where is your ID Label picture???
This is one reason why I started this thread, to collect data and to find out what the codes mean.
I have been able to ask a friend whos brother works at the Romeo plant.
He was able to assist me in finding out some of the information, Please See my original...
I talked to a Friend who's Brother works at Romeo Engine Plant. I asked about the Engine Identification Label and what the codes all mean.
Here is what he said.
The date is in the number below the barcode, is setup as YY Julian date (DDD), code 220 is not known and built on that day 001
the...
So far only differences between the GT350 and GT350R motors are Stock and Data Numbers as far as internals I can't find any information
stating this. The "R" is faster because of weight reduction.
Not according to this August 24 2018 FordNXT article

But I do agree that there may not be any difference in the two...
Go ahead and post this in the other thread, yes I am trying to find what all the data means as well as find out if there are really any differences between the two. My Gut says no, that this is just for data tracking info.
I would like to see some non R labels,
if there were any changed in...
Thats why I want to see these Engine ID Labels from both GT350R and GT350's
If the Engine ID Labels are Different then there must be some differences, or is it just for tracking
data?
Thats why I would like to see more labels.
The Engine that was installed in My 2017 GT350 is the KA 555 AA sticker
I assume "K" 2019? and A Month? January? since the motor was just installed last week
that would make sense right?
I wonder where the 151 code comes into play, or where is it located?
On the GT350 Supplement Video:
"A little something we learned during this process is that the R-model Voodoo engines receive unique lash adjusters, VCT mechanisms and cam covers, and these engines carry code 151."
On the...
Please post pictures of your Engine Identification Tag along with the year and type of GT350.

before Ford will replace a $30,000.00 motor they want the Dealer to do an Oil consumption test, they mark the dip stick, you have to drive 200 miles then go back
for them to check the oil level, then repeat. Next step is to do a Dye Leak test. if no leaks then they pull the valve covers and...
REP = Romeo Engine Plant
the tech told me that the motor is an GT350R motor and he had to replace some sensors with "R"
versions since the intake manifold is re-used
I could have mis-understood what he said.
How much of a problem is this?
I Just had my Engine Replaced due to Oil Consumption and the Part number is different.
My Car is a 2017 GT350 H6088
They installed a GT350R Motor
No I did not. I will check it out
EDIT: I do not have rights to edit, are you sure it's up to date, look like the last entry
was a while ago
GT350 Engine Failure / Oil consumption List
I took pictures of the Borescope images.
Remember this engine had 9500 miles on it.
I believe this is the Head, near a valves
Not sure but he was pointing out the metal chunks
Notice the oil pooling
This is the Cylinder wall

I got the Call today from the Dealer that my Voodoo Engine replacement is complete.
The need to Burp the engine coolant system and check for leaks.
I purchased the 2017 Ruby Red / Black Stripes Track Pack Shelby GT 350 off the Showroom floor on May 10th 2018
it had been sitting since October...
so why would the resale value take a hit? are the engines Serial numbered to the Car? if that's the case then ford should pay to restamp the number.
Ford will not buy back the car. unless the Lemon Law is used. that requires them to replace the engine times and it still did not fix the issue.
since the oil consumption was so high in the short amount of time (I could not add oil) and in 4 weeks the block would be dry since I go through a case of Motorcraft 5w-50 in a month
it would not be good.
