Stephen Ketterer April 5, 2021 at 7:43 AM I believe the block is produced from compacted graphite iron similar to the latest EcoBoost motors. This new design is much more durable than the old Windsor or 385-series blocks, as tough as they were. from https://fordauthority.com/2021/03/hennessey-velociraptor-700-2021-ford-f-250-hits-the-dyno-test-track-video/

Strange silence. It´s is widely known that´s coming.

I mean the unknown petrol, not a diesel. There are several diesels coming i production that we are aware of but the petrolengine is still a mystery The link you wrote is too old. from 2006. Gear up.

At the AGM in the Swedish Co Sintercast in 2019 they said "The company also expects the production approval of a new SinterCast-CGI petrol engine, potentially marking the company's second passenger vehicle petrol engine application." The material will be CGI the same as the 2.7 and 3 l EcoBoost Is it this V8 we are waiting for? https://www.introduce.se/en/companies/sintercast/news/2019/5/sintercast-to-confirm-new-series-production-and-new-installation-activities-at-annual-general-meeting

The 3 l is a bored 2.7. Same dimensions. https://www.sintercast.com/market/sintercast-passenger-vehicles/ Ford 2.7 and 3.0 Litre V6 Petrol - Ford and Lincoln

Obviusly you can´t see that the cylinderwalls are much thicker in the aluminiumblock without using a sliding caliper. That´s not without a reason, CGI can stand the PCP much better than aluminium and therefore the engine can be smaller in size with the same strength. Time will tell. I leave this issue teaching you. Google has the answers

Which block is smaller and lighter ? The 3 l V6 aluminiumblock from Mercedes or the 3 l V6 block from Audi made in CGI? https://www.sintercast.com/market/exhibitions-2012-19/ Scoll down to GIFA World Foundry Trade Fair, 16-20 June 2015 " The display also included a direct comparison between the Audi 3.0 litre V6 CGI cylinder block and the Mercedes 3.0 litre V6 aluminium cylinder block, highlighting that the assembled Compacted Graphite Iron engine is 125 mm shorter and weighs 15 kg less than the aluminium engine." beware of akirby but these are raw facts.

With the block in aluminium it will be bigger than the current 7.3 l Godzilla and that´s not the way to make it fit in many enginebays. Much better to have the engineblock in CGI as several Ford engines like 6.7 PS, 2,7 and 3 l EcoBoost. In that way it can be made much smaller, stiffer , more silent and lighter than an aluminium block, and the CGI can stand heavy trims. Used in Nascar för decades.

Ford doesn’t plan to offer eight cylinders anytime soon well Ford is coming with a 6.8 l V8 in MY 2022. I hope that it will be a relative with the EcoBoots 2,7 l V6 with a small but rigid block in CGI Will fit in Bronco, F-150, Mustang. Raptor +500 HP Muscles

Too weak engines. They would bring the EcoBoost 2,7 l V6

No hard feeling as long as Ford isn´t delaying the SOP?

I say that Duramax is in a heavy state of backlogging due to their stubborn ideas about NOT letting the CGI in instead of their almost antique grey iron.

I wouldn´t be so sure about that. The super high pressure from that pump may tear on the cylinderwalls. The greyiron in the combustionchamber is so much weaker in the Duramax

I think the reason for this might be that GM is still using grey iron as a block material instead of following RAM and Ford by changing to the much harder Compacted Graphite Iron.

#akirby. Do you know that the shareprice of Sintercast has rised 60 % this year? Thanks to Ford, the main customer.

In a recent conference call after the Q4 report at the Brazilian foundry Tupy the CEO is talking about the recent start of the Cummins production for RAM but then he says that a new volumeproduction will start this May of a petrolengine with a block in CGI for Pickups Is this the added production of the Nano-V6 EcoBoost engine with a displacement of 2.7 and 3 liters he is talking about or can it be some new production? We know this engine will come in the 2020 MY of several models like Explorer and Lincoln Aviator but can we consider these mentioned as Pickups? Is it migrating to the Ranger? Is it just a production for the Explorer and Aviator with JOB #1 date 05/06/19 , the MKZ with JOB #1 date 08/05/19 ? Conference call http://ri.tupy.com.br/default_en.asp?idioma=1&conta=44

I am getting paid indirectly by the coming investors that have to pay an extra high shareprice. Look at the company and rethink why you are not investing in this growing market. The annual dividend is more than 5 % and rising. ?
