the Duratec’ is quite a modern engine and was used in twin turbo form in the noble, have a look
at Guy Martins 170mph plus Transit that he raced, that had a boosted Duartec V6.
Thanks mate. So some engines needed long studs to save the head from lifting off at high boost, s#it me, so serious amounts of power then!
I will look for that transit now mate. My engine has done 74k with full history. I change the oil and filter with Fords OE filter and oil every 3-4k. Bit over the top, but I like to take extra care of my cars.
