Keep you're suv and keep saving. Look privately and avoid dealers. You will want more with the Eco once it's learned. Mods are expensive and provide minimal gains unless you do multiple data logs and tune revisions, while breaking the law doing 100+ mph back to back runs once a week. Trust me on...
In all honesty, I don't see anyone buying it just yet, unless they are building a built block. I am excited looking at it, and it would have been a great addition to my build. However, my heart and ears are are with a 5.0 after riding in my cousins 5.0 A10 performance pack.
Price for the...
Yes, the amounts were getting sickening.
FBO with Nx2 and Methonal. Popped a head gasket and installed a new one with CA625+ headstuds. After a few tun revisions and battling a rough idle I bought a short block and built head with the vision of upgrading the injectors and HPFP. Then I was...
Built head (new came in yesterday) in the classified section from Tune plus. I am flexible on the price. Fully ported, cams. Springs and fire rings for additional combustion chambers sealing.
Good luck on you're journey. I threw in the towel after spending thousands and planing on spending...
"The One" Complete cylinder head from Tune+ with Piper camshafts. Everything brand new un-opened.
This is a spec'd package from Adam Brunson himself. Cams, springs and ported head with fire rings to seal the combustion chambers.

I used a ARP thread chaser, long Q tips, brake clean and an air compressor to clean out the head bolt bosses. I used plastic razor blades on the deck surface with Brake clean and lint free rags. DO NOT TORQUE DOWN THE HEAD STUDS INTO BLOCK. HAND TIGHT ONLY! Torque the nuts in stages following...
Keep us posted. I recently sold my car to prepare for a 5.0 in the future. Can get one now, but we will wait. My engine was running great and yes, the headstuds abd head gasket IS a great insurance policy.
Follow the service manual and use Ford sealants and gasket makers.
The part numbers are...
Stay around 400 hp 400 tq and you should be fine. If you want more power go big turbo to move the Power band up (torque curve).
I wasn't afraid.... something went lean and popped. Replaced the head gasket with studs and it cracked a ring land or something internal. Sprayed Methonal pushing...
Could have been a head gasket failure. Lots of information regarding ths issue.
SPEED3PERFORMANCE has information on the subject with a full bolt on 93 tuned ecoboom making 360 or so hp. Basically the cylinder pressure escapes into the cooling jacket and the pressure cracks or blows open the...
Is what it is I suppose. I am not going to tear it back dow. The engine is a running fine and not showing any symptoms.
BACK TO THE OP.
Sorry for the hijack and for any false information if posted.
I understand the cause for concern. Therefore I should probably remove the "Focus RS headgasket statement". The head gasket Purchased is indeed the new revised "factory head gasket for my engine. It just happens to share the same part number as the Focus. It seems to me that the Ford engineers...
Time will tell my friends. Time will tell....
Drove it all day, and seems fine to me. I am no engineer, but was told this gasket will work. I will say, it is working as of now, also I provided as much info as possible.
