ENGINE MURDER MYSTERY! Ford 2.0L Ecoboost Goes BOOM And I Can't Figure Out Why? (I'm Stumped!)

For parts go to www.Importapart.com or email us at [email protected].
Every week I release a new video tearing down a blown up, core, or thought to be bad engine. I don't always get details on why, what, miles, etc, but we always tear them down to try to figure those questions out.
Here are a few of my favorites!

Today's subject is a VERY destroyed Ford 2.0L Ecoboost from a 2014 Escape titanium with 164k miles. Its quite clear this engine needed replacement, with massive holes and damage throughout, but why did it fail the way it did?I've been doing this for quite some time and its rare that I run across an engine without a clear reason for failure. So why do you think this failed? What was the cause? Let me know in the comments!

Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart. Part of our model includes dismantling blown up, bad, and failed engines to salvage the good parts for resale. We do not rebuild or fix engines, merely supply parts to those that do.

I really hope you enjoyed this teardown. As always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!
