Definitely points to a mechanical issue of some kind. Airflow isn't even needed on these until a certain point, the factory cars have grille shutters that stay closed a lot of the time for efficiency reasons. Just cruising around even with a blower shouldn't even max out factory cooling, let alone what you have.Alright well I installed this exact fan today and took the car out again. Same outcome. cylinder head temps got over 230 and coolant was around 220 all in a 15min drive and never going over 3500rpm or seeing any boost. also the outside air temp was only 95 degrees today which if 15 degrees cooler than last time i drove it.
the weird thing is the car runs and drives great. no symptoms of any engine damage at all. So i'm really at a loss at the moment.
Does anyone know if its possible to install the wrong head gasket or intall them incorrectly? that's the only thing I can think of right now
As far as the head gasket question, it is possible to install the wrong gasket and block cooling passages. I haven't seen the differences between the gen 2 and 3 heads, but I know it's possible on the ecoboost.
