It is not a sport. It is an insatiable mistress who will bleed you of every penny and have you begging for more.

I know of a R that lost an engine at Road Atlanta and he is not a member here. Engine was replaced by Ford.

I posted the following before on this forum and Tob now confirms my suspicion on the alloy. Thanks Tob. Back in Feb, I spoke with some of the Ford Performance guys and asked about the GT350 connecting rods. They confirmed that they are NOT sintered carbon steel rods like the coyote. They are...

Sorry to hear about your problem. I bet it is the OPG. Hope Ford takes care of you quickly. Keep us updated.
