Know This Engine Before You Buy
The research behind our purchase interview — recalls, bulletins and real install economics for this engine family:
A quick look at your own vehicle makes sure the right engine shows up:
- Confirm the 8th character of the 17-digit VIN is the letter 'P'.
- Confirm existing turbochargers are in good, reusable condition.
What the install really takes — plan and budget with confidence:
Special tools this job needs:
- Camshaft alignment/holding fixtures and chain tensioner hold-down tools (Ford 303-1248, 303-1530, 303-1655, CTA 6680, or Assenmacher F1248)
- Rear Main Seal Installer tool (303-1250)
- Quick-disconnect tools for fuel and transmission lines
- Inch-pound torque wrench
- High-end OBD2 diagnostic scan tool (Ford IDS/FDRS or FORScan with J2534 pass-thru)
Budget for these consumables at install:
- 6.0 quarts premium SAE 5W-30 synthetic blend or full synthetic motor oil (Ford WSS-M2C961-A1)
- Cartridge-style oil filter (Motorcraft FL-2062-A)
- Motorcraft Yellow Prediluted Antifreeze/Coolant (Ford WSS-M97B57-A2)
- Six new spark plugs (Motorcraft SP-594) pre-gapped to 0.030 inches
- New upper and lower intake manifold gaskets
- New exhaust manifold gaskets and turbocharger mounting gaskets/O-rings
- New turbocharger oil feed and drain line O-rings and crush washers
- New single-use yellow plastic oil pan drain plug
- New oil pan gasket/sealant
- New valve cover gaskets
- New front and rear crankshaft seals
What your vehicle’s computers will need after the swap:
What’s involved: Programmable Module Installation (PMI), Parameter Reset (PATS), and Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Relearn
sources differ: Arm 1 states no PATS security re-marriage is needed if retaining the original ECU, only requiring a CKP relearn. Arm 2 states a full Programmable Module Installation (PMI) and PATS parameter reset are required to sync the immobilizer. Cautious value 'yes' selected for programming and dealer tool requirements.
Pro tips for a smooth first start-up — hand them to whoever does the install:
- Do not reuse old turbo oil feed lines or their inline mesh filters if the original engine failed due to oil starvation or metal debris; clogs will destroy the transferred turbos.
- Inspect the wet belt (belt-in-oil) that drives the oil pump while the engine is out.
- The composite oil pan is a one-time use part; reusing it will cause leaks.
- Oil pan bolts require a specific, low torque value in inch-pounds and a strict center-out sequence.
- On 4x4 models, the front differential must be unbolted and lowered a few inches to access oil pan bolts.
- The engine will not start or run correctly until the PCM/immobilizer is programmed.
Easy to get right once you know them:
- Attempting to reuse the plastic oil pan to save money.
- Assuming the engine is plug-and-play and ignoring the required PCM/PATS programming.
- Overtightening oil pan bolts with a foot-pound torque wrench or failing to follow the torque sequence.
- Failing to replace turbo gaskets, seals, and feed lines when transferring the turbochargers.
Not issues with the units on this page — the manufacturer documented these for every engine of this family, wherever you buy one. Handy for your installer:
🔎 Recommended at install: Ford dealers perform an engine cycle test and replace the entire engine if a valve failure is detected.
🔎 Recommended at install: Replace the entire rear crankshaft seal with its retaining plate assembly (service base part #6335) using special tool 303-1250.
🔎 Recommended at install: Replace the variable cam timing (VCT) units.
🔎 Recommended at install: Replace with updated pan and press-in-place gasket using specific torque sequence.
🔎 Recommended at install: Inspect and address turbo underboost system.
🔎 Recommended at install: Replace faulty A/C clutch diode to prevent damage to the Body Control Module (BCMC).
Researched from factory recalls, TSBs and OEM service data (reference unit 300-10613-5036032). Unit-specific details — mileage, condition, warranty, freight — are covered in the checkout interview.
Policies, in plain English.
Shipping & Handling
- Ships by LTL freight on a pallet — a real freight truck, not a parcel van
- Your checkout freight quote covers delivery to your door (liftgate service included for residential addresses)
- The carrier calls ahead to schedule a delivery window — someone must be present to receive it
- Typically palletized and picked up within 2–3 business days; transit time depends on distance
120-Day Warranty
This part includes a 120-day warranty.
- If the part fails within the warranty window, we'll replace it or refund per the coverage terms
- Coverage is parts-only — installation labor is not included
- Warranty covers defects — not installation errors, misuse, or damage after installation
Your pre-purchase interview reviews these exact terms with you before anything is charged.
Returns (30 Days)
We accept returns of uninstalled parts within 30 days of delivery for this part.
- Defective parts: We will replace the part or issue a refund at our discretion
- Programming: "Needs to be programmed to my vehicle" is not a valid return reason. Many modules require dealer programming — we're happy to help connect you with resources if your dealer says it's not programmable
- Return shipping: This part ships by freight (LTL) — the part price is refundable per the terms above, but shipping costs are non-refundable and return freight follows the seller's return terms. Your pre-purchase interview walks through the exact numbers before you buy
- Parts must be returned in original packaging and unmodified condition
- Poorly packaged returns that arrive damaged will not be credited
Damaged in Shipping?
Freight damage is rare — and you're fully protected when you do two things at delivery:
- Inspect before you sign — you're allowed time to look the pallet over while the driver waits
- Write any damage on the delivery receipt before signing — that one line is what makes a freight claim succeed
- Severe damage? Refuse the delivery — it goes back at no cost to you and we make it right
- Photograph the pallet before unwrapping; report concealed damage within 24 hours of delivery
We handle the carrier claim — you just help document it. Your pre-purchase interview walks through this checklist too.
Order Cancellation
Cancel before shipment for a full refund. Once the pallet has been built, a preparation charge may apply — and once the freight carrier picks it up, shipping costs are non-refundable and standard return terms apply. Your pre-purchase interview shows the exact numbers before you pay.
