Did you ever figure out where your engine was.built? V or C?Only need top end. Bottom end is fine and capable of holding for me.
Interesting. My 2015 car (build date May 27, 2015) had a Valencia, Spain engine in it...my 2016 has a Cleveland block though :shrug:Motor is built on Cleveland. March 24th 2015
I guess you are the first confirmed Cleveland Engine to go tits up. If you can.let us know the diagnosis it would be much appreciated by many members.Motor is built on Cleveland. March 24th 2015
From what I understand the ford performance cams are a waste of money and provide almost nothing measurable in the way of performance.Wow that is pretty crazy this is the first Cleveland failure. Well I guess it isn't at all as bad as it seemed ....it's a camshaft bolt that is broken...it's the bolt that goes directly into the camshaft through the timing chain . just the driver side is broken. So I'm gonna get the new ford performance aftermarket ones and then just get a new bolt for it as well. I wanted aftermarket lifters and stuff too but there is no lot.
So broken camshaft bolt is the victim. Crazy process
What about the Esslinger cams? FB page someone asked "What kind of gains can be expected for stock, or mildly bolt on, of FBO ecos?"No they aren't but mine is shot because it has the bolt broken off in the cam. So might as well just drop the aftermarket ones in ...but yes I've heard waste of time.
It also requires engine specific tools to get the job done...kinda like ripping into a VW :frusty:The FP cams are generally considered to "not be worth it" because of the effort and time required for installation. While the cost of the cams themselves is cheap, labor rates are not. However, if you're gonna be in there anyways, I'd go ahead and upgrade them. They might only be worth 5-7 horsepower, but if it's stock replacements or these, why not go ahead and snatch up some more horsepower. If I was already going to be into it, I'd throw in the FP cams without a second thought.
If nothing else got broken down the line, that's a pretty easy fix. Amazing that your stealership couldn't diagnose it. And fixing it in situ is a hell of a lot cheaper than replacing a frickin' engine...unless Ford just wants all "engine" failures cycling back through them for failure analysis addle:Wow that is pretty crazy this is the first Cleveland failure.
