Eddy Kilowatt Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Well actually... more like Swimsuit Issue cheesecake, there's not a lot of hardcore stuff out there about the 2.5. But here are a few fun items I found while reading up on this engine: Tech-oriented write-up on an Aussie car website: http://australiancar.reviews/L5-VE-engine.php This is for the Mazda 2.5 L-engine, but the Ford Duratec is a close twin. I hadn't realized that our engines had balance shafts, and I'm curious whether we have chromoly cylinder liners (vs cast iron), forged cranks, and variable-length intakes as this article claims for the Mazda engine. And here's a timelapse video of a Duratec 2.5 being taken apart.

PhotoAl Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Thanks! Cool video, interesting look at the 2.5. May not be the most advanced or efficient engine but it seems to be a well designed and built engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
