I like this Engineering stuff. Its all about Metallurgy and Batches of Valves produced in a certain time line failing on the 2.7L Bronco.

It sounds like Ford test the batches of Valves and should have caught this. Hard to detect though.

The MI Wayne factory has way too much going on. Producing to many variations of the Bronco.

I wish the Ranger was optioned the way the ROW get's their trucks with packaged option. Then maybe you would not be waiting a more then normal time line to get your new truck on the road.

It could also have been a Heat Treating issue of the Valves.

Supposedly, the defect is in the metallurgy, where the valves become brittle due to heat in the valve chamber. Usually, something like a stem breaking or the valve dropping into the cylinder will cause catastrophic failure. Even the engine block can be damaged beyond repair

The engine is built in the Lima plant, Ohio and designed by a German company. Nothing to do with the Wayne plant being busy.
