After 40 days, my Bronco is back home after new 2.7 engine replacement (for dropped valve)!

Update:
several folks have contacted me to show pics of the new engine. Adding them below. (She is still running great too!)


It took 40 days but my Bronco is back home!

On 12/23, the engine died and it needed to be replaced (read original thread).

Today, 01/31, I got her back! I've only driven about 30 miles today, all seems good so far. I will be taking her to my local OHV Park tomorrow to giver her a proper shakedown!

Glad you're back on the road!

Yay!

Suppose you have to do the engine break-in procedure all over again?

Just send it, what's the worst that could happen?






Too soon?

Wow. Not related to the dropped valves??

Glad to hear! From the report looks like it actually lost 2 cylinders.

Wow that was kinda fast in my book. Two engines before my one July 2020 reservation. Good for you…

build date on replacement? I'm curious.

Glad it's back to you in running order OP.

Looks like #'s 3, 4 & 5 to me.

That really sucks but I am glad you got your Bronco back.

I myself am waiting on a 2.7L and while I obviously have minor concerns - I read a post that was linked from this very forum where a Ford person said basically something like, "Yes, we noticed an issue with a Vendor who was supplying us parts for the 2.7L that was doing something wrong. We've corrected it. So going forward should not be a problem..."

And yeah it sucks to have a problem but once you realize you have a problem the key is fixing it and preventing it from the future.

All 6. The compression reading should have been over 150psi in each cylinder.

Gong to the local OHV park is not part of proper break-in, RV park, maybe

Great tech write up, sounds like #4 dropped Valve, starting chain reaction damage to the rest of the engine.
