- Want to see a particular engine torn down? I may have already done one! I've done well over 20 other teardowns from Cummins to an LS7, and from Rotary to Ram Ecodiesels. Check them out here • Blown Up Engine Tear D...
My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart located in the Saint Louis MO area. Part of our model is dismantling and selling parts from rare and niche market engines. If you're interested in buying parts from this engine or other engines I've torn down, email us at Importapartsales@gmail.com.
In this video I teardown a complete 2.0L Ecoboost from a 2014 Ford Focus ST. This engine was NOT a core, but rather a damaged engine from a wrecked focus we parted out earlier this year. Sadly because of the miles it made better sense to dismantle this engine and sell the parts than fix the engine and attempt to sell it complete. I am shocked with how this engine looked inside!
As always, I appreciate all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism, I love it all!
Catch you on the next one!

This just warms my heart to see an engine this well maintained. Props to the previous owner
I'm doing 3k changes with Ford filter and Valvoline full synthetic on my 2017 Escape.
@@44971719785648751978 That's a little excessive in my opinion. Any modern synthetic oil will do 5k miles with no issues, especially if you're doing mostly highway driving. Plus it's a lot less annoying to keep track of
@@Owl-ge9jl I think it's less annoying to keep track of doing 3,000 mile changes. More frequent yes but you mist likely will never forget to do it especially if it becomes a routine every few months.
@@Owl-ge9jl I'm not sure about the Escape but on my 15 ST the recommended interval is 3000 miles...
@@GingerFlyer1984 Really? Well in that case be my guest. It's not very often you see an interval on a modern car that frequent. I'm pretty surprised about that. It looks like it's for the more extreme applications, but still interesting.
Little known fact: Eric takes the timing chains and does 24k gold plating on them to sell to rappers in the St.Louis and Chicago area. His jewelry line, Slappin' Chains afforded him a 45 meter Benetti Dreamline yacht that many think belongs to a Japanese billionaire because of the name, 'Ido Yachts II'
😅
It's legit, I own the two timing chains he pulled from the N63 BMW V8.
@@Arthurzeiro Thsoe were probably already 24 karat gold plated before they ever went into the engine. They better be for how much they cost....
We always thought this was true…..
😅😂🤣
"Malice in the combustion Palace" had me blow mntndew out my nose.
well that was a total waste of a good sip of mt dew, lol, I've done it myself with some of Eric's comments, lol
@@mattcat231 but the buuuurrrn. Ugggh but it was worth the laugh.
I liked that too. Maybe inspired by the 3 Stooges "Malice in the Palace" which is in the public domain and legal to watch, one of their better ones.
I always thought it was inspired by the "malice at the palace" detroit pistons game.
As a Ford technician I know these engines like the back of my hand. The moment he removed the high pressure pump I was in my head like. "He's gonna drop the pump piston😂".
What is your opinion about the reliability of the 2.0 ecoboost and what fail the most on those engines?
@@lordofkiwi5144 everything
@@lordofkiwi5144 I own a 2014 Fusion (now with 63K) with the same engine and my older 2012 3.5l in my Flex (110k) has been more reliable. I've had the purge valve fail and I've had the fuel pressure sensors go bad. I did all the work myself which were simple fixes. Purge valve failed around 43K. Fuel pressure sensors around 58K.
My 2015 failed at 68k miles.
The Duratec engines are decent engines I have seen good and bad. Non turbo 2.0 2.3 & 2.5 engines tend to run forever. When you had a turbocharger to the equation not so much. I recommend non ecoboost vehicles from Ford they last longer and are cheaper to repair.
So, it turns out that small turbocharged engines can do a lot of miles they're taken care of. Amazing!
Apparently, the 2.0 EB is quite stout. More so than the GM 2.0t engines by a sizable margin
I used to work on them and the Emily real problem I noticed is that there more prone to oil leaks then other engines
@@PureCountryof91 People run 400+ whp on stock internals all the time on these Ecoboosts. It's pretty impressive. Although, I would think that's a bit overkill for a FWD...I'd like a little more power myself, but only about 325...
@@jasonscott7230 I had a larger turbo on my focus ST made 335/320 and it was just fine
Yes yes! I have a 1.2 TSI that has 310.000km, still goes like new! Oil is changed every 10-12000kms! Still going strong! :D (on LPG, so to some that would mean hell - while in fact it's not!)
Great engine! The 2.0 Ecoboost in my fusion titanium (same structure/architecture as Focus ST) just passed 400,000 miles. Burns 1/2 qt per 10,000 and still cookin'!
Damn! Congrats
Wow!
Damn, what year is your fusion?
That's Fantastic!! Great engine.
@@squiresonwheels3249 2014, I think leaving that comment was a jinx, shortly after a timing chain guide broke!
This warms my soul as I just purchased a 2019 ranger and gives me great comfort about the echoboost engines!
Just keep the oil changed every 5k, 5w30 full synthetic with a premium filter.
Funny, I picture myself and a couple thousand other guys sitting around Saturday evening waiting for this show to begin. Hope it never gets canceled!
Only guys hahahah
Watching from the UK its Sunday morning breakfast viewing for me LOL.
these have become a sort of tradition with me and my partner, they come out and we spend half an hour kicked back on the couch and listen to a car nerd talk about their passion. love having such a well-spoken talk-through of the mechanics going on in the engine.
Suggestion: When working solo and you don't have an extra hand available, run a zip-tie around the claws of your puller so they don't slip off.
Or a large hose clamp. If you don’t have a large one you can put to small ones together.
You are right about the oil, one of the first thing my grandfather taught me was to put the best oil in that I could and change it as often as I could. I have never had an engine fail on me.
I always use the cheapest oil I can find and stretch the changing intervals at least double. Never had an engine fail on me. At the moment I drive a mercedes S212 with a 250hp diesel engine and it did about 600,000 km (400,000 miles). The last oil change I did about 40.000km ago. Maybe I will change it before the winter comes.
The engine is completely clean inside. As a mechanic I also tell the people/customers to obey their oil change intervals; but for my own daily drivers I totally neglect that.
@@albinklein7680 engines run a lot hotter now too normal operating temp for my bmw is over 250 degrees so I do 5 thousand miles maximum because of how much heat there is but also with the mercedes they hold so much oil they can go longer also my 99 E320 held 9 quarts with a little v6 mercedes says that is for it to truly be able to do extended intervals not just say they can go 15 thousand without actually being able to.
@@albinklein7680 if you do a lot of highway miles there shouldn't be an issue with that, the problem comes when you're doing lots of cold starts on aging oil (Year+ old).
Valvoline, Castrol, Amsoil, F Penzoil
@@albinklein7680 completely clean inside, and it is a diesel, you're actually trolling, diesel oil as soon as you put it in turns black. what terrible advice, or you're being completely disingenuous. I really cant tell.
I've had my ST tuned to over 400whp w/ aftermarket turbo (obv) & WMI for 3 years now. I fucking love this motor.
What cars does it come in? Focus?
@@EdwardT9 2.0T comes in a lot of Fords, with some variation between each model. I'm speaking of a Focus ST.
How often do you change your oil?
@@sparks2429 every 5,000 on the dot with amsoil.
@@Taylorek2011 ok cool same. I've heard some people say they do every 3000 but I think that's just wasting good oil
Small exhaust manifold opening and collector within the (block) motor means increased exhaust gas velocity and heat to spin the (albeit tiny) turbo. Actually an effective design for a turbo motor. Add to it, enough heat to ensure the cat works effectively.
Backpressure is no good for any turbo
@@shadowopsairman1583it's not backpressure if it's before the turbo, just manifold pressure.
Only one cylinder is exhausting at any point in time so a port that big is just fine.
@@shadowopsairman1583 When you cant tell the difference between backpressure and manifold pressure
Thank you! Squeeze the water hose and it shoots farther with more velocity! Was wondering if anyone realized this.
Although we like to see engines with massive carnage, it’s good to see you got a good one and can make money on it. Another great video!
If this engine did indeed have 170k miles on it, then that is a pretty positive testimonial to this engines design and the owners good maintenance. It was clean inside and out. I really liked the use of a full size screw-on oil filter. So many of the engines nowadays have such teeny-tiny oil filters, which I have never been a fan of.
They really are good but need that oil changed more frequently than it says. Lots of clean oil and i think they are as good as can be
I knew the owner of this car took care of it as soon as I saw the 400s filter on it and not the 910. Bigger filter allows more filtering capacity and you can put a little more oil in your engine.
I am sooooo glad to see this video! I just sold my 2013 st with 171,000 miles on it. I was thinking I was the only one who put that many miles on an st. I maintained that car myself always and used only the best products and had not one problem except for the motor mounts. I loved it so much I bought another one with 41,000 miles. I was confident that this car well maintained could do it as well. It was a toss up with a 2019 Honda with 18,000 miles. I know it would last forever but it had no heart. The right foot wants what the right foot wants so the st won. It makes me more confident that the first one wasn't a fluke.
215,000 miles currently on my ST and it sees redline everyday
so refreshing to see a clean engine, and not covered in molasses
Nice to see an engine that was quite well looked after for a change. Made my day.
Thank you for posting once again. You are an engaging, knowledgable, entertaining and a natural and articulate communicator. I Love watching your videos.
That is a clean interior, especially considering the mileage.
As he said they took very good care of the engine.
A good design instantly shows, regardless of maintenance intervals. I wouldn’t be surprised if that block got average oil changes as per Ford’s recommendation.
A crappy design will cook oil and have hot spots all over the engine, causing constant carbon and varnish buildup regardless how often you change the oil.
probably was driving always on the highway. That's why theirs little wear on the car inside and out and why the engine looked good. Your cruising at a constant speed so the engine doesn't do much work.
For a turbo engine it did last pretty well. I think Ford ecoboosts are pretty reliable and lasts well if maintained well.
Just 1 issue.. Very bad gas mileage
@@1989rs500 very bad mileage? I get 31 avg in my Fiesta ST with rarely driving on highways and also not driving very efficiently lol
Ford continues to make some of the best 4 cylinder engines. All starting with the 2.3 lima engine in the late 70s that breaks records at dragstrips and racetracks in its class. These 2.0 ford engines have been nothing but good to me and my family. My old ford fusion 2.0T had 245k miles before a deer totaled it. My new focus st has 75k. I've seen 300k miles out of them, one of my favorite 4 cylinder engines.
Wow 245k that’s great!
That’s hilarious. The 1.5l ecoboost is a complete piece of shit with coolant intrusion. 😊
They crack and you get coolant in the #2 cylinder…
I think, Ecoboost and Mazda-like Duramax are completely different. The latter being better in reliability.
So nice to see your total transparency on everything. If you had an Instagram or good website with inventory I think it would blow up from the good publicity you get from this channel. Keep up the great work and videos!
60 years of working as a mechanic and I`m becoming addicted to watching this neat guy do his tairdown an nearration.
"Why didn't I do this sooner?!" I felt this on a spiritual level.
Hey buddy. Great video. You are a man of integrity. I admire that in a person. I live for that. Not a lot of folks have that anymore. You checked out that engine so that you KNOW it is good. You can sell it and rest easy that it’s a runner. Most folks don’t give a darn and will tell you it’s fine without knowing. Thanks for sharing. Big Al.
He just took it all apart, explaining thats its better to just sell the parts instead of trying to sell it as a running engine. Especially since it did have 170.000 miles on it...did you watch the whole video???
@@johnfranklin5277 I did. At the start of the video he said he couldn’t sell the engine complete as a runner without knowing if there were other issues besides the timing cover, oil pan damage etc. That’s why I say he has integrity. A boneyard repulsed have sold it as is and it could have been wrecked inside.
You know why the engineers design stuff like that. 1:they design them to be built, not serviced. 2:they're sadists.
Wdym? 🤔
Cleanest engine I've ever seen you take apart. I change my oil every 3k miles because I knew it builds up sludge when you don't.
Very informative! As the proud owner of a 2013 focus st, Def going to be referencing this video for future endeavors of my own build!
I look forward to this every week 👍🦖🇨🇦
Another benefit for the turbo being bolted directly to the engine is reduced spool time for the turbine. Aka reduced turbo lag
My 2014 ST has 170 000 km on the clock.Unfortunay mine had a hard life. I fully modified mine with all Cob accesiories. But on 110 000 km 's my no 1 piston burned a hole and 2 exhaust valves burned. I was on a nightly drive. Then all the oil burned away so my turbo got shod.The time the oil light came on it was tooo late. Luckily i only needed to replace the piston,valves,rings,big end bearings.And get the turbo overalled. Since fixing no more issues whatsoever.
The perfect beginning for the Sunday, one of your engine teardowns!
If you come across one that is decent, please pickup a 2.7L Ecoboost. They've only been out for about 6 or 7 years though, so you might find one anytime soon. The 2018 MY and beyond has both DI and PFI.
I have a 2018 ST bone stock and daily drive it 82 miles round trip to work. Never any issues. I change my oil at 3k.
I have a 2014 Fusion Ti with the 2.0 ecoboost. In the 120k miles it had done I have only replaced the purge valve. It has been a very good car for me. Plan on handing it down to my son when I'm done with it. I usually don't keep my cars this long, but this was has been so trouble free I just kept driving it. I only live 5 miles from work so it doesn't get to many miles. I would have bought another Fusion but they stopped making it. Had a 2007 Fusion SEL (4cyl with manual trans.) with no troubles too.
Having to replace my 2016 Ford Fusion SE w/ only 81k miles due to an accident. Other then oil changes, new tires, and a battery I had zero issues with it and sad to let it go. Looking at a used 2014 Ford Fusion Titanium w/ the 2.0L EcoBoost w/ 58k miles. Online reviews seem to be at both ends of the spectrum on the Escape, but issues with coolant leaking into the #3 and #2 cylinders started with an engine redesign starting with the 2015 models. Any such issues with your 2014?
I was watching some of the old videos earlier today and your editing has improved a lot over time
So strange seeing a normal-ish engine being taken apart on this channel. Great videos as usual.
The engine is so clean for 170k, it almost seems like it was replaced with a new engine at some point in the vehicle's life. SO clean! I hope my 2012 Honda Fit coming up on 160k looks even half that good, since I've only had it a year. Changed the oil twice already and it looked good, so I'm confident. Great video!
I have a really hard time believing that engine has 170K on it.
@@MattyLight30 I can show you a e36 bmw with 320k on it that is almost as clean. Oil changes every 4 to 5k and the body will fall off before a well built motor will fail on most cars.
@@michaelwilkening8542 Yeah most cars go out well before the inside of the engine ever does. Designed to go out in a way that's expensive to fix but generally external to the engine; transmission, body rot, electrical gremlins, shit like that.
It ain't as clean this Focus engine is, but the 300 I6 in my F150 at 330k miles still has excellent bearings in it and doesn't burn a drop of oil. And hell even considering it's 36 years old, has a carb, and has a fair chunk of blow by, it's not THAT dirty inside either. Like, you can't scrape sludge off.
Even granpappy's old barge will look nice inside if it gets serviced properly.
@@MattyLight30 I have the exact 2.0l ecoboost engine, mine has 280,000 miles on it.
Isn’t this the engine that has block warpage which causes internal coolant leaks?
Nice to see a happy ending! Plus, I admire your ethics - a rare commodity these days. Looking forward to next week.....
Yes, also glad to see this video. I also tend to keep cars for a long time with good maintenance, so I was real glad to see that such treatment can indeed preserve the engine interior well. Thanks!
You could have told me that engine had 40,000 miles on and it and I’d believe you. Excellent maintenance.
I have a 2013 Ford Escape with the 2L Ecoboost and it's so powerful! The power is instant, passing is a breeze, and can do 0-60 in about 8 seconds, which for a Crossover isn't bad
04 SRT4 2.4t O-60 in 5.5 seconds stock 240hp
@@katdaddy469 That's the same power output of my Escape
@@coastaku1954 must be the weight, transmission, or deference in the tq numbers. The SRT 4 had about 250+ftlbs tq and weighed 3000lbs. All were equipped with a 5 speed manual.
@@katdaddy469 The Escape is heavy, but has a 6 Speed Auto and 270ft-lbs of torque

Man I am so glad I found your channel Eric! I didn't know you did youtube and to think I buy parts day in and day out from you for my miata!
I really like the shop and honestly interests me as your shop would be amazing to work at!
After watching all those tear downs with all those core engines. It's refreshing to see an engine that was actually well maintained!
Keep it up...great job....from Argentina
Doctor Eric, engine examiner. This particular engine was owned by someone who changed the oil religiously at 3000 mile intervals and didn't do tire smoking burnouts. That would be an accurate assessment I believe.
Wdym? What is a "tire smoking burnout"? 🤔
Great choice for a breakdown video. Keep your vids coming. Great instincts!
What a beautiful maintained Ford engine, i love it. Great video 😊👍
That was the most perfect gear puller you could have ever hoped for to get that chunk off of the crank snout. Like it was made for that size piece!
14:24 that is by far the most amazing unpland thing i ever saw in my life
Hole in one!!
Bravo!!! FORD!!! You did a wonderful job!!! Thank you...as always, really enjoyed your video! 😁
I have one of these in an ST, 131k after 18 oil changes (only the 1st change wasn't mine). It's good to see this teardown!
Going to be buying a Focus ST in a couple months, rather ironic this is the first engine you're taking apart that isn't totally destroyed
You will love the ST.. I had 2 of them. Only known problem is the carbon syncros in the transmission. But they do sell brass replacements.
@@chris1451 Got a 2014 with 28,000 miles 3 weeks ago, and you were right - I absolutely love the thing. It is a true blast to drive. To top it off, it came with an extended 6 year 75,000 mile warranty.
I like to see a well maintained engine too. It makes me smile to know there are people that appreciate what they have worked so hard for. When I watch you tear down an engine that has been abused I immediately “cop an attitude” towards the owner. I don’t even know that person, yet I think MORON! Anyway, thanks again for the education. Be safe. Peace
Enjoyed this one! Great channel!
Another great vid Eric! keep up the good work!
I'm sure its not worth your time to tear down a ford Windsor engine, but would love to see one. Maybe a HO 302 from an explorer.
I had an escape with the 2.0 Engine and the engine ran perfect. However at 111k miles I had EXCESSIVE carbon build up on the intake valves. Was causing misfires on startup pretty badly as the carbon prevented the valves from closing all the way. I cleaned them out and voila. Problem went away and engine ran like new. Sadly the transmission went not too long after that. Ford replaced under warranty but 7k miles later the transmission went yet again. Ford bought the vehicle back and got me into a 2020 escape with the 1.5l 3cyl engine and I have to say that engine still amazes me to this day. Has more than enough power for the vehicle and enough to tow 1,500 lbs nicely with no noticable loss of power.
Get rid of it. That little Eco-boost will not last, especially towing something. Have a look at what Scotty Kilmer has to say about this small engine.
What was the year of the 2.0L engine? How long did you own it? Did you tow a lot?
@@ericlind454You were right. I did get rid of it. Lol. 34,000 miles and the transmission failed. Ford cant make a good vehicle anymore. Have a Chevy 2.0T equinox and its been more reliable than the 3 Fords I have owned. That is sad to say.
@@solderbuffNever got to tow anything with it. Just drove it like a normal vehicle. Ford is just garbage after 2012 models. Have a 2.0T Chevy Equinox that had been flawless compared to all the Fords I have owned.
@@nytrackrider2600 , I see, thanks. I am considering buying a Ford Escape with a 2.5L hybrid (the one in Maverick also). But your experience with their transmissions scares me...
Nicely maintained 2.0L TGDI Ecoboost 170k mi engine. These engines in the Focus ST are RUN HARD too on average as its a sport hatch. Always been a fan of Ford 2.0L TGDI. Had one in my beloved '16 Lincoln MKZ AWD. Was a quiet & quick engine. Now have a rock solid Gen2 - 2.3L TGDI in my '21 Ranger Lariat FX4. That's a forever truck!
Very motivating to see the results of proper maintenance. No varnish, no goop.
Can we just appreciate his shirt??? For those who know, know.
As a former ST owner, I wondered about the durability and longevity of that 2-liter turbo motor. One of the reasons I traded was to not have to find out the hard way whether it was a good motor or not! It warms my heart to see one with 170k miles and no signs of unusual wear or damage to any bearing surfaces!
170000 Miles .
The 2l is a pretty bulletproof engine if you take care of it
@@wst8340 Yeah, that's what 170k means
I've gotten 245k miles out of the 2.0T in my old fusion before a deer totaled it. Still started right up. Zero issues with that engine. Main reason why I got the focus st now. These 2.0 engines don't like low rpms I've found, carbon buildup is worse if you baby the engine. These engines love being redlined, my old fusion met redline almost everyday, I bet that engine would still run fine if someone got it out of the junkyard.
I love your channel dude. I sleep to this stuff. Its like wrench turner's ASMR
Certainly we don’t see everything on the channel, but it seems to me that you run your business very well. You don’t want to waste anyone’s time or sell junk or cut corners. That’s a sustainable business and great for customers.
I’m curious to how much longer that engine could have went
I was pulling a head on a '98 Contour to replace the head gasket (this was about 15 yrs. ago), and when I loosened the first camshaft babbitt bearing cap, there was a loud CRACK! I don't know why but, the camshaft had cracked in two. It was a twin cam (4 valve) Sigma (Zetec) engine. 2.0L. Has that ever happened to you? It's always bothered me. I know I didn't do anything wrong. For some reason, seeing you loosen the cam caps brought that memory back. I was half expecting the cam to snap. How weird.
Maybe you should have loosened in order like he did
That a high dollar breaker bar I like it. :) I also enjoyed the playing with the sound covering the hole. My kind of tear down!!!!!
I was so delighted to see this teardown. My personal vehicle is a 2008 Focus, and my work provided vehicle a 2016 4-cylinder Fusion. Both engines are probably somewhat similar to this one. And yeah, I change the oil religiously and don't rag either of them on the road.
How is your 2008 Focus now?
Is this the engine that needs to have the cams locked or you'll goof the timing when removing the crank pulley?
Absolutely!
Yes! Cam and crank sprockets are not keyed!
That seems like a bad design. Harmonic balancer slips and by by motor
@@michaelwilkening8542 It is a bad design and it's wholly intentional. They don't want you working on your own car anymore, so by doing that they make replacing stretched timing chains or worn chain guides all but impossible for the shadetree.
It's one of many ways they try to force you into the dealer shop. And it's part of why I want nothing to do with modern cars; every single one of them is chock full of bullshit decisions like that all for the same reason Apple softlocks your iPhone if you have uBreak change the screen or the battery these days. The idea of anyone but the manufacturer of a 'thing' fixing that 'thing' is an idea that the big manufacturing corps in our world are trying to stamp out one bad design choice at a time.
Good
Once again an instructive video. Well done sir
Cracking the head bolts is pure ASMR.
Hi, yes oil changes are so important! I do mine every year irrespective of mile done. Also when I buy a used car, no matter if it's just been serviced, I do an oil and filter change and sometimes even an ATF & filter change.
I drive mostly older early 2000's Petrol Mercs, usually the w112 320's and w113 5's and 4.3's. It would be really cool to see one of those get stripped please...???
Thanks again, cheers, Bill (UK).
I love the lazer sounds from the sped up air impact
Great video, been waiting to see you break down a ecoboost engine. Was hoping it would have been the 1.6 but cool none the less!
Love to see a good ol 2.0 ecoBoost
NICE AUDIO. Really appreciate how you take the time to lower the volume when using power tools (and/or slap in special effects !)
My daughter loves the pew pew sound of the sped up impact gun.
I helped my buddy change the oil on his 2.7L Ecoboost F150 and they run the cartridge filter on that engine, but nice thing about it is that it's in the top of the engine compartment, so not a huge deal. Reminded me of changing the oil in my other buddy's BMW with the 4.0L V8.
THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS ENGINE I ASKED FOR THIS
Great job! That is actually a pretty well designed engine. Not sure I want one but it has some nice features.
Great video.
I think you have the best job ever!
My 2018 daily driver has this engine in it and I keep it well maintained. It is great on mileage, actually better than advertised, and I haven't had any issues with it. If I run into any issues it came with lifetime power train warranty from dealer so I will be in good shape.
I have a 2013 ST. Just hit 98k today. Bought it new. Oil change every 5k, full synthetic and Lucas super synthetic added as well. I also get the injector/valves cleaned every 15k. These engines can last a really long time if you maintain them correctly. Run good fuel, go big turbo and have fun!
Where do you get the valve cleanings done?
@@hillwood24 I have my mechanic perform the valve cleaning service. If it’s been more than 15-20k it would be wise to have them walnut blasted.
Good to see a teardown on a well kept engine. Now, to answer your question, the reason you didn't use the pucaller first is you wanted to show off that fancy 8' breaker bar.....not that I blame you.
Super clean in there!
Thank you for the great work Sir
I have a 2007 SAAB 9-3 2.0 Turbo with a 6spd gearbox.
I am religious about the oil changes; every 2500 miles with Mobil-1 full synthetic.
I know, many say the oil is good for 5K and I am just wasting my money but the way I see it, this little engine runs hard in the Florida heat and I have always taken care of it no matter where I travel with it around the world.
Im changing oil tomorrow and I just turned 100,000 on the odometer; i am the 2nd owner, bought it when it was 10,000 miles.
good little car.
Love these videos.
Car wizard says this particular engine is really good. Good to see a reliable turbo 2.0 from Ford
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one asking myself why I didn't do the simple solution in the beginning. Lol. Another great video.
Thank u youtube for recommending this video 😍
Nice little set-up 😊
Thanks for the lesson on how to chisel a timing cover. I have never seen that before.
I have a 14 fusion with the same 2.0 motor with half the mileage of this one . I have been wanting to see a full break down ,sense this is a straight injected motor, of the carbon build up as well as normal wear of the engine from the turbo . Looks like if you take care of these motors , they will take care of you . Thanks for the video !! Keep ‘em coming !!
Same car and engine here. Sadly she hasn't gotten many miles the last 18 months, but sitting at 87k.
I have a 2017 eco in my Lincoln, good informational video ,Thanks
Thanks for the upload. I can't wait to see you get your hands on a Mazda Skyactive 2.5.
Agreed, as a 2.5T owner, I'd love to how they compare to this.
I did very well doing cam phasers and timing chains on mzr's. a few techs found out I did them, then they didn't stop coming to my shop. good times.
Just great. I have a 2014 Fusion Titanium, same mill. It's at 130k and I worry about the DI dirtying up the top end. I expected worse than what you found.
Thanks for the free edumacation. You get a subscribe and a thumbs up.
Oh yeah, full syn every five like clockwork.
I also have a 2014 Fusion Titanium 2.0, and just crossed over 120k miles. I've changed the oil every 4,000-6,000 with the Motorcraft semi-synthetic and it runs like a champ. I just bought a few cases of the Motorcraft Full Synthetic that I will use moving forward. I too worry about the carbon build-up, but nothing I've experienced so far tells me it is an issue. Let's hope we get many more trouble-free miles out of these engines.
Have a 2014 FoST myself so I had to tune into this one, cracked me up when you started playing with the block to make some music lmao
I think you did a very good job on this video Thanks for sharing I just bought a escape with that engine
You are exactly how I hoped to be when I was 30… but then I saw the grey hair and I remembered I’m 28 with grey hair… I’m happy you’re able to work for yourself doing something you enjoy doing man and I still wish I can get to that point.
