90%......how could you possibly know this when the motors cannot be opened up and are sent back to ford?Yes, unnecessary. As mentioned earlier, if the cause of the oil usage was known, be it a valve seal for example, the engine is not blown, nor needing to be replaced... a part within the engine has to be replaced yes.
Blown = unrepairable/catastrophic/major internal damage. At least 90% of the cases here are instances where parts could have been replaced instead of the entire engine, if Ford were only to let the dealer examine the actual cause.
Who gives a damn what word is used? Blown engine, oil consumption, insert anything else you want. Engines using oil to the point that ford replaces them are clearly no good. For the poor bastard that is without a car while it’s at the dealer getting a replacement, it might as well have sent a rod through the block. The outcome is the same.I completely agree with you, and it is a shame it is being handled the way it is. That being said, from a technical perspective, the "Blown engine disaster" that so many have become enamored and paranoid with, is... BLOWN... way out of proportion and does not reflect the actual number of engines that experienced catastrophic failure.
