Note to Ford.
JUST STOP IT. QUIT USING THAT STUPID BELT TO DRIVE OIL PUMPS.
Every other part of the motor looks just fine, other than the oil-starved bearings, but come on. Not even 100k on the motor and that oil pump belt should already be replaced.
If the wife gets a Bronco, it will be a 2.3, even with the stupidity that is a non-keyed crank pulley.
I even looked up the 2024 parts, yep, still a belt. I don't even mind the plastic oil pan.
That bottom end though. Looks like they started building a diesel and then decided to switch over to gas.
