I have a ford f150 5.4 2005 and engine went out. Cost to repair idea? Photos are included?
So i was told by a mechanic that my 2nd pistion broke and i needed a whole engine swap. I pulled the engine out and found just what you see broken. No other metals were found down in the oil pan. I think there's maybe a piece of rod in the piston area. Any idea what it may cost to repair? If it helps i live in central california 
I paid $4500 for a rebuilt engine about 2 years ago in Florida.

Looks like you dropped a valve into the cylinder. It may have broken the piston and it may have broken the head. Before I gave up here I would pull the head off and take a look. I doubt if you have 'a piece of rod in the piston area'.
Likely that is where the valve is, but it is unknown how much damage it did. If you are very lucky you may not need much more than to replace that valve. Most likely you will need to replace the valve and the piston, maybe the head. In the worst, you would need a new block. You then might consider a replacement engine.
- What engine type does the 2005 Mercury Monterey (Ford) van have? Is it a Nissan engine? Looking to buy a 2005 Mercury Monterey Van. I was told it has a Nissan engine by a friend. However, I can't find anything stating that. Also, what are they known for, as far as, issues/problems? I want to know what I getting into? Any other information including what I'm seeking appreciated.
- Typical lib thinking? Ford had no idea when it happened, had no idea how she got there, no idea how she left, clueless who was there? And despite that every person she listed as a witness made a statement in a sense said Ford was wrong… The lib brain… Get even at Trump…> yep - Kavanaugh did it.

- I have a ford mondeo that had broken down. I called AA and they ran it through their computer and it said fuel sensor problem. I went to a? Garage and they replaced the fuel sensor. I drove up the street and the car broke down again. Plugged it in at the garage and it said fuel sensor fault. The garage then took that fuel sensor out and put it back in the car it was from and it was working. What could be the problem?
