2.3L EcoBoost Long Block Timing & Assembly Process

If you have recently purchased a EMS S550 BaBuBu Short Block and need tips on how to assemble / time your EcoBoost long block, this tutorial is for you!

[@Ringland_Failure]

This is the first “timing job” I’ve seen for these cars on KZbin. Can’t find a good descriptive video like this.

[@engineeredmotorsportsolutions]

Glad it was helpful

[@hayderlion19]

Thank you for the excellent video. God bless you and your team. 🙏👌👍

[@ParkerPerformanceFL]

What a great time! Who’s ready to build their own motor? “The EMS Experience” 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@engineeredmotorsportsolutions]

Think I should do that?

[@ParkerPerformanceFL]

@@engineeredmotorsportsolutions I can bet you someone will want to get their hands dirty for the experience! Maybe make a plaque that says hand-built or assembled by. Just a crazy thought!

This is amazing! Sharing the knowledge! I'd love to say I'd give building a try, but better left to the professionals! EMS FTW!!!

[@engineeredmotorsportsolutions]

Track you! We try to be open and share info with the community!

Thank you for this great video. I just learned a lot..... I just bought my first ecoboost 2017 Mustang... and u love it . This is the nicest Mustang i have ever owned.. My last Mustang, which was t boon 4 weeks ago was a 2013 fast back V6 cyclone engine ... I just found your video ... and now I understand how a ecoboost engine is built.... I am looking forward to all your other videos. I am a sponge just want to learn more and all about my engine . And how too keep it running for a long time ... I am open for advice. Again thank you .I really got a lot out of your video .. Have a great day, and God Bless

[@NoraGarza-jr1bw]

hey tonymanitta7078 where did you get the timing tool kit ? i need to replace mine and cant find a part that fits

[@hayderlion19]

Best video for this engines on KZbin 👌💪👍

[@wildman00sax]

Makes me want to swing on by and do a build for my car before summer and Mustang Week 2024

[@kendlerpeckinpaugh1865]

This is awesome

[@engineeredmotorsportsolutions]

Thank you sir

[@didierboilot8846]

thank you for this excellent video, I have owned a mustang ecoboost since 2017 and I am very happy to learn about this engine. I have a question for you: I would like to renew the coolant and I would like to know if there is a drain on the engine block (in addition to that of the radiator) because if I am not mistaken when you drain only from the bottom of the radiator you do not completely remove the liquid. If you had a diagram a photo or a video on this At this point I will be very interested and will be grateful to you. Thank you so much.

If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities.

[@user-jk3ui3qf4r]

You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.

[@gabrielh5937]

Thanks for your video, i rebuilt my 2.3 2016 mustang and engine wont start, i have no spark, scanner says crank fueling disabled and it says ckp and cmp not synchronization, please help and advice greatly appreciated. Engine sounds great cranking i followed all of your video. Would be great to show the crank pulley install.

[@engineeredmotorsportsolutions]

Did you use the special tool to time the engine and the special tool to set the crank position sensor? It’s also a good idea to reset the ecu as well. Our pullies are keyed, so they only go on 1 way.

[@pumafeet10]

Have you ever used or looked into using the regular n/a ford focus head on an ecoboost block? I’m going down that road for my st and wanted to see if u had insights

[@engineeredmotorsportsolutions]

yes, and it is possible, but you will lose the vacuum pump, have a different HPFP housing, and be liited to the OEM cams the came in that cylinder head or custom made heads.

[@sethrowe1]

does it matter which position you install the chain in? i’ve seen some people say it doesn’t matter and some people say that the black link should be facing out

[@mdemaree40500]

On OEM phasers does it matter where they are when setting the timing before putting the timing chain on and torquing the cam bolts down?

[@engineeredmotorsportsolutions]

No sir

[@justinbuchanan107]

Does it matter how i put in the harmonic balancer if it isn't keyed??

[@mattc1785]

Did you use a gasket on the oil pump or the pickup tube?

[@Camdynslife]

Do y’all sell the plate for the timing of the camshafts?

[@AnthonyRice-ix6wf]

Man I want to build one so bad…..buying one outright would put a dent in my pocket. You guys have everything I would need to start from a naked short block and end up with a full motor?

[@engineeredmotorsportsolutions]

Yup

[@user-lr1vd8om2d]

He who is contented is rich.

[@davidlorenzo754]

Whats the torque spec on the cam caps??

[@user-go9hd5tm9n]

What was the foot pounds of torque on the cam caps think that’s what there called

[@thxman1968]

I wanna say 7 inch pounds...triple check lol. I stripped mine, definitely a bummer.

[@focusforlife]

How necessary is it to deck the head on a used head?

[@engineeredmotorsportsolutions]

We believe it to be crucial to always have a true cylinder head when building these engines!

[@focusforlife]

@@engineeredmotorsportsolutions good to know. Thanks so much.

[@MrRicardoglzcdn]

Cam shaft bolts r u sure torque is 142lb ?

[@JessieRingley]

cam cap bolts are 142 in lbs, phaser bolts are 30 ft lbs then 60 degrees

[@alonsos4]

@@JessieRingley 2.5 duratec is pretty similar,I found 72Nm without additional torque in degree. Looks at the end similar. Is correct?

[@marswrld2489]

Is it stock
