Hey seriously this has to be the best mechanic/mechanical channel I have seen on CZcams please keep making content your doing awesome man kudo's to you sir
I know of two Taurus sedans that engines were ruined by faulty water pumps. The seals failed and water flooded the lube system. Loss of coolant over heats engine and coolant saturates the lube oil. Water settling in the crankcase is pumped instead of oil.
I had to go to a neighbor of yours (who works on boat motors) to get the definition and explanation of a freeze plug. I’m not an engine mechanic or engineer but I’ve heard these terms like freeze plug all my life but never knew what they were.
Everybody calls them freeze plugs but they are actually just casting plugs. They don't really offer any freeze protection. They are simply used to fill in the holes that are left behind from the casting process.
It's a great engine, but this is the one flaw... The eco boost 3.5 has a belt driven pump, this internally driven one will leak coolent into your crankcase and make milkshakes😞

Never seen a 3.5 NA only the twin turbo
So if it’s leaking a lot from the weep hole, it means you need a water pump replacement?
Is this a 3.5 N/A on a F-150, if so what years?
So that means since mine's is leaking I have to change the water pump
Yes. It's a big job since it is driven off the timing chain. I think I have a how-to video covering the job on here somewhere.

I guess I have a big problem.
Cómo puedo solucionar ese problema
Pero k significa cuando tira agua x ay
Looks like an easy fix with some juicy fruit.
Not really, gotta remove the engine and timing cover and timing chain to change the pump
