Not starting crap Tommy! You seem to be exactly like Dominator, in the fact you are another egotistical GT350R owner. Telling me to behave myself for making a comment lmfao! Who are you? I’ve never had a run in with the guy, but going through hundreds of threads i see the type of comments he makes on most of them. I called him out his B.S. on how he belittles numerous gt350 owners who post in this forum as well as other forum members who ask questions he considers “dumb”. This forum is meant for mustang enthusiasts and owners to communicate with one another in a friendly manner and to gain more knowledge on the car we all love. This community doesn’t need your entitled attitude that’s for sure. Call me the odd man out all you want, you’re opinion means jack sh** to me. But I and hundreds of other people see the bashing and the hatred on this forum, and finally admin is taking steps to prevent this. You’re little friend Dom was the guinea pig.

Not starting crap, lol. Sure you are. Listen to yourself. You are nothing but a troll.

You are hipocritical. Here you are spewing your own garbage just like the guy you condemn. Maybe you should have another drink or whatever it is you are doing.

You are worthy of the ignore button. Take care.

Sounds like the odd man out to me. So why are you hanging around the GT350 forum?

Is an invitation and tie required to be here?

Maybe y'all should just throw yer peckers on the table and see who can push the can farther.

Dominator got banned.

...for the third time, and to the surprise of no one here who recognized his posts as soon as he created his new screen name. Good riddance. (Until he comes up with a fourth screen name, at least. )

Good luck on this and looking forward to seeing you report back when possible.

Well I said I would not update, and for this to close, but it's still alive. As someone else stated, I guess people want to know.

So yesterday I was contacted by Ford. Ford informed me that they agreed to do a tear-down of the motor. I needed to go to the dealer and sign the form. If the engine shows that my headers and tune caused the issue, I had to pay for the tear-down and warranty on the engine replacement is null. If the tear-down shows that my header/ tune DID NOT cause the issue, and it's a problem with oil or other mechanical issues, then they would honor my warranty and replace the engine.

So I signed today. I also was able to see where the hole was. The hole in the block is underneath driver side, in front of the oil cartridge it seems. Hard to see the exact spot on the cell phone pic, but I will be allowed to see it in person. From the research it seems to be the same failure that someone with a R had when their oil pickup starved the engine. Even the tech admitted, (quietly) that no tune could do that type of damage. He thinks the rods let go due to oil starvation. I also spoke to Jon jr at length and gave him the entire breakdown. Interesting conversation, and I am glad I had it.

One other point that was made to me...very very very quietly is something I have been saying. It was reinforced to me today. Straight from the Horses mouth. (lol) no pun intended.

So stay tuned.

Not sure I've paid close enough attention to understand about the "one other point" but good luck and hope Ford finds their way to cover the damage. Who is doing the tear-down - the dealer or is the motor going back to Ford. Everyone keeps saying Ford will not authorize a dealer tear down??

No tear down for oil consumption

I contacted them to set this up and all but one said they would if we could find a wide enough table.

This should suffice

The rods are forged indeed (at least according to the 2019 supplement)

Your engine builder didn't tell you the GT350 has forged rods?

The worst is when people comment on something but really don't know or understand the topic fully.

He tells me they are “powder forged “

What was the failure on your FI car that required a rebuild?

Bent 3 rods .

That's exactly what they are - powdered metal pressed into a form.
