I've been tearing down engines on camera for 2 and a half years! Search my channel to see what I've torn down.
Today I tear down a 2.0L Ecoboost from a 2015 Focus ST. This is the same 2.0L Found in the Fusion, Edge, Explorer Etc. I found this engine in the core area of a local salvage yard with some other cores I bought. During the teardown, I discover heat tabs placed on the engine. Heat tabs are glued to an engine by salvage yards and rebuilders. If the engine reaches a certain temperature, character of an overheat condition, the center will melt out. The existence of these tabs mean that this engine wasn't a core, but a sold engine that was returned. Why was it returned? We tear the entire thing down to find out.

Why on Mercury am I doing these teardowns? I own and run a full service auto salvage business in the Saint Louis area called Importapart. Part of our model is buying blown, core and unwanted engines and dismantling them to resell the good, usable parts. We do not rebuild engines, we merely supply parts to those who do.

I really hope you enjoyed this teardown. As always, I love all of the comments, feedback, and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!
