Ford 2.7 eco valve/ head work at 70k miles

[jwterry3]

Buddy is looking at a 2016 F150 with the 2.7 eco. Owner states he just got it back from a Ford dealer.....had a valve issue that caused some issues and the replaced valves/ did some head work. Dealer and seller states it’s common?

Seems to be a good deal in this market but I haven’t heard of these issues?... run?

10 second google search produced this.

The most common problem with 2.7 Ecoboosts: Valve guide defects (2016-2017 models) 2.7 Ecoboost engines built from April 2016 to January 2017 have a major defect with the cylinder head valve guides. This defect allows oil to leak into the combustion chamber and then burn off.Nov 4, 2020

Buckshot had a 17 through work that had top end rebuilt in the 60-70k range and then threw a rod no long after he got it back and had to have new engine put in.

My ‘19 has started to smoke at startup if it’s been sitting for a few days. 2.7 eco with 90k miles.

My ‘20 has been good, fortunately. At 70k. Think mine is the 3.5 tho

Valve work at 35k
Broke the cam at 44k

Started smoking again at 75k

But close enough

They are junk in my opinion.
