Any one else notice that after the engine is replaced the engine builder name is the same? Do they use the same intake manifold from the original engine or is it a coincident??

Likely a loose connection.

I tried watching a coupe videos and this is a sad way of trying to get attention as a middle aged man.
I noticed last night he posted a video titled "I am DONE with Youtube".

Has anyone been able to get a loaner car and/or payment modifications from Ford if there car was down for a length of time?
I'm currently driving the loaner car (Ford Fusion), and have had it for about 10 days now. My service advisor said that I won't pay anything besides filling her up since my car is under warranty.

My service advisor told me a few days ago that Ford has given the "green light" for my new long block, but I haven't received any confirmation on when the new engine is to arrive. Ford did an oil consumption test, in approximately 550 miles my engine consumed 2 quarts of oil. Apparently there was an issue with cylinder #3. Build date is May 2017.

Interesting comments. When my engine blew they called Ford on an Monday, engine arrived Wednesday and car was complete that Friday. Entire process was only 1 week. Kudos to my dealer or maybe just good timing. This was a few weeks ago when it happened.

It’d be interesting to see if your block is of the “new engine” line or the old.
