Squeaky wheel get the oil on longblock replacements, from Ford. Bk order wise.
It's who you squeak to that mattered for our circumstances.

Typical balance of being both polite, & raise a lil hit of Heck, to get moved up in line, with the folks who find a way to make it happen.

Seen them quote 6-8weeks delivery to dealer, & it became less than 14 days from start of it all to new long block arrival.
It happened for us once we got the people at Customer Care to push the right buttons. (They never told us they could, btw, so I was as shocked as dealershipwhen it showedup very early).

The dealership itself isn't (likely) going to push these
[get this person an eng asap]
buttons w/Ford, unless your a really special client or other rather unique circumstances. Examples: daddy/uncle own/or work at, the dealership, ect.

Pressuring the dealership has downsides, & you risk becoming that 'Ahole customer' nobody wants to help out behind your bk, while acting like they do to your face.

If you want to try to get expedited results, it will not easy, having gone thru this.
Pressing the dealership people, as opposed to talking to those at Ford CC, would be the very last resort based on our past experience. Or not at all.
Yes, the dealership can help, (if they rrally really wanted to). Yet, is it's really that beneficial for them to burn up a favor, w/there connections, when others are likely waiting for an engine as well?

Your success on this likely resuots in pushing someone else, who's been in line equal to or longer than you, back. They won't know it, but you will if you succeed.

We did accomplish this, thru the Ford folks on phone, several states away.
Not by the hand of the Service Department at the dealership.
I was a bit dumb founded that they (dealership) seemed fine waiting 6-8 weeks for a new long block replacement. This had us concerned about the probability of our car going outside for months, in the crummy weather part of the year. I was shocked it wasn't pushed outside for the time it took up space in a packed house. I don't know your circumstances surrounding the details.
This response we are giving you may not be very helpful to you, but I've now seen you post 2x about this, so I figured I'd share a bit of what got us results on a long wait, eng replacement schedule.

Again, for us it was pressure on the FoMoCo people, & not the dealership. If you have posted in detail your circumstances here on the site, than drop that link here & we will read thru it.

If your a person who values privacy, than don't post your situations details, & just try to use what we have posted here & see what you can do. I myself would not have told my entire experience here so I couldn't expect you to either.

It wasn't a pleasant experience for either party when we went thru this.

Truly appreciated your reply, some very valuable information.

I am definitely avoiding pushing the dealership for those reason mentioned above. We are about to experience good old fashion Canadian winter so I’ve come to terms that it will take some time. Fortunately the car is in my garage until it the engine shows up. I was assured it will be back for next season, and I’ll start leaning on Fordmoco in the new year. I just worry about quality coming out of Ford at this point. I don’t fault the builder on this one. This was a major component failure. One that seems to be documented in a lot of engines coming out of Ford. I’d honestly prefer to have one built using FFRE or RPG short block and upgrade the head components for peace of mind. I’m putting money aside for that now just incase it happens again when out of warranty. Hopefully the the part quality is improved and UAW workers are in a good mood when they build my new one so I won’t have to.

I will definitely post on my experience when it’s fulfilled/completed.

Damnit. And I’m waiting for a new engine. Wonder if I can convince Ford just to give me the money value and I’ll build my own

If I may ask, what broke?

Dropped a valve, from how it’s hanging inside looks like the valve spring broke.

Funny, an intake valve spring broke on cylinder #7 on mine. Then, we found a defect in the plasma arc welded liner in the same cylinder. I received a new long block.

With the UAW strike, the distribution centers are closed/will be closed. Your loss started the day it occurred. If you are financing the car, after 30 days, Ford will pick up your monthly payments until it is fixed.

Who is argue'n. You and a few others just don't like it when someone you "see" as not worthy, commenting in a thread.

Exhaust valve cylinder 5. Cylinder walls took a few hits from pieces of the spark plug shrapnel and chunks of the valve.
Ended my driving season a few months early. Just hope it’s back by spring

And he will just slowly fade away and then pick another thread to start crap like this again.

If you haven't noticed, he draws enough attention to get people going, then backs off enough to keep him from getting banned.

Pretty pathetic if you ask me. All you can do is report him and sooner or later he will get the ban hammer. I've seen people just like him come and go.

A troll.

Bingo

Bingo

He knows exactly what he is doing and unless he gets heavy into a bottle of jack, he wll keep walking that line and never cross it. He wont tell you much about who he is. No, that would risk people connecting to him outside of this place.

The point I guess I am trying to say is that he has no interest in this car, only comes here to stir things up, and he doesn't go so far as to get thrown out on his ass.

Want to get rid of him? Hit the report button on every thread of his. If enough people do that, In time, he will be banned and all his current and past ip addresses that he has used here will be blacklisted.

That's the only way you are going to get rid of this troll

 

[IPOGT]

Hmm let me check to see if I care what you think of me…

Nope, nothing. Too-da-loo

I think there may be some debate as to whether the term may in fact be “toot-a-loo”, but I haven’t searched the term recently.
