Wow, that was a no nonsense video. Good info.

I had one and it did surprisingly well on trails and washes. Lots of torque for how small the engine is. The recurring recalls made me nervous and I traded it after 24k miles.

They truly made that engine one and done. They designed it to be a truly disposable item.. thanks ford.. way to design a expensive turd for us to buy..

I used to be adamantly against the concept of timing belts and valve adjustments in modern vehicles. Now my perspective is that servicing these components should be looked at as a restoration, bringing the engine back to factory specs and tolerances. This maintainable feature will prolong performance and efficiency over a longer period compared to an engine with timing chain that gets incrementally worse and out of spec as it ages. Of course the timing chain shouldn’t need to be replaced until many hundred thousands of miles, but when it is needed, it is expensive and the engine has likely been running tired for longer. In practice, few keep vehicles long enough to warrant multiple timing belt changes or a chain replacement.

As always Audi over complications in engineering. 1997 -2005 were their better years. Today it's nothing more than a shit show of terrible reliability and longevity. I went with Lexus and never looked back.

Doesn’t SH-AWD stand for Sometimes Have-All Wheel Drive?

Seems like a really good vehicle. Shame it's one of the most ugly looking vehicles I've ever seen.

I had heard about CVT failures. After watching this video, it's obvious why these things fail. And this is why I just bought a Subaru with a 6 speed manual. The car manufacturers can keep their CVT's.

Is this still an issue on current generation vcm? I have a 22 Ridgeline. I was under the impression that as long as I don't run the truck in "eco" mode, the vcm won't be engaged. Thanks.

Yep looks like it's a deliberate fail engine ... I wouldn't touch eco anything ... It's all a bullshit agenda anyway ... Global warming my hairy arsehole ... I've used ford transit for twenty years but I wouldn't even look at anything past 2012 ... Go green go bust

That's some nice design work.

good old port injection solves PCV dumping stuff onto valves

Cylinder deactivation has always been an idiotic idea. The issue isn't engine size; it's the weight of the car. An LS V8 swapped vw bug gets three times the fuel economy as an 864 Cadillac running on 4 cylinders.

Nice

😂 old toothbrush

One other comment, those bearings also are laminated and come apart like the Dodge Intrepid bearings

Do not forget bearings also have "bearing crush."

The mains are normally no problem on size, just them damn stupid rod bearing oil clearances which should only be up to .0007 max

Most are wrong bearings put onto the cranks and this holds true on grinds also. You have to know which bearing size, other than just if they are .010, etc.

There are A, B and C bearing sizes for the 2.4L engine. You have to know the standard diameter of your crank and the inner bore of the rod with cap on and also the thickness to have the necessary oil clearance of up to .0007 and to me no more than that. A clearance is from 2.00787 to 2.00811 and B from 2.00811 to 2.00834 and C is 2.00834 to 2.00858

My Man U just saved me $400

Great video my man.

Dam good explaination of the inside of this motor.I floored mine and engine stopped,I think it jumped time and bent the valves.

Great vid! Subscribing...

I’ve been trying to search exactly how the cylinder deactivation works on the V6 engines (I’m well aware how the v8 engines work with cylinder deactivation ) and your video has the best explanation. Thank you

New subscribed from Somalia thanks

Absolutely fukin amazin vid . What skill . Im not a vehical mechanic im a house mechanic.. I watch yt all the time . Probably in the top ten vids ive watched ever 😮

That sure aint no Toyota engine.

Interesting video. No CVT for me, thanks.

Will carb cleaner help. What gas??

My ecoboob has 139k mi

so for all of you that you re saying that ford doesn t make good cars anymore, look at the other brands, have you seen the downfall of mercedes, bmw and audi? why don t u mention them, just because they re german? really? a bad car is a bad no mather the brand, and taking in consideration all these new restrictions we cand say that all cars are shit, vs cars from 2 decades ago, you all shit eaters taking smack in the comm section do ur research before writting non sense

the tehnology and humans destroyed newer engine, now they want low capacity, high horsepower, excellent gas mileage, and to never do an oil change on them if they can, people aren t thinking that with all these tehnology like start stop sistem for fuel economy there comes preventive maintenance also, engines nowadays are made by office workers an peoples reports, people that you can never satisfy enough so there will never be engines like there were made 20-30years ago

Really is a disposable engine. All this so we can sell dino oil. Its madness given all this complexity and points of failure can be replaced by a simple battery and electric motor with controller, just like an RC car. Super simple, reliable, no services required. Gee I wonder why they're fighting against it...

This engine looks like no-one ever changed an oil in it.

Brilliant and detailed knowledge, thank you!

What the name of that part i cant understand the name of the part

i always enjoy side jokes

3rz when?

Supra kid pissed of cuz this is not 2jz

Hi mate, I'm thinking of buying a 2018 Toyota Fielder Station Wagon with 1NZ-FXE engine. Is it a reliable engine?

no key on the trimming thats nuts

Wondering if it's the same as the rt4wd civic

Much respe man, thanks for sharin man good luck man

Very interesting to watch. My 2013 Mitsubishi Evolution X has a similar rear differential. It’s an open rear diff with what Mitsubishi calls “active yaw control system.” Torque vectoring pretty much for the rear wheels with an active center differential. It can send 100% of power to an individual real wheel during hard cornering. Great for the race track.

Do you always use a toothbrush as a pointer and carry your brothers underwear around?

This is amazing. Never did I think I would see a manufacture outside England take one of the most reliable parts of a car and turn it into an overly complex mechanism that surely will be a high failure point. And will never make it to 200K+ mileage with minimum maintanance like a regular diff with a limited slip inside it.

That white stuff looks like blue devil. It’s a sodium silicate that ends up coating the entire inside of the engine. Ask me how I know…

Is it same for focus rs ones too?

I would much rather have a Pentastar 3.6 than a GM High Feature 3.6
