• Description:

  This genuine Ford piston cooling nozzle, cataloged as a Valve Assembly, is the oil jet that threads into the engine block beneath each cylinder and sprays a targeted stream of engine oil onto the underside of the piston. That oil spray carries heat away from the piston crown and lubricates the wrist pin and cylinder wall, which is essential on the turbocharged, direct-injected 2.3L EcoBoost engine where combustion temperatures and cylinder pressures run high. Each nozzle contains a small pressure-actuated check valve that opens once oil pressure rises to the calibrated point, so the jets deliver cooling oil under load while preserving pressure at idle, and one nozzle serves each cylinder. It fits the 2.3L EcoBoost engine in 2015-2019 Ford Mustang, 2016-2019 Ford Explorer, 2016-2018 Ford Focus, 2019 Ford Ranger, and 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC. A failed, clogged, or leaking nozzle can lead to piston overheating, scuffing, detonation or knock under boost, and abnormal oil consumption or low oil pressure, so the jets are commonly replaced during a rebuild, after a failure that circulated debris through the oiling system, or whenever the block is apart. Install with clean oil passages, orient the nozzle so its spray targets the piston correctly, and torque the retaining fastener to Ford specification to avoid distorting or cracking the jet. Using the genuine Ford nozzle ensures the correct spray pattern, opening pressure, and fitment for reliable piston cooling.
