[QUOTE="Lambeau, post: 16880017, member: 105189"] [USER=8858]@SID297[/USER] Instead of me screwing up Trav's thread on reviewing the '22 Expedition... [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.svtperformance.com/threads/full-size-fun-2022-expedition-xlt-review.1209902/#post-16878983[/URL] ...I'm starting this thread about EB's and the backside of intake valves coking as a result of direct injection. In the Expedition thread above, Travis responded to several questions I asked regarding this issue and my '19 Explorer Sport w/3.5L EB, w/53k miles. I had installed a JLT/OSC Oil Separator on it at 8k mikes. I also do my own oil changes on it from 2.5k-4K miles using Mobil1 and Motorcraft FL500S Filters. [U]Repost of #12 with Travis's response:[/U] Q: Do you have any concerns about Ford continuing to put this 3.5L EB in vehicles? A: [I]No[/I] Q: Does this have EB still have direct inject? A: [I]Yes[/I] Q: Has Ford solved the valve coking issues on the EB? A: [I]Yes[/I] Q: Does this EB also have the internal water pump? A: [I]No[/I] Q: Any other observations would be appreciated.
