Ford Transit - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Transit MK 7 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Engine
Operation: Engine regeneration after piston seizure

If it happens that the engine stalls due to a piston seizure, it is necessary to regenerate the entire engine: this is an intervention that requires a lot of experience since the engine must be completely disassembled in all its parts and subsequently assembled after the appropriate rectification interventions; it will in fact be necessary to grind the cylinders to remove the scratches caused by seizure and, since everything is disassembled, it is advisable to have the cylinder head regenerated with valve seat grinding and relative replacement of the rubber pads and various oil seals. During the assembly phase, it is also suggested to replace the bushings, the piston rings, all the gaskets, the timing chain and, if necessary, also the clutch.
