    Still, one doesn't expect to have to spend big $ what would you be looking at $ wise $10 - 15,000?

    So if the widget (I like that name) was accidentally pulled out and thrown out with the old oily filter, then someone not understanding how this is set up could refit a new filter with no bypass valve at all, meaning you would always get oil bypassing the filter.

    Something else Ford forgot to warn it’s customers when it wrote up the technical manual. Why do 2.7 cranks break?Why do 2.7 cranks break?
    That’s exactly what just happened to me and totally plausible a shop could bin it with filter. All’s that would happen is the oil would be bypassing the filter constantly.

    But obviously never happened previously because i personally check and getting the filter out is a fight I don’t enjoy.

    I’m pretty sure Nissen is the OEM oil cooler supplier and supplies the whole assembly.

    Why do 2.7 cranks break?

    Rova Range Automotive in Melbourne are now the importers for NWS Motor Services who supply reconditioned and remanufactured JLR engines.

    And keep this a secret (hate for them to sell out) but Jefferson Ford also sell brand new 2.7 tdci motors for $11,400. They are worth more than a Ford Territory….. Why do 2.7 cranks break?

    As we all know, Inc bought his Territory just so he has a spare motor for when he gets a real 4WD SUV. Why do 2.7 cranks break?

    Slightly off topic. This is for sale on gumtree. Claims to be from a 2010 2.7 TDV6 that failed at 240,000kms.
