There were a lot of issues prior to the current version as far as shoddy engine assembly. My 3.2 made us stop talking and start gawking when we pulled the common rail pressure sender out, whoever fitted it originally dipped the end of the sensor in thread sealant and it was a real WTF? moment when we found it. It was over sealed to the point that the bottom half of the common rail was covered in jellified white goo, with the end of the sender fully blocked off. Who knows how the injectors didn't get blocked by it, although one was partially blocked... We were amazed it was still running to be fair!

I could go on for the next decade about ford and that sorry excuse of a V6 but we are here for the 4cyls

I’m ford falcon and F series truck through and through, but the only good “utes” they have ever made are scabbed off Mazda or designed under partnership with them and a few badges tossed on the front, and I’ll die on that hill !

Special exception be made for the P5AT, it’s a good motor that doesn’t get enough credit, same for the duratourq 2.2
