Just wanted to post an update on my engine, I got a used engine and did the timing work on an engine stand. I have a guy locally who is installing it for me and so far has done a great job! He drives an F150 with EB, and his wife has an explorer sport. he knows this engine pretty well, and has been a great help to me.
If anyone needs Ecoboost work, I would recommend John at Crowe Motors. They are in Mt Orab.
Looking forward to driving my car again!
