I NEED YOUR HELP!

[Jancen]

The dealer i take my car to, refused to work on a timing chain noise in the motor, now it blew up and i refuse to give them business, Looking at motors for my 2010 Mks ecoboost... Found a 13 turbo motor... will it be the same? this is a big purchase with no refund available... Thanks in advance

It is reported that engines from 2013 up can be transplanted into the earlier cars, but many sensors from the 2010 will have to be swapped into the new engine.

Is the 13 motor from a MKS?
And is it complete with turbos and accessories, or a long or short block type of sale.

There should be a "no smoke, no noises" type of refund policy as a minimum. The seller may insist on being there for the start-up if distance is not an issue.

yes it is from a mks, is there a list of sensors that will need to be transplanted ? it is complete motor assembly turbos may or may not be included I have to call and check but they did not awnser last time I tried, there is a 6 month warranty but I still don't want to go through that because they are out of texas and Im in buffalo ny

Yes a 2013+ engine will fit. A few sensors will need to be swapped over, plus a couple of minor mounting/clearance type issues will happen. There is a post by RandR10 that lays out the details.

If you do not feel comfortable with the seller, do not buy.
