Hey Buddy; I'll start off by saying that I thoroughly enjoy your videos. However; can you please stop using the "C" word. Your audience includes not just adults, but there are children watching your show also, at least in my household. Thank You.

[@FordBossMe]

I appreciate you bringing that up but at the same time this is an adult Channel and I'm not here to be censured by anybody I will keep that in mind but I'm not changing what I do just because somebody is displeased with a specific way that I say something

[@M4sterT3ch]

Nice Rich, must feel good man. I am in the process of building a 2018 transit 3.5L eco boost right now. Had 4 oil changes in 72k miles, nothing but a sludgefest. Turbos gone, phasers gone, low oil pressure and knocking. Tore engine down and found #1, #2 and #6 rod bearings spun. The #2 and #3 main bearings were in the process of getting welded to the crank so they had damage on the inside but didn't spin so the block is good. Timing solenoid screens and the turbo oil supply screens completely clogged. Getting new crank, intake cams and valve tappets, timing components, 3 connecting rods, all new bearings, oil cooler, a melling high volume oil pump and a new ring kit for the #6 piston, the lower oil control ring was broken. Should be ready this week, parts have been a nightmare to obtain. Moral of the story is CHANGE YOUR OIL FOLKS, every 5000 miles or less.

You ever had an ecoboost come in that after heavy acceleration and you let off the gas suddenly, it gives a quick rattle/knock/clicking noise for a second or two? Otherwise it never makes the noise. Love your videos!

Great job! Nothing wrong with taking your time. This way you don't miss something that could result in a comeback. You went back and reinstalled that clamp. A lot of techs would have just went to the parts counter and got another clamp. Thanks for the tip on that front crank seal. I can see where it would be easy to roll that seal lip.

[@sergioreyes5650]

One of my mistakes while i was in engine rebuilding class was when i didnt paid extra attention the unit of measure. I was torquing down a thin bolt to 15 ft-lbs. I didn't feel resistance......the values on the digital screen kept fluctuating 12 and 13 then all of a sudden..... *POP----CRACK* the whole class and teacher stopped and looked at me as if i just punched someone. I came to realize that the bolt spec was 15 INCH-LBS. Which it then made very clear to me....🤣

[@Maverickf22flyer]

The phasers positions actually don't matter. It's the rear ends of the camshafts which indeed need to be lined up as you've tested with that cam bridge and those should be synchronized only with the accessory belt pulley. It's even logic that it doesn't matter how the phasers are in relation with the other 2 elements, because they have no position sensors anyway, only the advance actuation solenoids which also do not care of nor read the position of the phasers and only apply a given amount of advance.

[@FordBossMe]

The phaser Position Does Indees Matter

Didn’t realize that they had a timing belt on that engine? Is it an “interference” engine? What is the recommended replacement interval? And how difficult is it to do with the engine in the car?

Depending on experience it's not bad, I did one last night in 2 hours it's about a 4.5hr job You do need special tools

replacing my engine in the next few day, thank you for all your videos. A few questions when you have time. read that the rear crossmember/subframe bolts should be replaced (one time use). just want to verify what other items/gasket/seal do you recommend replacing? any other one time use bolts or items. thanks. when you have a chance would you do some 2.0L ecoboost. I do see alot of 1.5L ecoboost. seem like the 1.5L are a bit more problematic. According to Ford Motor Corp my 2017 2.0L with 61114 miles is not one of the affected engines with the coolant leak. So with your Formation on replacing the engine with a new long block from ford. THANK YOU

[@FordBossMe]

You're going to have to go back and look at your timing make sure you put all your timing tools incorrectly at the crank stop in the back make sure you have your crank position timing tool set when you torque your crank pulley down make sure both of the dots on the VCT phasers are pointed up and the timing tool fits and make sure cylinder one is at top dead center or just before it and then you're going to have to put the cambrige back on the backside of the cam to lock those in you're going to have to redo your timing

I have an unrelated question. What's the 90 weight synthetic oil life that going in the PTU on AWD 3.7L MKZ & the same oil for the RDU the reason I separated those 2 units is because the PTU PACKED IN 3 SOURCES OF HEAT - I've had 2 guys from my facebook group and a Fusion group have rear differential noise - Ford says not to change the rear until 50k for piece of mind I had my RDU done at 31,000 miles & the oil had begun to oxidize. What does your experience tell you about servicing the AWD Fusion and MKZ. When these cars came out they claimed lifetime fluid for th AWD which my brain said yeah sure. I'd like to see if my gut is close to your knowledge base. I also don't fix my own car the dealership does Thanks

30k

[@mkzenthusiasts]

@@FordBossMe I was thinking 10k for the PTU and 30 for the RDU. $60 About to change the PTU fluid is better than possibly waiting for a new part these days. Depending on the state of the synthetic oil I may increase the PTU to 20k

Oh yeah it should be a maintenance item there's a flat topic bucket that goes underneath the high pressure pump and eventually it ends up wearing out sometimes it's because of lack of Maintenance other times it's just because it wears out and it should be changed about every 75,000 miles but Ford doesn't tell people that
