2007 FEH blown engine.
My engine blew in my 2007 FEH, has anyone replaced theirs? I intend to purchase one on ebay.
Thank you. |

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. |

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.) |

Rebuild-able? Thrown rod?

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. |

Dennis, glad you got it repaired.
How many miles were on the original engine when it failed? |

How many miles were on the original engine when it failed? 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! |

I replaced the engine myself in my garage, I bought a used long block.

This about the third or fourth mentioned in this forum and the owner always gets blamed.
Here's two that I found. https://www.greenhybrid.com/forums/f...rebuild-25069/ 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. https://www.greenhybrid.com/forums/f...0-miles-22393/ |
