  1. Eliminating cam phaser rattle after cold start

    I am no longer a bronco ownerā€¦ā€¦this is true. I bought new and had it for just more than a year. The cam phasers worked perfectly after a splash of nano lubricant. No worries thereā€¦..zero. By far the most fun vehicle to drive i have owned. That said, the hardtop was starting to develop...
  2. Eliminating cam phaser rattle after cold start

    If anyone is interested in continuing the experiment with the 2.7 belt soaking in in a 50/50 mix of motor oil and fr3 nano lubricant let me know where to send it. While I have moved on to another vehicle, I do believe the findings could be interesting. So far the special brew/belt is holding...

  5. Eliminating cam phaser rattle after cold start

    To the other posterā€¦ā€¦.ford service says that running the engine without lubrication in the in the cam phaser assy during cold start does not harm anything and to go ahead and drive it.

  6. Eliminating cam phaser rattle after cold start

    I put roughly a 50% mix. Iā€™m also going to add some blow by out of the catch can and cycle it up to 185 degrees. The only thing I canā€™t simulate is belt tension. That said, it should still be an interesting test.
  7. Eliminating cam phaser rattle after cold start

    I was able to put my hands on a new Ford oil sump belt. This is the 70k mile belt everyone seems to be worried about with regard to durability and use with nano lubricants to solve the cam phaser issues. Iā€™ll be watching to see if any issues come up. My cam phasers are still quiet. Next oil...

    Good luck with engine removal. Iā€™ve got mine perfect so i guess that leaves me to be the test monkey to see if i can wear out the belt in the sump.

  11. Ford Performance Tune for WT or should I pass?

    There is plenty of info on this site to make an informed decision. My automatic/2.7 loves the tune. I like the new normal mode more so than the new sport mode. But then iā€™m old and appreciate different things for different reasons.
  12. Items missing after repairs???

  13. Cam phaser failure using Motorcraft synthetic blend oil

    The phaser assemblies just need a 4 oz splash of nano lubricant with each oil change. Synthetic or oil blend doesnā€™t matter.

    ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.I find the freedom of taking my Bronco out for even a short drive lets me relax and enjoy myself instead of thinking about the things I want to forget. Thanks for the post.
  15. Capable Bumper Weight?

    Nicely done. Will the winch interfere with the front sensor or will that be an issue to overcome?
