The Ford 3.7-Lateter Hurricane V-6 engine manufactured a variety of vehicles for the automaker in the 2010s. He replaced 4.0 liters of V-6 in Mustang, which gave the pony car more than 300 horsepower in its base form. Ford also put it in the F-150 and Explorer, but it depends on which vehicle you choose. Those differences can greatly determine your future ownership experience.
Here the V-6 you are seeing here comes from the 2019 Ford Explorer police interceptor, and due to its transverse layout, the engine features internally planted water pump. This timing is driven by China, living in V. The stress seal can cause failure, and allows the collagen to penetrate into the crank case and mix with oil, which is horrible for engines.
The water pump was severely damaged, in which the amplifier was missing. And there was a lot of evidence of his death. There was a co -coin where it should not have been, and the entire engine and oil had plenty of metal flakes.
The mileage of this engine is the most important thing. When it failed, V-6 had a distance of about 50,000 miles. It was in a police car, which means a long -term slow behavior, which may have caused it to fail. But still, this is an incredibly low interval for such a large amount of damage.
The only way to avoid a destructive engine failure is to replace the water pump before it is damaged, even though considering how much it is buried, be prepared to spend a lot. Otherwise, your Ford V-6 can end like this.
