Default Ford Testing Info for the Board

I have posted in the past on some of the forums about the testing we do on our engines.

One of the major tests is a 300 hour "FIE" test.

As it turns out, Ford, recently, decided to make some commercials highlighting the merits
of the 3.5L V6 Direct Injection Twin Turbocharged "ECO-BOOST" engine (which my Research and Advanced Engineering Team designed). They also got the guy from "Dirty Jobs" MIKE ROWE to narrate the videos.

If you can get past the advertising aspect of the videos, it will give the PY Board an idea of the types of testing that I do at work and also the capabilities of the new engine.

Even if one person, like Bob Dillon, (who bought some Ford stock cheap) can learn something about his "investment", maybe it is worth the typing.

Here is the link:

There are supposed to be several parts to the videos, (much like the "dirty Jobs" episodes.

The link will give you access to the Dyno testing and a second video will give you a "Dirty Jobs" type experience pulling some logs at a logging camp somewhere out west.

ps I am very proud of this engine. (:>). I know all of the guys in the video.
