Just looking for some opinions,
Im planning on building a 2.0 duratec to be used in my road rally spec mk2. it will also be used on the odd stage event, but mostly stages. But by this time there is a fair chance i will be getting a built engine by someone such as paul gardner
The engine itself is going to be fairly basic - rods, pistons, cams, springs, standard unported head and the usual tensioner and keyway mods. so probably only looking at around 200bhp on a mx5 inlet manifold(due to regs).
Ive spoke to a few local lads and they've recommended i go down the dry sump route just for reassurance. Which I completely understand. But they are also coming from pinto backgrounds which ive herd do have oil issues with wet sump
so few questions:
What are the duratec wet sumps like? Ive seen that retro ford, sbd, burton and dunnell all do one that look very similair if not eaxct the same. are they all? Is one better than the other?
Do duratec's suffer from oil starvation?
Is a Dry sump needed?
Thanks
