Im very shocked to see that... Really sucks... I thought of the hydraulic lifters.... but I dont see hydraulic lifters on a Duratec, just lifters and rocker arms in the haynes manual, if you want reliable, just rebuild it to factory specs, get the cylinder heads rebuilt too, and see if your cylinders need to be resized. Doing all that should get that engine alot more life, I'm thinking of doing a complete rebuild of my engine, though I think a used, low milage Zetec would be cheaper than rebuilding it (and less painful). Though you Duratec people have it so easy to rev your engines, Zetecs you have to reach your hand underneath the air intake assembly
