Ok, finally an update. As I hope some of you will understand I waited till the car was back before saying anything. First, there is no hush hush agreement with anyone, that is absolutely ridiculous. There are also places on the internet that say we never made it to the moon, 2Pac, Elvis and Hitler are all still alive, and Obama is the anti-christ.... well ...... anyway, don't believe everything you read or hear on the net. The car did go to the dealer, came back, then went back again to smooth out some remedial problems. The reason for not saying anything until now was I did not want to cause any trouble for the owner. The car was sent to a local Ford dealer, found to have a mechanical failure, CAR WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, and returned to the owner with a new 2012 motor. The extended wait time came from waiting for a new motor, as all current stock is already spoken for. Now for the diagnosis. As I stated earlier be sure to check your oil from the day you drive it off the lot. Problem 1, The car was found to be 4 qts low on oil. Now before anyone starts calling names for not checking the oil, the oil was checked before leaving out of the country, minimal driving while gone less than 100 miles, same tank of gas was still in it at the time of the failure. Lack of oil was not considered to be a player in the failure according to the tech, I disagree but hey I'm just retard that grew up around this shit. Now for the failure, it was found that the #2 main bearing had completely came apart and #4 had pieces missing and on it's way out when the motor locked up. It was ruled a mechanical failure and powertrain warranty was honored by Ford. When the car was purchased, the owner was instructed to not add, or change the oil till either 1 yr, 10K miles, or oil change indicator suggested. This was their answer to the "tick" everyone was hearing in the valve train. It was said that the oil in the motor had additives to help break it in. Those people having valve train "ticking" were changing their oil too soon. At 5k miles the owner called the dealership and asked them again about changing the oil, reported to them it seemed about a qt low. They reassured it was fine and follow the oil change as it has been recommended. Then at 9K miles we have a locked up motor. So, check your oil often, change it as you see fit or follow their recommendations. If it was mine, and it was low, I'd add some break-in oil to it, but that is just me. The owner is glad to have the car back, not happy about all the greasy finger prints, and the car runs like a top. But now I think I've scared him about his #8 piston! Now that is a whole other internet issue ........
