I’m tackling this job tomorrow with new plugs at 103k miles. Seems like a good idea. Can’t hurt. I grew up on the VW scare, so hpfp cam bucket for $25 is cheap and easy. If it’s worn? Great! If no detectable wear we know these engines are better than we thought. Needs new plugs so here we go.
I've heard that when you increase the output in power it can cause premature wear to this part as the fueling is increased to cope with the extra demands from the engine. But also on the opposite side of the coin some state that extra maintenance with oil changes than normal will help reduce the wear . I have the parts ready for in the future incase I need to change if i suspect any issues.
Yeah... I talk about this a bit more in my next video. No facts per say but logical conclusions.... Some tuning companies run alot more fuel in there maps compared to others. Wonder if that's to do with premature wear or not 🤷♂️
I also purchased the fuel pump o ring for extra peace of mind as when the pump is removed it's best practice to replace the o ring seal as the pump is out already .
Bit late to the party on this one, I had my map done at DDG on the Dyno with a person v1, he was struggling all day with fuel duty cycles, as soon as he realised my 31k st180 hadn’t had a cam bucket done, he immediately replaced and gained a much smoother control of duty cycle to finish off the map To me that’s enough proof that the component is a wear part that should be replaced, it’s in expensive anyway
If your car is stock i dont see it wearing out anytime under 100k miles if youre tuned especially bigger turbo or ethanol mixtures that i would check it after a while more fuel more wear
In the name of engineering there’s no way that will make a difference, I would of just stuck it back in and sent the new one back😋 thanks for the video though🤟
Many cases where tuners were having issues with fuel trims and replacing this part fixed that issue I see it affecting tuned vehicles where more fuel is required or cars with high mileage
Where does this myth come from that you have to change the tap (Seriously, any source)? The Ecoboost engine is neigh on bullitt proof; that includes the direct injection system. But thanks for the vid
