You can add to that list cars I’ve owned with engine issues:
E46 M3- Rod bearings
991.1 GT3- Oiling issues, rod bearings, finger followers
High revving motors run closer to the ragged edge and have less tolerance for error in design and manufacturing. The two I listed above were supposedly manufacturing / supplier issues. Time has proven that to be true for the E46 for the most part, but the GT3 had a bunch of engineering updates later on with new rev motors.
It’s a pay to play, race motor for the street game and nobody is immune. Bottom line, you may get bit to enjoy these type of cars. I have owned a few and this is my first bite. Other than the inconvenience of it, with the way Ford has taken care of me I’m happy and have moved onto the enjoyment phase of my ownership with my ‘race’ motor.
