WHAT HAPPENED!? This Poor 1.6L Ecoboost Has Been Through Hell!

Check out our website at www.Importapart.com or email us at [e-mail] for parts and part inquiries.
I've been tearing down engines on camera for 2 and a half years! Search my channel to see what I've torn down.
Today I tear down a 1.6L Ecoboost from a 2013-2016 Ford Escape. Its also the same 1.6 Ecoboost found in 13-14 Fusion, some Ford Transits, and the Fiesta ST(may be some differences). This engine was upside down in the core area of a local salvage yard which did NOT do it any favors. Storage conditions aside, this engine was ROUGH and probably endured a terrible end of life as it seems maintenance wasn't done as often as it should've been, ultimately leading to this engine's demise. I've done several EcoBoost engines, 1.0, 2.0's, 2.7 and 3.5's and all of them have had different types of failure modes.
Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business in the Saint Louis Missouri area. Part of our model includes dismantling "Bad" engines to salvage good parts from them. We do not rebuild engines, merely sell parts to those that do!
I really hope you enjoyed this teardown, as always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. You can catch these teardowns every Saturday night! I've torn down well over 120 engines on this channel so if there's an engine you want to see torn down I may have already done it!

[@Flenders1983]

@trollolol705: In my opinion small Ford engines (1.0 L to 1.6 L ) are not so bad. I am from germany and I love small engines (3 to 4 Zylinders). If you drive those Engines with low rpm - they consume less fuel. I would never buy a 6- or 8-zylinder block in my hole live. Nor an 4-Zylinder with more than 1.6 L displacement. You can drive those engines with 52 to 62 Miles per Gallon. That would be impossible with "big" engines with more than 2 Liters displacement. All engines I have driven have lasted over 160,000 km. At that point, my cars are 16 years old.... and often doesn't pass the german TÜV (Technical Supervisory Association). So... after 16 years, without TÜV - I have to replace the old car with a new one anyway. Perhaps "small engines" - showed their advantages only in small countries. And are not created for "big countries" with endless long roads - like in countries like the USA. So if an engine is not suitable for the US-market - it does not have to be a bad engine at all. It works very well in Europe.

[@silicon212]

That harmonic balancer bolt is a TTY bolt, one-and-done. It is tightened to 76 lb ft, then 90 degrees, then 15 degrees. This is all that holds this engine in time, as you see by the lack of keys on the crank sprocket. When timing this engine, you have to have special tools to hold the cam phasers at a certain place, plus the crank in a certain place, then lock the flywheel. I just did one of these this past week, a 1.5 in a 2015 Fusion. As long as you follow the protocol, there will be no trouble and I certainly did not experience any issues but it was fun getting to that top starter bolt in order to lock the flywheel ... Snap-On to the rescue here. Why Ford builds these without keying at least the sprocket is beyond me. BTW the harmonic balancer does provide the tone ring for the crank position sensor - it absolutely does need to be installed at a certain location while torquing the bolt. There is a toolkit you can get that contains all relevant tools for this process.

[@ratdude747]

Reportedly this to allow a more precise timing... and also might be stronger too (as keys are stress risers). Maybe a cost savings too?

[@dominickjones7308]

Well explained 👍 I had one come in after a shop had done a timing belt on a ford fiesta 1.6, only without the proper tools. Needless to say once I had removed the head to examine the carnage, every single valve was bent. The tools are required to properly do this job, no exceptions.

Just did one the other day the torque number you gave is wrong its 300 nm and additional 90 degrees without using the multiplier tool, it sounds a lot but its not really, i only had to sweat to remove the bolt as it tends to seize overtime so had to use extension on my 1/2 breaker bar which almost bent it but i got it loose

[@chris3407]

I enjoy the oil pump teardowns, so I also like the new oil filter inspection. Nice addition.

[@cameronmandle7072]

Myself and a large group of Fiesta ST owners hold this engine in very high regard. There are a lot of us pushing huge boost and power levels through stock, unopened engines for long periods of time and have no issues (personally 36psi and ~400whp with the help of ethanol, turbo and fuel system upgrades, at 120k miles). There are some issues needing addressed like most cars/engines, but Ford did a good job on these, you just have to maintain them like anything else. I've personally never had to do anything to mine besides normal age related maintenance and supporting mods, and no one I know personally has had an engine failure.

I have an old Soviet era car, the engine has definitely seen better days and is due for a rebuild. If I wasn’t so far away, I would have loved to see you tear down this engine and laugh at it’s lawnmower-like design 😂 It’s running right now, burning a lot of oil and clattering loudly. It will likely keep running like this till long after humanity has gone extinct, but it’s a loud clattering James Bond machine. It’s insane how worn down these engines can be and still run relatively fine. That’s what you get when tolerances are measured in inches.

[@BoopdaBeep]

I owned a 2013 Fusion with one of these engines. It's the only way you could get a 6-speed manual in a 2013+ Fusion. I loved it. I put a lot of hours on idling and a lot of miles, too. I drove it back and forth between Ohio and the Pacific Ocean. Maybe I got lucky, but damn that was actually a reliable engine for me. Edit- I should point out that I did end up getting rid of the car, because after 223k miles and thousands of idle engine hours, all the seals and gaskets began leaking. To repair everything would've been fairly extensive and would've cost a lot to do, so I traded it in for a 2017 Fusion with the 2.7TT, but I happen to know my old car is still being enjoyed by someone in the next county over. At least, they were as of last year, I think.

now that you have an oil filter cut apart tool, the way to inspect the filter media, is you take a utility knife and cut all the way around the filter media top and bottom. then cut it across on both sides of the pleating crimp. then you can remove the media, and stretch it out. then all of the debris is on display.

I’ve been driving a 2.2 eco boost cobalt 5speed for 3 years now, I paid 2700 bucks for it. It now has 136,000 on it and I can’t seem to blow it up to send you for your channel, I am always driving it hard but it takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

I really think the filter by passed a lot of metal, the element is lacking a lot of 'sparkles' , bypass valves in cheap filters open way too soon to slow the enviable down. Plus small engines usually have a tendency to run hotter oil Temps. Great stuff!

[@TassieLorenzo]

It's the OE Motorcraft/Purolator filter though. Is it too cheap?

[@kinglangren]

@@TassieLorenzothe Motorcraft filter is a good filter

Own similar engine (JTJA) in my Fiesta. It is actually at 171k km. Did almost 1k km in less than a week. Its fuel usage is great! Less than 6L /100km doing 110km/h.

👍 From a 1978 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Kent CrossFlow, to a Ford Escape 1.6L Ecoboost Engine. Very interesting.

Eric I would like to see you check for severe block and head distortion in your videos. Easiest way to do it, simply place the MLS head gasket on your flat metal table after removing hopefully without bending it lol. Any major distortion will be visible in the shape of the MLS head gasket when placed against a somewhat flat surface. Combustion leaks between layers of the MLS head gasket will also be visible.

[@edgismi7840]

Wonderful video, as always. I love these pieces of **** (or ford😂) we sell a lot of these. And I laughed when only one injector came out because that always happens to me and I have gone through a lot. And the usual issues i see are either a snapped belt and bent valves or bottom end gone kaput😀 Oh and I had a few with melted pistons, so injector failure is also an issue.

Hey man I needed that insulator foam thingy 😂😂😂😂

Have a 1.6 petrol turbo Ecco boost 2013 New Zealand new Kuga (New Zealand Escape) AWD - got it 2nd hand April 2021 at 134800K - believe it was used as company rep vehicle as most mileage was done in its first 4 years - now doing less than 5000k a year - am changing engine oil every 6 months due to the short stop start running its doing - mileage now 150000k and runs well - no smoke or oil use etc - here’s hoping I made the right choise

[@Meatpipeify]

Would love to see a 2.3 Ecoboost teardown; given I own two of them! These ecoboosts had a lot of coolant intrusion issues due to the cross drilling slots between the cylinders you can see around 15:35. The revised block you mentioned cross drills these passages instead of having them open to the head gasket.

[@mark37f]

I was wondering if those crack or not...

"Leave no turn unstoned." 👍🤣🤣

[@JLMEALER2000]

I pulled a 5.4 down that had far worse camshaft journal wear. After a bit of smoothing out and some tricky work on the plug threads backing repair coils end to end (one upside down in the combustion chamber), and flat top pistons in this 2V, the engine runs great. Now I have a 1.6 to play around with... Seems like I need to add shims under the cam buckets to ease up a noise andthe need of tappet shims like most OHC engines.

[@robertgrimwood4183]

The 1.6 from the Fiesta ST isn’t technically an interchange because it’s higher compression in comparison to one out of an Escape/Fusion. Some Fiesta ST guys do use Escape engines, but tunes are needed.

[@mistertubby]

do you know if the compression difference is from chamber volume or from the boost produced through tuning?

[@js8442]

when is the stand up comedy tour starting? seriously your sense of humor is spot on😁

[@toddbob55]

Mom has a 2013 Escape with 200,000 miles she has had no issues and it still runs very quiet

Don't want to leave any turns unstoned, love it! 😂

Hope your feeling better👍
