Sorry never saw this. Just had the basic first bolt ons any teenager would do lol, but I bought it used that way. Started misfiring on cold starts and puffing a little smoke within a few weeks of me buying it. All stock now.
Sounds like a head gasket problem. Might want to check the oil if you're seeing smoke.
Wow, I'm using the same plugs in my built setup. Assembly is finally all done but the shop is waiting on a tool from ford to do the timing. Hopefully i'll have mine back within a week or two. Its been nearly 5 months now without mine.
Haha you missed the part above where I said it was at the dealer getting a new long block already
Finally got it back a couple days ago and all is well so far. Feels terribly underpowered, but I'm going break in the engine a little before any real hard driving. It's got a 1 yr warranty, so if I'm smart I'll wait until that's over before I consider an NX2 haha.
Oh good to hear! Yeah if I could go back, I wouldn't of tuned or modified this ecoboost one bit.. or would of just waited to buy a 5.0. This is going to be my 3rd engine, first was head gasket, second has a rod go through the bottom.... not even 5K miles on it yet. Hard lesson learned for damn sure.Haha you missed the part above where I said it was at the dealer getting a new long block already
They ended up ordering the short block and head separately and building it there.
I was originally thinking it would be an "easy" head gasket job, but when they said they were replacing the entire thing I wasn't going to argue... Haha
