exhaust valves go through way more stress than intake valves....way more heat and usually way higher spring pressures......this is just another failure of Ford OUTSOURCING.....THEY NEED TO BRING JOBS BACK TO AMERICA.....MAKE FORD GREAT AGAIN!!!!!
I feel for those of you who are in that window of possibly bad engines. It sucks. But it was supplier who failed to deliver parts that met their specs. I’m a EE and can tell you; if you build stuff, it happens. It happened throughout my industry in the aftermath of C19. The engine design is stout, I’m not worried about either one of my copies. I bought the first year 2.7 in my F150. It just passed 154K trouble free. I expect the 2.7 in my 2023 Bronco OB 2-dr to do at least as well. I’d feel a whole lot worse if this was a design problem with the engine itself.
I love my 21 F150 XL 2.7 . At least Ford is taking care of the problem. Other domestic manufacturers stick their head in the sand until forced into resolution.
To me, any turbo/ supercharged engines should have 10 degree locks installed instead of 7 degree locks, because of engine boost/ pressure inflicted on the parts.
@@frankalfonso7070 no, this particular engine is built in Lima. they had a supplier that manufactured the valves, apparently not to specifications and the metal to brittle
So Ford was at about 7 million recalls. Record breaking. Did they reach there goal of 8 million recalls yet? Way there going they should be there. Toyota looks great again…😮
You think that’s bad , GM will have to recall most if not all new 6.2s in the corvette and full size trucks/SUVs Many if not all are blowing up with very low mileage…..some with just a few hundred miles.
Ford definitely needs to stop outsourcing, but this isn't that big of an issue. The thing is though when FORD was made here in America by Americans there were no issues. I think it's strange they do outsourcing due to the fact there the only company out of acouple that are still owned by themselves there the only American car company too you would think they would set the American standard higher. The other American brands haven't owned themselves in 3 decades. Ford is the last standing for a reason ofcourse, but they did a good job getting this figured out. Better then the hemi v8 that thing is a piece of junk and they made it since 2012 with defects and they knew about it! That's robbery!
@DrivenWildOutdoors I'm speaking because I own one and know others with numerous years of ownership , just a fact there's a lot less parts to break or service. But your right they have problems too but with a 8yr. Drive train and battery warranty I'm not too concerned
When I was a Ford technician up until about 2.5 years ago. The dealership I worked at didn't have a single 2.7l valve failure.
Thank you for the update. “Brittle” tells me it was a problem with the heat treatment and cooling process.
Appreciate your videos

Great coverage Duane. Thank you.
@@Johnnyscarcarereviews welcome sir
Duane, interested in your opinion on the "wet belt" setup on the 2.7 v6 and 5.0 v8 F150 engines. thx

They should do recalls of the catalytic converters and cam phaser seems to be a huge issues across the f150s
My dad has 2021 F150 2.7 with 136K Miles, runs like new, purchased new during Covid.
@@cessealbeach most of them do. We have zero issues with our 2 2.7’s in our Broncos
Ford has to stop outsourcing parts to the cheapest bidder.
I'm glad I got the 3.3 naturally aspirated
Anything or videos you created on the eco boost transit van? Thanks!
@@tentwelvedesign not yet, great idea. Thank you!
Great expert insight.

@@jimchari3697 I agree
Thanks. I'm looking to get a Ranger with the 2.7 and hope to have this motor for a long time.
they will come with aluminum pans now
Buy two or three, that way you are sure to have a spare.
Generally speaking, reliability doesn't associate well with engines that have 'eco' in the name.
@@MTrump The 2.7 with its weight to horsepower ratio is hard to beat. I’m very happy with the two we have and we’ve had zero engine issues.
@@lesstyranny2695 The 2.7L has been a fantastic motor overall.

I had read a few years ago that Ford and GM were going to have their engines built in China. Could this be the problem ?

No, Toyota does not look good, and never will.

@@markcole6475 I think Ford did a good job getting ahead of this. I could have been worse
@@DrivenWildOutdoors yes, third party manufacturing issues for Ford.. same with GM in the manufacturing process of the 6.2
I'm so glad I got rid of my 22 Bronco. Enjoyed it for 6 months and sold it for a good profit.
Different types of materials in the keepers made of cheaper materials, unable to handle the heat and pressure.
The 2.7 is a great engine.
So what is your your point?
my point is the 1% with the possible defect is a non issue for the 99% of us who own one
👍
I feel so sorry for people buying the crappy Maverick.
Good that Ford is nipping it in the butt rather than waiting a bit too long like Toyota did with their V6 Tundra issues.

all are garbage built.....Ford GM Stellantis all of them
GM is the best
Ford used to build one of the best vehicles out there, but today it's all BS.
All oems will have issues over time.
@@jamesjannell8706 yes they do. Ford takes them serious and seems to do a good job at solving them fast.
Just stop with these tiny engines with turbos... Just stop.
I will never buy anything that's labelled ECOBOOST. You're begging for trouble.
especially in the used car market, accentuated by the 10,000 mile "recommended" oil change intervals.
Damn what's it going to be next week? Buy a tesla and kiss those stupid problems goodbye.
@@franktyler807 lol, they aren’t without manufacturing issues either.
