V6 1,8 - 2,6l "Köln" / "Cologne"
Engine data:
OHV engine with camshaft located in the engine block. Cast iron engine block and cylinder heads. The camshaft is driven by spur gears. The valves are operated by solid tappets, push rods and valve levers.
Installed in:
P5, P7, Capri, Taunus, Granada, Sierra, Scorpio, Transit
Notice:
This engine was introduced in 1964 in the 20M (P5) and was designed as an "open deck" engine with free-standing cylinder liners and an open water jacket.
In this version, spark plugs with a thread length of 12.7mm are installed.
A technical change took place in May 1967 and from the 20M (P7) onwards, the "closed deck" engine with a closed water jacket was installed and equipped with cylinder heads with a spark plug thread of 19.0 mm.
In October 1969 Ford redesigned the cooling system and replaced the external water pump by a central pump with the shape of a "sea-horse".
This engine was used in many models until 1996 and was also provided with various injection systems. As 2,9i in the Scorpio "RS Cosworth" it developed up to 207 hp.
