That cylinder had a lot of oil in it, so i think it was on the way out anyway! But who knows it could have lasted years with low compression.

Closing out this post. The engine is up and running it turned out to be a clogged Cat on that bank. There were never any codes for the Catalytic Convertor and when I asked the dealer to check the cat after former Ford tech recommend it, they said it couldn't be that and wanted to open up the...

I want them, but I'm Virginia Beach no where near local.

So the issue with my car has been elevated to the Ford engineers, who have sent back a list of things for the technicians to do. I guess will see if the engineers have more insight then the local techs.

crjackson yep did the crank relearn , it was a little nerve racking holding the fresh engine at 3200rpm then it started getting hot... I ended up buying one of those vacuum filling attachments for the coolant I've never had such a problem burping a car before. Next try the relearn worked. The...

Attention to detail, attention to detail, or pay the consequences! I had to pull the motor back out put the crank wheel on. Mannnnny hours later the motor is back in and car started right up, it's crazy how quiet it is with the stock tune and air box back on. i still have the miss issues above...

I have no spark to the plugs. I went through the wiring again to make sure i didn't miss any of the connectors there were all good and they are almost impossible to mix up the way they fit on the harness. The sensors where swapped over from my old engine one at a time.

Thanks, I'm going to put a battery charger set a 2amps on and charge for a few hours. I've checked the 2 grounds I pulled, the first was on the hood cowl and the second was where the motor mount bolts on to the engine both are tight.

Thanks, that is how I'm used to doing it on non-computer controlled cars, but the electronics seem pretty sensitive on these cars and i didn't want to damage anything

So, after a little over a month a re-manufactured Ford long block track pack engine now resides in my engine bay. I went with the Ford reman engine mostly because of the 3yr unlimited mileage warranty that they provide. Doing the swap myself was a bit of a challenge not much different then the...

I found the part number

Do you know what part number the Gen 2 short block is? I'm not planning on boost but I want strong reliable motor, mild tune using my JLT CAI and maybe later a 2018 intake

Well the compression test is back 60psi on #8, bore scope shows oil on the piston/cylinder walls. The valves all looked closed and seated. Whats the next step? Pull the engine and check the heads? Buy a $3300 CR3Z-6009-D 2011-12 Boss short block? A long block for $7500-7800 or so M-6006-M50A1?

I'll talk to the shop, right now I'm waiting to here back about the bore scope and compression test. I could see fuel being an issue when it had the 85mm TB tune with a 80mm TB actually being on the car it was running rich as hell without any misfires. Once i changed the tune to reflect the...

No, I literally just bought the car I've had it for a month and a half. I let myself get suckered by a Cody Logan who said that when Ford replaced the engine it was with a Gen 2 block.
