    Some 2018 Expedition/Navigator owners may llke to know about TSB 18-2153 concerns the oil pressure. Google search, it comes up, top of page...

    Four hundred twelve miles

    I got home tonight, popped the hood to check the oil level/condition, and found it to be as clean as can be and not low. So I started it up plugged in OBD scanner........no stored codes??? Also noticed there's a faint knock knock knock present now. Happy Valentine's day to me, LOL. The picture...

    Four hundred twelve miles

    Affirmative Captain + cam phasers, but only after swapping heads on to new block. So it was simply a matter of time, before I was back in the same place.

    Four hundred twelve miles

    412 miles, is the net mileage from when I got my '18 back with new block and rotational assembly, until the low oil pressure warning message inexplicably appeared ~only 2 miles from leaving. the house on the way to work this morning. For the hater(s)...that is with zero test and tune trips...

    Hmmm.....14HP boost.

    There was talk of this on F-150 Ecoboost forum, also Granatelli Motorsports had an extensive mods video with several incremental mods including their own "brand" of coil on caps, claiming even more hp than the "Sultan of Spark" brand. The common denominator with both brands and their promo...

    Warning low oil pressure!

    Thanks for proving my point. Glad to live in America, where people can freely do as they please, so long as it doesn't interfere with anyone else's liberty/freedom. Just as you are free to admonish what I've done with my vehicle, you are free to spew your opinion. Yet the one thing you can't...

    Warning low oil pressure!

    Here's a little tidbit of published information I ran across today, straight from Ford Performance boss Carl Widmann. I HAD TO slip it in here, simply because it is indicative vindication of EXACTLY what I've said before, yet some folks tend to think I had/have utterly no clue, or leg to stand...

    Oil analysis as a predictor for cam phaser/timing chain/cam/follower issues?

    The last communication I had was the Friday b4 our 24 hour nearly foot of snow. They were planning to have the engine out, and fully disassembled by the following Friday. That would have been the 14th. I have zero desire to call. I think it's reasonable they likely did not work, that Monday or...

    Oil analysis as a predictor for cam phaser/timing chain/cam/follower issues?

    Are you trying to be funny? I can't see how that could be, I thought it was understood before going to neutral, or mashing clutch pedal to firewall (lever to handlebar on motorcycles) you throttle DOWN/OFF? Which would bring the engine rpm to idle almost immediately, then kill ignition. The...

    Oil analysis as a predictor for cam phaser/timing chain/cam/follower issues?

    I feel the same way, but I severely discounted the idea of the '18 being "all new", to me it never really looked much different than the '15-'17 models. As such, I figured having the second generation 3.5 Ecoboost in the '18 they would have engineered away the problems plaguing the 1st...

    Oil analysis as a predictor for cam phaser/timing chain/cam/follower issues?

    Yes but my Odyssey was keyless ignition. No key, push button start. Fairly sure it would let you push button, after it was running, if it was in neutral. Not sure if it would let you do it, if it was on the move though. EDIT...the Expedition transmission selector knob, might go to neutral while...

    Oil analysis as a predictor for cam phaser/timing chain/cam/follower issues?

    I'll have to confirm this with the Mini Cooper and Honda Accord we have, both are manual transmissions. I could swear the Odyssey I had which had keyless ignition, would allow killing ignition via button, IF in neutral or park.
