The first I’ve heard about this, but the 2.7 has been around for quite some time and by all accounts a reliable motor, so that would be surprising.

ffdemoss Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Over 25 documented cases. Seems to be in the valve train, with possibility of a keeper or stem failing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Sounds like a bad batch of motors, as I haven’t heard of any major changes to this motor within the last few years, that would have resulted in some new components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffdemoss Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Based on some research of others on the board it appears some of the valvetrain components and oil pan are specifically different than the F150 2.7L. I have not independently verified that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcartwright99 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 In comparison to how many of these engines they make, I'd guess that this falls well under 1% failure rate. I think it's the hyperbole associated with BG6 that this has gotten legs. I hear it's a valve issue. Maybe a bad batch came out? Ford obviously is aware of these and until we get a TSB or recall, we'll have no idea how many engines are effected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a 2.7L Bronco owner, it be nice to know if I'm on borrowed time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
