Dealership called today. Ford authorized a new motor. Said it maybe a week or two to come and and a week to install. Good job too, because I burnt through another quart in 200 miles this weekend.
A week to install? Mine took a day to pull old engine and install new engine. They then kept it for a second day to test it and check for leaks etc.
It’s okay, I don’t mind waiting the extra time. It’s their loaner and to be honest I’m usually out of town during the week anyways. These guys have done two other replacement motors already.
Do you know it they did a leak down test and/or borescope? Be interested in knowing which cylinders failed.
They haven’t done either yet. I’m assuming maybe they will do something when replacing the engine, although I’m not sure. All they did was oil consumption test. Basically top it off to twelve quarts and come back in a thousand miles to have it checked. I came back early as it was burning that much. I had it topped off on Friday and just checked it last night and I’m down a quart after driving 200 miles on sat and Sunday.
meant ten.. my bad
