New motor getting fitted. I noted on the crate the engine was built in 2011. If the new engine is ten years old would this still have the check valve before the oil pump? Did Ford change anything on the 3.2 in the last ten years? Driving around with a new engine a decade old sounds backward...

I asked Ford Australia about who made the engine and they didn't know and told me to ask the Dealer who didn't know either. I had a look at the crate and there is an engine number stapled on the crate (not engine) but no Ford stamped anywhere. Definitely not made in the USA.. I'll find out. I...

Phil do you know how they prime a brand new engine with oil before turning it over? If an engine can loose oil pump prime by something as simple as an oil change then the new oil pump would have no chance of priming. The plain bearings in crank, mains, cam etc would be destroyed if they have...

I would go to a car yard and listen to others to compare. I for one would hate to hear this racket. My 3.2 diesel started clicking under load before it spun a main but it was from the base of the motor. In my case I knew something wasn't right but most people probably wouldn't have noticed it...

Thanks for that appreciated. Dropped off Ranger yesterday for new engine. Yeah they definitely know about the oil pump priming issue. There's no excuses for what occurred to my engine. I hope the bloke who did my first service is not the same one fitting my new engine.. My main concerns now are...

No brand new crate long motor. I contacted a Ford Engine seller outside of Ford who claimed to sell genuine engines that have there own engine number. They cost$10.000. I've fitted Chevs and other motors in the past and always had to update licence registry with new engine number by law. The...

This is the email the Ford Dealer Workshop manager sent me regarding the new 3.2 litre engine they are fitting. I've never heard of any engine being made without a engine number. Stamping an engine number from another engine sounds like what a Chop shop would do. Anyone heard of this? "The...

These engines have a serious defect and there are many engines like mine. If you drain the oil longer than ten minutes the oil pump looses prime. Once ten litres of new oil is added and the vehicle is started the engine runs without oil and catastrophic engine damage occurs. It's noted all over...

I can't find engine number dose anyone know where it's located? My dealer is telling me my new engine needs to be stamped with my old engine number. Sounds a bit sus. Do other Ford new engines come without a engine number?

After service I sampled oil and the oil was very black like lthe oil change wasn't done. Ten litres of clean golden new oil so black you couldn't shine a torch through the bottom of the jar with 50 ml of oil. If I didn't know better it was like they refilled my engine with old oil. I won't even...

Yeah Warranty new engine fitted next week. We are all in lock down here which makes things interesting..

G'day from Australia, Have some serious issues with my PU XLS 2019 .3.2 engine. I'm not here to flame the dealer and won't mention who they are. The damage has been done and Ford are replacing the engine under warranty. Ranger run beautiful up to the first service at 15,000 klms. Dropped off...
