are produced in high volumes primarily for use in light-duty trucks.
		Ford's plan to halt production of the iron-intensive V-6s at the Essex facility represents another tough blow to the ferrous scrap and iron foundry industries, which have experienced a decline in the North American automotive market for iron castings for more than two decades.
		Ford's new V-6s initially will enter production at the company's engine plant in Lima, Ohio, at annual output rates of 325,000 units, increasing gradually in the ensuing years to at least twice that level.

		The engine could not be moved back even with cutting the body due to something protruding on the back of one of the heads.
		The engineer indicated that he and the other engineers were very unhappy with the RandT article because RandT did not use most of the information they provided and weighted the article space to the Japanese car.

	VWvortex Forums: 2.3L Focus tuned by Cosworth - Stage 1 & 2 details released
		Ford only keeps a limited supply of most of them and you need an RS VIN to get your hands on them as I have heard.
		In order to get the right amount of fuel in and ensure that the engine makes the most of the improved breathing at higher speeds, the factory ECU is re-flashed, a process that ensures that the engine runs perfectly, all the way to the re-set 7100rpm rev limit.
		However, due to the high performance nature of this engine, a d-Power2 -equipped car is NOT street legal and therefore should only be used for vehicles that are not intended to be used on public highways.

		Whilst the performance of the bike engines is attractive, having to strip the car out to keep the weight down is not.
		Of course this car was only a prototype and the duratec was in its early stages as a performance engine so this wouldn`t happen overnight.
