Not my first Ford, it's my first SHO

[VladM]

People say I'm crazy, I don't know what I'm doing. But you know what? I bought it anyway!

2010 Ford Taurus SHO, I didn't dig into any details yet, I was just told it has some compression issues. Not driveable. Battery's dead. Sold AS IS. Couple days later, here we go, the engine is seized actually. Depends on the what's really wrong with it, I wanna bring it back to life. I'm Slovakian living the dream in Canada ,Alberta.

I hope you got it super cheap. Not sure what used engines go for these days. Good luck with this project!

Welcome and best of luck bringing it back to life

Thanks guys. I think I didn't overpay it that's for sure and it's gonna take some sweat but I can't wait.

Twin turbo starts at 3000+. Will see. According to carfax this car was serviced regularly at the local dealership. I dug deeper and one of the last service reports said something about low coolant, they topped it up and sent him away, 300km AND 1 year later the car was towed in and they found a mix of oil and coolant, (we all know why's that), engine seized, offered new engine... Long story short, I'll try to bring it back to life in another topic.

Look for a low mileage used engine on Www.car-part.com
