I hate Ford Ecoboost with all of my soul. I drive a Focus Ecoboost with a fucking rubber timing belt running inside the oil, no way to check it but Ford says it should last 10 years or 240.000 km. Well.. mine lasted for 7 years and 117.000 km and with it slowly crumbling and destroying the engine.
My 94 ranger had 230k on it on the original belt. Looked about like this too, sold the truck in 2018, still had the original belt on it.
My 1.0 eco boost is on its third engine at only 80k due to Ford’s brilliant oil soaked timing belt time bomb
My rangers belt was identical to this when I bought it at 210
Sold my 87 F150 Lariat, normal cab, 8 foot bed, 302 2 wheel drive, it had over 450,000 miles, sold it to a drummer, then he sold it to a pest exterminator company! Had 3 different radiators and 3 different alternators, timing belt replaced, otherwise pretty trouble free!
Pretty much all the newer Ford 4 and 3 cyl crap-box engines have what's called a wet belt for the timing. It's inside the engine as opposed to external like any sane normal or any moderately intelligent person would engineer.
Because of this, they require a VERY specific grade of oil, usually 0w-20 or 5w-20 full synthetic. If the wrong oil is used the belt will start to degrade and shred itself, this then starts plugging the oil pump pickup with rubber debris and starves the engine for oil. Or it just outright shreds and snaps, like yours did.
My Ecoboost is supposed to have a belt replacement at 150000 miles or 10 years. I cannot fathom how it is supposed to hold up that long.
