Experience quiet highway cruising and renewed throttle pull with this Ford 3.0L Duratec Remanufactured Engine. Each 24-Valve DOHC 6-Cylinder assembly features casting 6E5E-6015-AA block metallurgy and variable valve timing. Technicians must conduct thorough oil cooler flushing and complete an exact 500-mile break-in oil change to protect hydraulic cam phasers from residual debris.

Constructed around a deep-skirt aluminum V6 engine block with cast-in iron cylinder liners, this assembly utilizes head casting 3M4E-6090-CE. The rotating foundation features a nodular iron crankshaft casting VI60 micro-polished across all journals, paired with cracked-cap forged powder metal connecting rods. Cylinder block decks receive precision CNC milling for head gasket retention. Net dry weight totals 220 lbs inside a crated envelope of 48in length by 48in width by 48in height. Oil capacity measures 6.0 quarts.

Key Features of Ford Duratec 3.0L

Repair centers buy Ford Duratec 3.0L remanufactured engine long blocks to resolve chronic oil consumption and timing chain wear. This assembly restores reliable horsepower for intermediate front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive sedans.

- Dual overhead camshafts incorporate variable valve timing mechanisms bench tested for rapid hydraulic phase advance.
- Block casting 6E5E-6015-AA undergoes precision align-honing to maintain exact main bearing bore roundness.
- Cylinder head casting 3M4E-6090-CE receives multi-angle valve seat cutting to guarantee complete cylinder compression.
- Crankshaft casting VI60 journals receive micro-polishing to achieve runout tolerances under 0.0003in TIR.
- Diamond plateau honing across cylinder bores produces optimal Ra crosshatch finishes for rapid piston ring seating.
- Multi-layer steel cylinder head gaskets prevent fluid leaks under high thermal stress and load.
- New torque-to-yield cylinder head bolts deliver uniform clamping force across both aluminum cylinder banks.

Dyno Performance Engine Clearance Tolerances

Dynamometer testing verifies mechanical power delivery and internal hydrodynamic oil pressure prior to crating. This 3.0L Duratec V6 produces 221 HP at 6,250 RPM and 205 ft-lbs of shaft torque at 4,800 RPM. Main bearing oil clearances hold between 0.0011in and 0.0015in, while connecting rod bearing oil clearances measure 0.0012in to 0.0016in. Cylinder compression gauges show 195 PSI across all six cylinders. Hot oil pressure maintains 55 PSI at 3,000 RPM with coolant operating temperature regulated at 195°F.

Vehicle Fitment Drivetrain Guide

This engine fits 2006 to 2009 Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Lincoln Zephyr, and Mercury Milan models equipped with the 3.0L 2967cc DOHC V6 with variable valve timing. Drivetrain compatibility includes front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive paired with 6-Speed automatic transmissions. This long block does not fit non-VVT 3.0L Taurus chassis, Ford Escape crossovers with front-mounted oil filters, or 3.5L Cyclone V6 platforms due to divergent block castings and timing cover bolt patterns.

Installation Protocol Service Requirements

Technicians must prime the variable valve timing oil passages and verify proper engine mount bracket torque during chassis install. Operational warnings prohibit deployment in custom forced induction systems exceeding 7 PSI boost or marine conversions lacking closed-loop cooling circuits.

- Pre-fill the oil filter and prime the internal lubrication galleries with 5W-20 oil prior to initial cranking.
- Drain break-in oil and install a replacement oil filter after completing the initial 500 miles.
- Inspect coolant level and monitor variable timing solenoid electrical connectors at the 1,500-mile inspection mark.
