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!

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.

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 Жыл бұрын

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

@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.

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.

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.

I think that the differences between the Fiesta ST 1.6 and the escape 1.6 is the owners. Most of the fiesta ST's end up in enthusiast hands, many of whom mod them and understand they are stressing the motor so they change the oil. A lot of escape owners are just looking for a small commuter vehicle and could give a poop about oil changes. These engines are way too high output for people who don't do maintenance. Lot's of fiesta ST owners are pushing 300+ wheel horse power and don't have problems. gotta be the maintenance. Ford is partly responsible here with their lazy schedule.

These engines in the modified Ford car community are regarded as very robust and can take a real beating. A tuning shop i used in the uk when i had my Fiesta ST regarded them as up there with the best engines Ford have ever made, ever, and they have been tuning Fords, and other manufacturer's car for over 50 YEARS. The real problem you have to watch out for is cylinder liners cracking, this is completely random, one engine will take over 400 at the wheels very reliably but another engine might fail at completely OEM ecu calibration. Not many of them fail. Also to mention they are very economical on fuel, I had a big turbo with bigger bosch injectors on mine and i still returned over 50 MPG (about 42 US MPG) which is very good for a small engine making over 350 hp.

Change your oil twice a year with full synthetic. Run 91 octane and don’t lug the motor.

@ChuckThree Жыл бұрын

My FiST had no problem going 75k miles with a Mountune MRX turbo making 300hp 305tq. Changed oil every 3,000-4,000 miles. Freezing weather: make sure oil gets to temp before revving out or loading up (like down shifting). Hot weather: watch engine temps, some guys have issues with cooling on track.

Well you managed to find the other engine I have. The 1.6 in my Fiesta ST is the companion to my 1.0 in my SFE Fiesta. Lol... yeah I know. But they run good! I swear. As a side note, a number of years ago Ford put the turbo from the 1.6 on the 1.0 and put it in a street legal formula car. Made about 200hp from 1.0 liters. Chris Harris made a video on it.

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.

You should tear down a Sea-Doo Rotax 1630 Supercharged triple. They are very high revving, powerful engines that get beat on. I think it would be a cool engine to see, and as a marine engine, it might have some interesting quirks.

Hard to believe just watching a fellow tear a broken engine apart could be so entertaining. Keep up the good work and show us more. Would you consider tearing apart a transmission? I've had transmissions fail in two different Dodge mini vans. It would be nice to see what goes wrong with them. Before the critics start on me, the first one lasted 270,000 miles, which in Chrysler tranny speak is almost 2 and 1/2 life times.

Interesting that these absolutely grenade themselves in the Escape, but the higher output I.6L Ecoboost in the Fiesta ST is considered to be almost bulletproof. I would love to know what's different. Is it really as easy as the ST being made in Europe, by hand?

@2damaxmr2 Жыл бұрын

Most likely the automatic transmission is loading the motor up too much at lower rpm and LSPI.

@bigbuckoramma Жыл бұрын

@@2damaxmr2 LSPI is my general belief too. The additional weight of the Escape not helping the situation, along with the transmission short shifting (gotta game those EPA Numbers somehow, right?). I think the added output, and the lower weight of the Fiesta lend itself to not suffer from either of those problems. Generally people are running the Fiesta ST engine at a higher RPM than the Escape would typically operate at as well, which also helps. I never experienced LSPI when I owned my Fiesta ST, and never had any mechanical issues whatsoever.

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.

I had a '16 Fusion with the 1.5 that replaced the 1.6. I figured four years into the design, the bugs would be worked out. Nope. Engine failure at 140,000 miles due to coolant intrusion. Ford quoted $10,000 for a new block. I chose to sell the car for basically scrap. I have learned that Ford finally redesigned the top of the block for 2021 to correct the coolant intrusion problem. I'm temporarily driving an old cheap truck I bought from a coworker to get me by. Wondering how I'm going to afford payments at current prices without having a trade-in. Whatever happens, I'm not buying a Ford.

It seems that once the bearing shell becomes free, it blocks the oil flow to the "new" bearing surface which now only gets splash lubrication. Splash may be enough for basic lubrication but not to remove the heat. The temper color shows the temperature reached. Nice tear down. Great photograph and narrative.
