2-0L Duratec Engine Building Data Sheet

This document provides specifications for building a 2.0L Duratec engine for race or rally applications using SBD parts. It includes details such as bore size (+0.01/-0.00mm), ring gaps (top 0.25mm, 2nd 0.20mm, oil 0.20-0.35mm depending on type), bearing clearances (big end 0.045/0.064mm, main 0.025/0.038mm) and recommends a minimum squish clearance of 0.85mm and valve to piston clearance of 1.52mm. It also describes the bore preparation process of honing to 0.003" undersize followed by stoneing and running in.

Squish Clearance –

Please take time to measure and set the squish clearance correctly, this is an important part of building an engine
that performs well, and an aspect that becomes more critical as the engine specification rises.

*The complex shape of SBD/Omega Pistons means that it is virtually impossible to accurately measure the piston to determine
bore clearance by the end user, the machining standards which are achieved and checked by Omega before despatch mean that
the end user should only be concerned by the actual bore size, if the specified limits are met the bore clearance will be correct.

** N.B – Over recent years ring manufacturers have increased end gaps without any detriment to the engine performance or ring
sealing abilities, therefore use our clearance as a minimum value.

Bore preparation for all Omega Pistons
As recommended by Omega.

The piston size you have ordered is actually the bore size that your block should be
machined to, for example if you have ordered an 87.00mm piston, the bore
tolerance will be 87.00mm to 87.01mm, this gives you a tolerance of -0.00mm to
+0.01mm. The clearance for the piston has already been designed into the piston
by Omega themselves and is correct for every piston size they manufacture. The
accuracy that the pistons are made to is so tight that it is impossible without very
accurate measuring equipment to determine the differences between each piston
(see note below).

**Note: We do not normally provide the piston clearance, this is due to the fact that
the pistons are oval and barrelled in several different directions and on some
versions have specific high spots designed into them making it very difficult for
anybody other than Omega to measure the clearance correctly.

How accurate is the boring?


Bore is to be round to a tolerance of 0.01mm, diameter measured at top, middle and
bottom of bore, both front to back & left to right.

The details below are provided by Omega for the finishing of the bore to its finished
size.

TYPE = Plato Honing:


1. Bore to 0.003” (thou) undersize.
2. Hone with 160 Grit.
3. Then stone up and down twice with 600 Stone to size.
4. Running in with Cords, Comm, Millers or similar high quality Running in Oil.
