Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I'm in a bit of trouble, I'm currently having engine issues and according to one dealer, I need a new engine. That dealer said they wouldn't do it due to my modifications and tune(FBO). I wondered if anyone knew of any dealers in central Florida that look the other way for modified/tuned vehicles.
For some background, I just had my engine replaced 4 months ago for a crank sprocket and cam tensioner issue, as well as a cracked block. At that time there were no modifications or tune on the vehicle. Now my cam tensioners are pretty audible again and I have a constant CEL showing codes of misfiring. I took it back to the dealer that had previously replaced the engine and the tech stated that it was the same issue as last which I'm assuming was not tune-related. He said it was mostly like related to the clutch and shifting at "high RPMS". But they don't want to do the repair for fear that ford will send a tech down to inspect the vehicle, wondering why the exact vehicle needs a new engine in just 4 months. They don't want them to see them doing a warranty repair on a FBO and tuned vehicle and the dealership takes the hit for it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
