Stock deck height for 2.0 liter Duratec - The Ford Focus Forum

**Jerry Poole** · 10-11-2009, 12:21 PM

Hello to the forum this is my first post. Could any members of the forum please advise as to the stock deck height for the 2.0 liter Duratec block or the stock deck height for the 2.3 block? I have searched Google, Yahoo, etc. and can only find that the 2.3 stock deck height is 11MM taller than the 2.0 liter. There has been no mention of the actual deck height for either block. Appreciate any insight and information. Thanks Jerry

Well, I have a block out in the garage. What is the industry way of measuring it? Bottom of block to top? Or is it from crank center line?

The distance from the crankshaft centerline to the block deck will be okay, thanks Jerry

Looks in the Ford Racing parts catalog. I believe this and other measurements are published in the back.

Well, unfortunately, I the only measuring device I have is a regular tape measure, so I'll tried to get the best accuracy I could.

Bottom of block (where oil pan bolts to) to deck was exactly 12.5", or 317.5mm.
From crank center line to deck was 9.12", or 231.65mm

And this was on my 2.3l, so you will need to take out 11mm from those.
