Nope, no difference other than ones an aluminium cover and the other is plastic.
Some of the plastic cover ones have COP whilst the others have a single coil on the back of the head. But internally they are the same.

Thanks for the quick reply david
It was actually your duratec install that inspired me to look into one
excuse my ignorance but what is "COP"
Is there any reason for plastic cover over aluminium then? was this in a different car ......Would I be right in thinking the fiesta st duratecs had
the plastic cover?
many thanks
Patrick

COP = coil on plug, individual HT coils for each plug
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list

And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

The ST150 Duratec has plastic cover, coil pack not COP. Has the EGR valve blanked off and a standard flywheel not dual mass - so this is the ideal
engine.

Where have you found a Duratec, I have been looking for a while and haven't seen any that look half decent!

Don't upset me 
Do you know the name of the place, was it a breakers and then you had it rebuilt or was it just luck coming across it?
Thanks,
Mark.

Found mine on Ebay too
Mark - Theres still a few on there that look like decent enough engines
theres one in edinburgh for £275 buy it now with £75 delivery charge......only draw back being fairly high mileage at 71k
big-vee-twin, could I be cheeky and ask how much yours cost you? 22,000 miles is a good find

That's the thing I am not sure of, I was guessing if they said it was 71,000 I might want to add a few more on as there's no way of
actually telling.

Damn right, any mileage claim from a breakers you should think of doubling, at least.

An engine builder I talked to a few years back said Zetecs were good for over 200,000, he had taken them apart and could still see the honing in the
bore.
I would suspect the Duratec is just as durable, if the oil pressure is good and the bearing look ok, fit it and have fun

Only thing to watch on duratecs is the big ends can get rattley after 150k depending on the driving stye of previous owners! That said a set of
bearings is only £50 assuming no crank damage.
Other than that they are pretty much indestructable
