Hey,
Does anyone know if the spark plugs are hard to get to on duratecs?
I might pick one up, but wanna check the cylinder pressure first.
thanks

What are you going to do with a duratec engine?

Well it is in a car.... lol

But i found out that the plugs are under those plastic covers around the intake so it is possible....correct?

Duratecs use a COP (coil on plug) setup, so don't bother looking for spark plug wires.

Plugs are in the valley between the cams through the valve cover (very similar to the Zetecs). Carefully pull the coils, you should see plugs.

If I'm not mistakin, Those are plug wires over the passenger motor mount, right?

He is talking about the 4 cylinder ones.

I thought so. But v6s are wired. and easily checked right?

Oh, I thought you meant you were looking at just an engine.

Nah man, a swap like tht would be way too much for me I think.
But this car that has it in it seems a little weak.

the 2.5 six is easy squeezy. no need to pull the plenum, swivels and swear words are alls thats needed.
