I was trying to read all the posts...and saw the question on which year duratecs actually blew their engine from oil starvation...

My question: were most of the well known blown up engines SVT engines or standard duratecs? I'm just wondering if there is any difference in the SVT engines, especially the E0's to make them more suceptible to oil starvation induced engine damage.

On last question...I was gonna install a 1 quart accusump setup...is that good enough?? Would 2 or more quarts be better or too much??

Ok...that's all...
