Short Block Rebuild from Scratch – Duratec 2 0L Race Engine

From bare block to moving pistons – this is the full short block rebuild of my Ford Duratec 2.0L engine, step by step. In this video, I start with a freshly cleaned engine block and go through the full short block assembly, including: ✅ Crankshaft installation ✅ Honing the block ✅ Bearing installation ✅ Piston ring fitting & gapping ✅ Pistons & rods dropped in ✅ Oil pump fitment ✅ Initial rotation test This Duratec build is destined for my Formula 27 kit car in the 750 Motor Club Sports Specials Championship, so precision and durability are key.
