Don't want any issues when I get this swapped over. What's the trick on setting the timing up on these? Bought a pin and bar tool off of Amazon that they said works. Wheel dollies are curved in the bottom so that'll be good for cradling the engine and transmission. I'll be using that to slide the old engine out after I lower it down since I don't have a engine table to roll under it.
Have wheel dollies I bought last fall from another project. Got the cherry picker from my buddy so saved $180 Harbor Freight. Screwed my whole weekend up as was planning on swapping it this weekend. I think it was the latter though based on the pics I took and saw when I drained the engine oil.
#2010 FORD ESCAPE CRACKED#
Told them the engine in the car went bad because of either he cracked the oil pan and water got in or threw a rod. Told me this Fri afternoon when I picked the engine up. Salvage yard broke the oil pan and assumed I'd switch the old over. Engine that went south had roughly 77k miles if I recollect properly. He knows he's getting a used engine so basically other than what get for warranty from salvage yard that's his warranty. Quoted him $2k awhile back and I guess his dealership buddy quoted him $3500. I've did Key work on this and a few other of his vehicles so he's a regular. He wants to replace the engine now with a used one Well the guy finally after not having the car since over the Xmas holidays if I recollect properly on the time frame finally decided to call me back.

IF anyone has any pointers in regards to how I should pull it the best way please by all means comment as like I said I generally don't lean towards this type of engine work or brands either but it came along as the result of a key job because I noticed something so he asked that I do it.įor getting my feet off the ground starting out every penny counts. I get my used engines from a yard that'll give a 199 day warranty less labor though but that's better than most places around here for at least 300 miles which give you the "Curbside Warranty"
#2010 FORD ESCAPE PLUS#
For $1300 plus parts, materials, etc that's not to bad a deal. Labor, I went on book time 16-18 hrs shopkey called for. Normally I avoid engine swaps but the money was good, I can do it on my schedule where if I have other stuff business related to key cutting, immobilizer, diagnostic or programming work I like to lean more heavily towards I can come and go as the guy was just thrilled to not have to tow it and incur more fees. I don't know if this engine would come out the top or not as I saw a 2003 where a guy did it on YouTube and installed a Taurus engine so he had to swap alot of components over. Reading about it in shopkey it said something about the crankshaft metal having a diamond or some type of coating which allows the dampner to grip when bolted and torqued on properly? Thu is what I was told from the family friend as they at their salvage yard have had more than a few people ruin engines by just "doing it their way" which to me is preventable as rookie as it sounds but just use the service information that's there in shopkey which was where I found out about it after hearing about it from him.
#2010 FORD ESCAPE INSTALL#
Did some digging and the best I could find is that the crankshaft don't have a keyway so you have to set the timing before removal, use a bar that you can install before removing the pulley / dampener? Should I drop everything from underneath? Pull just the engine from up above?Īlso had a family friend who's the 2nd in command CEO who told me not to remove the crankshaft dampener pulley. This isn't the hybrid either, rather the VIN# 7 for the 8th digit. Regarding the vehicle what's the best way to remove the 2.5L Engine. It's in a garage of the owner so not a winter job I really will pass on as being mobile it beats -15, -20 temps outside so I'll just take my propane heater & propane tank over and help keep the garage a little warmer.
Searched but really couldn't find any swap videos on them for pointers as I'm generally not one to mess with Ford's much but there's always the first time. Whenever the guy gets his money together I'llbbeed doing a engine swap for him on a 2010 Ford Escape.
