2.7L V6 Engine Complete Assembly (Less Turbocharger) for 2019-2024 Ford & Lincoln

A quick look at your own vehicle makes sure the right engine shows up:

• Confirm the 8th digit of the VIN is 'P'.
• Verify the engine is mounted transversely (sideways) in the engine bay.
• Confirm if the vehicle is Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) or All-Wheel Drive (AWD).

What the install really takes — plan and budget with confidence:

Special tools this job needs:

• Crankshaft Pulley Holding Tool (OTC 4754)
• Camshaft Timing Alignment Tool Kit (CTA 7641)
• A/C Evacuation & Recharge Station
• Precision Torque Wrench (In-Lbs)
• Ford-specific seal installer (303-1250)

Budget for these consumables at install:

• Engine Oil: 6.0 quarts of SAE 5W-30 full synthetic oil (Ford WSS-M2C946-B1 or WSS-M2C961-A1)
• Oil Filter: Motorcraft FL-2062-A or FL-910S
• Coolant: Motorcraft Yellow (WSS-M97B57-A2) or Orange (WSS-M97B44-D2) Prediluted Antifreeze
• Spark Plugs: Set of 6 OE-spec spark plugs (Motorcraft SP-578 or SP-594), pre-gapped to 0.030"
• Turbocharger installation kit (gaskets, O-rings, hardware)
• Upper and lower intake manifold gaskets
• Exhaust manifold gaskets
• Oil pump tube seal (Part FT4Z-6626-A) if oil pan is removed
• Front and rear crankshaft main seals
• Crankshaft Pulley Bolt (Part FT4Z-6A340-A) - Torque-to-Yield (TTY) single-use

What your vehicle’s computers will need after the swap:

What’s involved: Misfire Monitor Neutral Profile Correction (CKP Relearn) & PATS Security Re-initialization

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must perform a Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Relearn to prevent DTC P0315 and false misfires. Additionally, the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) must be re-initialized to recognize the new engine components. A dealer-level scan tool (Ford IDS/FDRS) or advanced diagnostic tool (Forscan) is required.

Pro tips for a smooth first start-up — hand them to whoever does the install:

• The 4-Stage Crankshaft Bolt Torque sequence must be strictly followed using a new TTY bolt and holding tool to prevent timing gear slippage.
• Plastic oil pan bolts must be torqued to exactly 89 INCH-pounds in a cross-pattern sequence. Do not use foot-pound wrenches or impact guns.
• Turbocharger oil feed line mesh filters must be thoroughly cleaned or replaced to prevent debris from starving and destroying transferred turbos.
• AWD models require careful alignment and sealing when reconnecting the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) and intermediate shaft bracket.
• Let the crankcase drain overnight before applying RTV sealant to ensure the oil pan mating surface is completely dry.

Easy to get right once you know them:

• Reusing the single-use torque-to-yield (TTY) crankshaft pulley bolt, leading to pulley slippage and catastrophic valve damage.
• Torquing plastic oil pan bolts to 89 foot-pounds instead of 89 inch-pounds, cracking the pan and stripping block threads.
• Failing to perform the mandatory Misfire Monitor Neutral Profile Correction, resulting in immediate misfire codes and flashing CEL.
• Not transferring AWD-specific oil pans and brackets before attempting to install the engine into an AWD vehicle.
• Reusing old turbo gaskets, seals, and fasteners, leading to boost, oil, or coolant leaks.
• Skipping the PATS immobilizer security relearn, causing a no-start condition.
