OK, I noticed the issues with the 2.7 engine failures in the 2.7 blown engine forum, and have been scratching my head over why this issue so far seems to be a 2.7 Bronco issue only. Is the Bronco version different than the seven other ford models that have this engine? The 2.7L Ecoboost engine is available in these Ford vehicles: Ford F-150, Ford Bronco, Ford Edge Sport, Ford Edge ST, Ford Fusion Sport, Lincoln MKX, Lincoln Continental, Lincoln Nautilus. Nary a comment online that I can find about engine failures among them that relate to cylinder 5's valve issue. I would expect at least some online content for failures associated with these builds.
So I am asking, did Ford redesign the successful 2.7L Ecoboost engine to eek out an additional 15 ft lbs of torque for the Bronco? It is possible I a haven't done a deep enough dive into the 2.7L to determine the latest spec, but below linked article references a different torque range for the 2.7 than Ford has disclosed for the Bronco. 400 vs 415 Ib-ft.

Torque, lb ft
350-400 lb-ft (475-542 Nm)/ 3,000-3,250
