Don’t you need a little friction to get some compression?

Why post this? This engine will never see the USA.

By accident or by design; the VW diesel scandal has set back diesel engines another 10-15 years here in the US.

The internal belt on the oil system raised an eyebrow for me. Otherwise, pretty interesting.

Don't know anything about diesel engines, but it's pretty...lovely shade of blue.

I don’t care about “eco BS”.
Give me six or more cylinders and acceleration on the other side of “meh” and closer to “yeah!” and I’ll be happy.

300lbs of torque out of 2.0 liter motor.

My, we have come a long way.

There are several modern American V8 engines that don’t produce that much power.

It is illegal to use gas engines underground in a mine. Only diesel is allowed to avoid killing miners. Yet Diesel gets the bad rap for pollution.

Politicians are morons.

With Mobile 1 oil, there is almost no friction

Reliability? Sure sounds like a lot of small moving parts are involved

Nice torque...decent hp....so what kind of gearing can work with this to insure high mileage (without cheating)?what are realizable mpg goals?

I hope Ford is very successful with this engine.
There is no reason for the world to reject diesel engines.
