Man brad...... sorry to hear about the failure. I know all to well of what a 'spun bearing' is. I relayed some information I was told by a mechanic that has worked on quite a few Duratec engines in the past; which was exactly what this post is discussing now. The fac tthat the engine basically sucks the oil pan dry and doesn't do well at balancing the oil over the entire engine during 'high rpm' runs. It's a terrible design flaw but nothing that can't be dispelled. So Mirko makes the oil pan. Who makes the sump?
