Oh, don't worry, there's been several GT350 owners who have had that experience as well.
Sounds similar to BMW S65 engine in E92 M3. Stock engines failing early, or not failing at all. In that case, it's my opinion that the rod bearing clearances were too tight, and the early engine failures were caused by tolerance stacking (all parts within tolerance spec, but a fatal combination when the tolerances all stacked towards the tighter clearances).
Agreed. So far the dealership seems very helpful and responsive, but many people in the community know my issues that I've had with this car. Hoping to get this new engine in it and get the car off my hands now.
Curious about this as well. Ford gave me a complimentary extended warranty when they replaced my transmission and now I've only got about 10k miles until 75k miles. If I can't get anything with the new engine, I'll probably take it up the street for a test drive and right back to the dealership for trade in. I've had more issues with my car than any other owner on the planet.
Very good to know. That just made my decision to get rid of this car much easier once I get it back. I currently have 10 documented warranty repairs, with this one being the 11th. Can't risk keeping this thing out of the warranty period. Should have been considered a lemon a long time ago.
Oh man, sorry that happened to your GT350, Alton. Here’s to a quick fix to your satisfaction and not taking a bath on the flipside..
