The Ford Duratorq 16-valve diesel engine is constructed of aluminum alloy castings, reports Ford Motor Co., Dearborn, Mich. The Duratorq 1.6 liter TDCi engine is constructed in the form of a multi-layer, cast aluminum alloy sandwich, with each element having its own highly optimized reinforcing web. The result is an extremely stiff structure that generates low levels of noise, vibration, and harshness.

The heart of the engine is an aluminum alloy cylinder block. It is a high-pressure die casting with cast iron cylinder liners that are assembled into the block to provide ...
