Mercury Duratec 20 specs: 122 ci (2.0L) 4-cylinder, 3.445 x 3.272 in (87.5 x 83.1 mm) bore and stroke. Used in the Ford Focus. Rod ratio and piston speed.

The Mercury Duratec 20 is oversquare — the 3.4449" bore exceeds the 3.2717" stroke by 5.3% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 3.2717" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,350 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 30.5 ci (500 cc).

It is one of 11 engines in the Duratec family, the smallest at 122 ci.
