In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the Ford 2.0 EcoBoost engine, detailing its inline-four turbocharged direct injected design and evolution from the first to the second generation. The engine upgrades include features like a twin-scroll turbocharger, higher compression ratio, and improvements for reliability and power output ranging from 160 to 252 horsepower and up to 280 pound-feet of torque. The engine is commonly found in Ford and Lincoln models, including the Ford Maverick pickup truck. Common issues discussed in this part of the video include a cracked or leaking exhaust manifold, which may lead to ticking sounds and emissions concerns but is manageable with timely replacement. Another common problem mentioned is boost solenoid failures, which can be fixed for a few hundred dollars. These issues are considered minor in the context of the overall performance of the 2.0 EcoBoost engine.

In this segment, the video discusses carbon buildup issues in 2.0L EcoBoost engines due to direct injection. Oil blowby can cause deposits on intake valves, leading to reduced power and drivability issues over time. While carbon buildup doesn’t affect reliability, it can cause rough idle or hesitation during acceleration. Recommends cleaning intake valves every 100,000 miles to maintain performance. Additionally, the video highlights coolant intrusion into cylinders as a significant problem in 2.0L EcoBoost engines, primarily affecting certain Ford models from 2015-2019 due to the open deck block design.

In this segment, it is explained how coolant entering the cylinders due to block cracking or improper sealing can lead to serious engine damage and the need for complete engine replacement. Symptoms include misfires, check engine light, white smoke from exhaust, milky oil during oil changes. The issue was addressed by Ford in 2020 by redesigning coolant passages and strengthening areas between cylinders. This mainly affected certain models like the Ford Escape, Edge, and Lincoln MKC and MKZ. The solution for this issue is a complete replacement of the long block. It is important to be aware of this problem when considering these models.
