I wonder....with 'electric' taking up ALL the oxygen in the room, if Ford hasn't just started mailing in in with ICEI’ve lost count of how many 2.7 dropped valve issues I’ve seen. Way too many.

I've put 250K on my last two 2.7L and have 32K on my 2020. only issue is I get an occasional puff of smoke on the initial start in the morning all three have done it. Not sure what the issue is, my driveway is a slight incline and I think that has something to do with it. If I back in it wont smoke.If it’s any consolation to everyone that ordered a bronco with the 2.7, I have the 2.7 in my 2015 f150 with about 62k miles and I have had no problems with it. I had to use the pandemic as reasoning but being a ford service tech and some of the stuff I’ve seen lately it is entirely possible there could have been a few engines that may have been overlooked or rushed due to to staff shortage. And ford currently has a policy called low time in service, that’s why these engines are being replaced instead of people like me having to tear into them, find the causal part and rebuilt them. The idea behind it is 1) you bought a new vehicle and deserve a new engine, 2) it’s usually the quickest way to get your vehicle back to you. Hopefully you get your bronco back soon
The 2.7 has a revered past; I guess the question is: are 2.7's made today the same quality. I Ford is planning to go all electric, would they maintain the plant, tooling, QC, & staff to the same standard they did a decade ago?I've put 250K on my last two 2.7L and have 32K on my 2020
We can hope but I went 2.3L 7sp on mine.The 2.7 has a revered past; I guess the question is: are 2.7's made today the same quality. I Ford is planning to go all electric, would they maintain the plant, tooling, QC, & staff to the same standard they did a decade ago?
But it's a secret and they haven't notified anyone about the possibility that their Bronco could be sitting on Dirt Mountain awaiting an engine swap, or worse, that they are potentially driving a dangerous vehicle that could fail catastrophically without warning?Its was a bad batch of valves from the vendor is why all the failures. Ford has narrow the window on the engines that could be affected
How do I go about investigating whether MY 2.7 is a ticking time bomb?Ford has narrow the window on the engines that could be affected
what’s your source? Hopefully it’s accurate… I have a build date next month with the 2.7.Its was a bad batch of valves from the vendor is why all the failures. Ford has narrow the window on the engines that could be affected

Honestly, Ford should be communicating that to us. I shouldn't have to hack the system just to get this information. FFS - I can't even get Ford to email me back. I got one email back and a tour on the telephone support circle jerk. This is not hard @Ford Motor Company!Call dealer and find out the birth history on ur engine and heads if the valves were out of a april batch could be they are brittle. Every piece in ur engine has a birth history
