Made with luv! Engine built by two wonderful women!!

It's not going to be the builders fault. They only assemble the engine according to tolerances and specs including proper torquing. Everytime someone posts names on there engine plaque this subject comes up. It's going to be material failure not assembly failure. Geesh!

so, you’re saying the assemblers are free of error?

Hopefully one was not training the other j/k.
Sorry had to say it.
Very cool!

Makes me wonder if there is any correlation between reported engine failures and the team who built the failed engines.

Never ending story, here it goes again.....

I think he was being facetious. When I used to do my warranty analysis, it was required that I "root-cause" the error back to the work station, not an individual. As an engineer, that was part of my job. However, it would sometimes be drilled down to a single shift or operator (if the issues was egregious of often enough) and then the production supervisors would write up the individual, but it was never really a publicly known thing, it was kept internal to the department of the assembly plant.

It was very hard to get the union out of the way to punish individuals that were being intentionally lazy or stupid.

They do run the engines at least twice before they get to you. Once right after the engine is assembled at the Romeo Engine Plant, and once after it's been installed in the car. I imagine any egregious assembly problems would show themselves during those two tests. Most of the failures I've seen on this forum seem to be from material failure too.

Is there a lipstick print anywhere?

Thank you

Smh.

Materials fail... assemblers fail... but operator error is what usually lines up the holes in the Swiss cheese.

There’s a lotta operator error been witnessed with these engines, as well as the cats servicing these awesome cars. Talk about error there... ever seen a chin spoiler not installed right?..

Yea those chin spoilers are installed by some one in service department that in most instances have not even seen a GT350 in the service department before, just assuming they got it on right or don't really care as long as it looks right. Those engine assemblers only assemble that engine as there job. Yes there is always a chance that something wasn't assembled correctly. But as stated in above post engine is fired up both after assembly and after in car. Odds are extremely likely if something not assembled correctly that would cause the engine to fail one or the other fire up's. No comparison between chin spoiler install and engine builder for that engine only assembling it. Nice try though!

DrumReaper I think I owe you an apology. I believe I misread your post. Your are right, the guys servicing these cars have in several cases really screwed them up, oil filters not properly put on, not enough oil put in, as you said not putting chin spoiler on correctly.

We’re good man. I never took it in bad flavor.
