Re: 2007 FEH blown engine.
Can you give us some details about what happened to your engine? Just curious as an owner of a '07.
If you search for "blown engine" there are several threads to be found.

Delivered a 50cc dirt bike to a friend and on return trip home; cruise control at 65, engine started to knock, a long grade was approaching and engine had a great loss of power.
Red triangle popped on and gasoline engine shut itself down. I was able to drive EV. Pulled over, no codes found with scan gauge. Towed it home.
Not considering replacement engine, a friend wants $600 to change it.
Thanks. (Up until now my FEH ran the same everyday (AWD) 32-33 AVG MPG 24/7.)

I replaced the engine myself in my garage, I bought a used long block.
Removing all the hoses is time consuming, separating the engine from the transmission is pretty easy.
I removed my engine from the top, i had to cut into the intake manifold with a saw-zall, the new engine was slid sideways under the car on a creeper and lifting vertically into place with an engine crane.
The car now runs again without any errors and my gas milage is back to 30-32 all the time.
Upon inspection of the old motor, the thermostat was stuck open and it has spun a rod bearing on #1 cylinder.
If you have other questions please ask. Thank you.

The only issue I had with the the vehicle since 2007 was the front coolant pump and the battery fans, both of which I repaired a while back.
When the bearing spun I was going 65mph on cruise control, no lights, no oil light, it just lost a ton of power and the notable tick, tick, tick, tick.
New engine runs great!

This about the third or fourth mentioned in this forum and the owner always gets blamed.

The engine and CVT do not have to be removed together. I left my transfer case PTO and cvt in place. It slid off similar to a traditional transmission. The (one way clutch) just looks like a dampner with springs in it.
Thanks everyone.
