Do you have to so this with each tank of gas/e85 before going WOT with a flex tune? How long does it typically take to settle?

I noticed that too. Not sure, I didn't see it in person. Ford said it cracked and bonded itself to the crank.

Here is a picture if my stock crank sprocket. Stock 2020 car.

Thanks and it was ferrous.

Got my car back today. The service writer said another one came in earlier this week with the same problem as mine but worse. Check your oil!

No unfortunately

Well, I beg to differ 🤣

FYI, before my engine had been looked at, I contacted Ford Performance and they don't make a forged crank sprocket for gen 3s.

The sprocket lost a tooth as suspected. It also split and bonded itself to the crank. It's at least getting a new short block right now. Here is a picture.

I have the active exhaust and a MRT h pipe. Zero loss in OEM exhaust modes. Those that have must have had a bad installer that broke something.

I too have the Ford Performance oil separator. I am actually surprised at how much oil mine catches. Something definitely doesn't sound right with yours. As far as contacting Ford Performance, I've used chat on their website and they were extremely responsive and helpful.

I'll ask the dealer about this. I looked on Ford Performance also but I didn't see this because I was filtered to 2020.

My car is at the dealership right now because a sprocket tooth dropped out of my oil pan when I changed the oil. Bone stock car, never hit the limiter, 2020 with 10k miles on it.

Ford has the car. They are disassembling to find the cause now(covered by warranty). They suspect the crank sprocket. I asked them to keep the broken piece(s) that they find so I can see them and I'll post them here if others are curious. I have to say, they've been really awesome so far. No...

Car drives and sounds fine. I'll be taking it in this week.

Yep, bone stock. I don't even drive it that hard.

It's a 2020 that I bought brand new in 6/20.

That's exactly why I do it in my driveway with this...

True. One of the benefits of doing you own maintenance. Guaranteed I would have no idea if I wasn't the one who changed the oil. Now, hopefully Ford won't give me any issues on the warranty. I've read some horror stories about them! I'll update the post with how that plays out.

I am 99.9% sure this is a tooth broken off the crank sprocket or cam phaser. Someone on FB knew because he had seen it first hand and showed me pictures. I'll attach the pictures he sent me. They exactly match the piece I found. Off to the dealer next week, car only has 10000 miles on it 😞
