stef123 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Iantt will know what the figures should be. by any chance has it suffered a burst degas hose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Ford does not specify the exact compression figures for this type of engine. Presumably because different brands/types of compression test gauges often give different figures. The Ford Etis workshop manual litterally says: " Carry out the measurement in accordance with the instructions supplied with the measuring device on every cylinder using a suitable compression pressure recorder with a suitable adapter. If all measurements appear equal across all cylinders, no fault can be suspected". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The time would be better put towards loosening the mounting bolts for the engine lol. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 nope, will have damaged bores, i take it you havent taken a head off an ecoboost 1.0 . not an easy job and lots of specialised tooling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy7770 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Time to drop the engine I think!! Thanks Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 If your removing engine, you can leave gearbox,driveshafts,suspension all in place. Unbolt from gearbox,slide off input shaft and out from above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy7770 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Quick update guys. Drained all the coolant dryed the plugs it started right up. The coolant in the cylinders is all the same level. Is the inlet Manifold water cooled?? Yours sincerely Steve Evans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The 1.0 ECOboost has a watercooled turbocharger and a watercooled exhaust manifold that is integrated into the cilinder head. I have seen before that a lack of coolant caused a turbocharger or cilinder head to crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy7770 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Thanks again guys anyone know if the inlet Manifold has any form of water cooling?? Thanks Steve Evans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
