I agree 100%
"I don’t believe in pussy footing break ins. I don’t abuse my cars but I do drive them and I pull red line pulls once the engine oil and coolant temps are at max operating temps."
This is very important
"I keep the factory oil in for 200 miles, drain and change oil and filter."...
Your right, I am not mad that my engine was replaced, I look at it as the nature of the beast,
and possibly some of the issue is due to user error in not breaking in the engine properly.
i.e. the dealer letting a brand new car idle for over an hour and me babying the car for 500+ miles
an I'll...
Interesting that these two GT350R pictures have the same acuators with the xxxxxxxxx
Something else intereting,
in the second picture the top (intake) acutator number is GR3E-6C524-BA and the bottom (exhaust) is GR3E-6C525-BA
I cant find the GR3E-6C524-BA anywhere
I found these parts on Ford...
If thats the case, then why would the Dealer Order a GT350 Motor for my 2017 GT350 and they ship a GT350R Motor?
I spoke with the Mechanic today on what sensor that he had to replace, I heard him wrong, what Ford told him to replace was the Oil Pressure Sensor Pig tail, there is a difference...
Maybe I am not using the right term for the information on the Engine Tag.
I was told that the code "HA 555 AA" was the build process date and the 555 = GT350R and the GT350 = 557
and these numbers are the code to enter into the PCM for emissions. the AA is the Version or revision level
That...
Do we actually have a picture of a GT350R phaser? the one from the artical may not be an "R" engine we don't know. Like Dominator961 said, "fake news"
What are the part numbers for the two motors?
The Engine ID Tags only show build date (intended as a serial number), Plant code, and the...
I would like to add to what Dominator961 said, Do net let the engine sit at a an RPM long, very it up and down
no cruise control, no long idle. one guy on facebook said he accelerated up to 80 in 3rd then dropped back to 60
and he did that over and over again, seating the rings requires both...
I don't know really, I found this item
under the usages: 07/13/2015 - 08/12/2019, Mustang, MOD 5.2L-TIVCT PFI NA HP1 GAS
There are 45 parts that the two cars do not share, none of them are engine parts.
I did find a difference I want now.
Shield - Splash Part #: 2K005 Front Brake Discs and...
I think you hit the Nail on the Head..
I was able to enlarge the Magazine image
The two part numbers that show up
FR3E-6C524-CB This one is printed over XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
GR3E-6C524-BA
Looks Like Ford Racing provided parts with their part number
Pure speculation on the Authors part.
The Line on the bottom of the label:
EF0AA 18066220014
Break it down
we know EF0AA is the Romeo Plant code
18 066 220 014
18 = the Year
066 = the first 66 days in the year March 7th
220 = Niche Line code or department code, unsure though, waiting to hear back, but all labels have...
if anyone thinks that there are differences between the two engines, find part numbers for the different parts and post them.
I can tell you that yesterday I thought that the "R" motors were different, today I can say now I do not believe this.
I have been collecting Engine Identification Tag...
yes I know, but ford wanted for them to check something in there, not sure what, also pull the intake manifold, looking for oil somehwere i guess.
But as soon as the tech sent ford the Bore scope pictures, they came back with the engine approval in 15 min.
From what I can gather, there are no Differences between the two engines,
the Valve covers are the same, I cant find different part numbers for internals. the only difference is the Engine identification Label.
I have been collecting data on this and check this thread on the information I...
your Label decoded
