Engineers should have to spend time as mechanics before they design anything.
It wouldn’t change anything. Their priorities are basically
1. How does it go together on the assembly line?
2. Everything else.

The engineers don’t get to set the rules of the game, they just have to play by them.

My cousins Lincon Navigator required pulling the engine to change the water pump which Is internal now.
AFAIK, that’s only on the transverse-mounted EcoBoost 3.5, and it’s done for space reasons; the longitudinal EB35 in the trucks (including Navigator) uses a traditional external water pump. (FWIW, I looked up the water pump for a ‘24 Navigator, and it shows an external water pump.)

I don’t know what engine he has but was very disappointed in the fact the engine had to be removed.

I had the starter off of my 350" engine in my 1947 Dodge truck it took me 3 minutes and 31 seconds to have the new starter on, wired up and hook the battery back up, turn the key and make it start.


A friend timed me.
I thought it would take about 7 minutes.
You rich boys can have this new stuff.
