Interesting to see that they don't have independent VCT. I thought that was one of the features of this engine.

Pistons have carboned up quick, but that seems to be a feature of DI engines if you dont thrash them occasionally.

I'd expect that 2013 year model Taurus SHO will have the upgraded engine to keep those pesky Chevys at bay.... |

227kw is damn impressive from such a small v6 block, especially stock.
