Why Are Ford EcoBoost Exhaust Manifold Studs Breaking?

The 3.5L Ford EcoBoost Engine Has Been Growing in Popularity During the Past Ten Years.

Models of the Ford F-150, the top-selling truck in the United States for four decades, have been using the 3.5L EcoBoost since 2011 to provide power and improved fuel economy. In 2015, the Ford Transit van adopted the small but mighty motor. The key to providing the power of a 6.0L in an engine almost half the size is a high fuel pressure system and twin-turbo, which can pull in 25% more air than a naturally aspirated engine. The engine head is also made of aluminum which provides additional energy savings with lower weight and better heat dissipation which aluminum provides compared to cast iron heads.

What happens when you put this tiny monster under load though?

The twin turbos spin up to 170,000 rpm, creating an intense source of heat, nestled directly adjacent to the exhaust manifold, which is belting out extremely hot gas due to the high-pressure fuel system feeding into the other side of the system. After running under load on a regular basis, the cast metals under the hood have been exposed to extreme heating and cooling cycles. In the case of the Transit, problems can compound. Heat dissipation is reduced because of a more compact engine bay. Combine this with the Transit usually carrying a payload, and heat can lead to increased issues.

This Can Be Trouble For Two Reasons...
