2013-2016 Ford Explorer, Taurus and Lincoln MKT, MKS 3.7L Remanufactured Engine

Description

Command 305 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of dyno-verified continuous torque while holding engine coolant temperatures below 205°F across grueling high-speed commercial transport corridors using the Ford Lincoln Cyclone 3.7L Remanufactured Engine engineered for 2013 to 2016 Ford Explorer, Taurus, Lincoln MKT, and MKS commercial fleet platforms. This 24-valve DOHC Cyclone V6 platform with Ti-VCT restores responsive acceleration and quiet operation.

Cast from high-strength aluminum alloy with cast-in iron cylinder liners, this 60-degree V6 utilizes an aluminum lower crankcase bedplate that halts bottom-end deflection during high-RPM expressway transit. A micro-polished forged steel crankshaft turns within tri-metal bearings, linked to forged steel connecting rods and graphite-coated hypereutectic aluminum pistons. Cylinder decks receive an Ra 30 finish for MLS gasket sealing. Dry weight registers at 380 lbs with a 6.0-quart capacity aluminum oil pan.

Key Features of Ford Lincoln Cyclone 3.7L

Executive transport fleet directors buy Ford Lincoln Cyclone 3.7L remanufactured engine packages to keep corporate luxury crossovers and executive sedans operating on strict schedules. Every remanufactured long block undergoes vacuum decay testing to guarantee total fluid circuit separation before crate departure.

• Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing phasers optimize intake and exhaust valve timing under load
• Dual overhead camshafts actuate twenty-four valves through low-friction direct-acting mechanical bucket tappets
• 0.0011 to 0.0018 inch main bearing clearances maintain solid hydrodynamic lubrication film strength
• Multi-layer steel cylinder head gaskets maintain combustion seals across extreme summer transit heat
• High-flow internal trochoid oil pumps channel pressurized lubricant to overhead camshaft journals
• Induction-hardened valve seats prevent valve face recession during sustained highway cruise operations
• Precision rotating package balancing protects Ford Lincoln Cyclone 3.7L driveline parts from vibration

Cyclone 3.7L Late Operational Limits

Operating lubricant pressure produces 18 to 22 PSI during warm idle and expands to 50 through 65 PSI at 2600 RPM cruise speeds. Internal coolant temperatures stabilize between 190°F and 205°F using factory thermostat ratings. This 3.7-liter Cyclone V6 generates 305 horsepower at 6500 RPM and 280 lb-ft continuous torque at 4000 RPM with a 10.5:1 compression ratio. Cylinder cranking pressure measures between 170 and 185 PSI across all six chambers. The cooling system rejects 3200 BTU per minute during full-throttle highway transit.

Cyclone Transaxle Crankshaft Alignment Thresholds

A 6-bolt rear crankshaft flange mounts flush to factory 6F50 or 6F55 automatic transaxle flexplates. Measured crankshaft thrust endplay checks out between 0.0030 and 0.0070 inches. The 1.102-inch front crankshaft snout features a single keyway to position the timing chain drive gear and harmonic balancer, holding true serpentine accessory belt pulley alignment.

Cyclone Fleet Lubricant Servicing Protocols

Technicians must prime the engine oil pump prior to first startup by cranking the starter without ignition until oil pressure warning lamps extinguish. Fill the crankcase with 5W-20 motor oil meeting Ford WSS specifications. This production engine is not engineered for turbocharging conversions, nitrous injection, or competitive track racing.

• Check crankcase oil level and coolant tank fluid volume each shift before driving
• Drain break-in motor oil and install fresh oil filter after 500 initial miles
• Perform routine oil and filter changes every 4000 miles during commercial transit cycles

Cyclone Commercial Warranty Freight Manifest

Commercial fleet purchasers receive a 3-Year / 100,000-Mile commercial fleet warranty covering structural casting and internal moving components. The heavy-duty wood crate contains one remanufactured long block engine, a complete engine install gasket set, spark plug well seals, front timing cover seals, dyno test documentation, and priming instructions.
