Differences Between The Mercury Monterey And Mercury Mountaineer Engine
The Mercury Monterey engine is a minivan sold by the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company from 2004 through 2007. The minivan was assembled in Oakville, in the Canadian province of Ontario, and featured a 4.2 liter six cylinder engine. The Mercury Montaineer is a mid-sized sport utility vehicle that has been produced and sold by Mercury from 1997 through the current model year. The sport utility vehicle is assembled in Louisville, Kentucky and St. Louis Missouri. The Mountaineer is available with either a 4.0 liter six cylinder or a 4.6 liter eight cylinder.
The 4.0 liter six cylinder that is the base engine in the Mercury Mountaineer produces 210 horsepower at 5100 revolutions per minute, and 254 pound-feet of torque at 3700 revolutions per minute. Fuel is fed to the Mercury Mountaineer engine through a sequential fuel induction system. The powerplant features a single overhead cam design, giving the engine 12 valves. The Mercury Mountaineer engine runs on unleaded gasoline, with premium unleaded gasoline recommended in order to get the maximum power and efficiency figures out of the engine. Gas mileage figures returned by the Mercury Mountaineer engine, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, are 14 miles per gallon in city driving and 20 miles per gallon on the highway.
The only engine available in the Mercury Monterey was a 4.2 liter six cylinder motor. The most obvious difference between the six cylinder in the Monterey and the six cylinder in the Mountaineer is that the Mercury Monterey's engine is a larger displacement. Despite this larger displacement, the Mercury Monterey's engine was only able to produce 201 horsepower. The Mercury Monterey engine, like the 4.0 liter in Mountaineer, was a single overhead cam design with 2 valves per cylinder. The Mercury Monterey engine also featured pushrods, which were a holdover from the earlier 3.8 liter Ford six cylinder design on which the Mercury Monterey's engine was based. Torque figures for the Mercury Monterey engine were more comparable with the Mercury Mountaqineer's engine, with the Monterey 4.2 liter six cylinder able to pull 252 pound-feet of torque at 3400 revolutions per minute. Gas mileage for the Mercury Monterey engine was slightly better than the 4.0 liter six cylinder, with the EPA rating the engine as 15 miles per gallon on the city circuit and 21 miles per gallon on the highway. This gas mileage is excellent for a minivan equipped with a six cylinder engine, and ranks the Monterey ahead of most of its competition in this area.
Unlike the Monterey, the Mountaineer is available with an optional eight cylinder engine. The eight cylinder Mercury Mountaineer engine is a modular unit which features the latest in engine technology from Ford. The Mercury Mountaineer engine features a single overhead cam design with three, rather than two, valves per cylinder. The total number of valves in the Mercury Mountaineer engine are 24 valves. Fuel flows into the pistons through a sequential fuel induction system, with a compression ratio of 9.8. Ford recommends that the driver use unleaded gasoline to extract the maximum performance and fuel economy out of the Mercury Mountaineer engine. Power ratings for the eight cylinder are 292 horsepower at 5750 revolutions per minute, and 300 pound-feet of torque at 3950 revolutions per minute. The Mountaineer's optional eight cylinder powerplant gets excellent fuel economy ratings for a V8; 15 miles per gallon on the city circuit and 21 miles per gallon on the higway, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

The eight cylinder unit gets better fuel economy than the mercury mountaineer engine base six cylinder unit, while also producing alomost 100 more horsepower.
Why does an OHC engine have more power than a pushrod engine.?
I've wondered about this for some time. Pushrod engines are substantially less complex than overhead cam engines. Yet most engines produced today are OHC. I'm amusing this is for more power to weight. All things being equal, displacement, number of valves, valve lift, compression, why would an OHC engine be more powerful than a pushrod engine? Or would it?
i would imagine that there are less moving parts. but i dunno if that's an actual reason.
but there are less parts. in an OHC, you can directly open the valves instead of having to push on a pushrod, which then has to push on the rocker arm, which then pushes down on the valve spring.
