Engine CARNAGE...#8... 5L KryPoNITE
- Thread starter 1Quick4.6
- Start date
When is your build date? Job 1 or job 2 car?
can you specify on this please? i did some research and cant find anything about job 1 or 2 builds? thanks
Safe to say this thread is full of dissappointment. This pistion is out of my intake exhaust tune 5k mile car and looks like many other unfortunates around out there.
here is were the car was at power wise and AFwas between 12.8:1 13:1 if you scaled the graph out and the tune was SCT base file with the AF evened out basically
And in all his glory the antiFORD man of steel
It doesn't look like it in the pics, but is the top ring land steel lined?
seriously? do you where pantys? Nothing wrong with these cars. U read stuff on the internet and u think every car has an issue? I work at a dealer. Zero mustangs have been back with any kind of issue. One Gt500 with a turn signal out.
:lol: thong underwear would be my guess -
F'ing crybaby bull shit throwers, who go and over tune their cars and cry when they blow up. Have you seen a post from anyone having this problem that hasn't put a T U N E in their car? Let's see/hear it?
Then these infants want Ford to give them a new motor under warranty so they can go and do it again. :nono: Go visit the F'ing tuner a**h*** with a baseball bat - that put the tune in and get your new motor from him.
I subscribed to this thread thinking it was a problem with the stock Ford motor - then all I'm reading is one idiot after another with a tune in who blew up their engine -
YOU PLAY - YOU PAY

I dont know much about it but job 1 cars were the first cars that were built. I want to say it says it on the window sticker or somewhere. My car is a job 2 car that was built in 11/10/10
I'm fairly certain that Job 2 started 8/16/10. My GT500 was a Job 2 build on 8/24 and my GT was built 11/23.
This is really odd. If the ECU is doing it's job then this shouldn't happen. The A/F looks fine. I would shoot for around 12.8 down low and taper to 12.5-12.6 if I was doing it, and this tune doesn't seem far off of that. Hopefully some sort of complete explanation will come to light soon. At first glance if I didn't know about potential tuning issues or the knock sensors not functioning correctly I would just chalk it up to piston failure due to craftsmanship or ring issues based on the photos alone. I mean, the piston looks broken between the ring lands vs melted. Not that detonation will not cause this, but it just seems suspect. What is the PTWC on these? Does anyone know?

if the mood strikes :banana:
lol im simply saying i had intentions for this car, just minor mods because i did not want to jeopardize my motors longevity. but if a tune for intake and exhaust is risking my motor, i simply wont do it.
then again if you think about it think about the 10 people on the forums that are saying their motor blew, and think about the 1000s upon 1000s of mustangs that are tuned, that have NOT had this issue. its just a risk you have to be willing to take. i used to work at a ford dealership as a mechanics apprentice, i have alot of buddys in a local ford shop that im sure can hook me up if needed. i think ill save up and eventually tune it. if the motor blows i guess ill build it instead of just replacing parts
I'd like to see the same video with the FRPP Tune/ K/N drop in Filter set-up.... Good numbers, btw....
not to mention i found sticker residue on my car from an SCT sticker on the dash, i checked service history using the VIN and it hadnt had anything crazy but oil changes. the previous owner had it tuned and apparently had no issues. i should be fine

I may know someone that knows about some issues with something that can happen to some folks somewhere about some thing. That has been this whole thread except that the OP has a photo of a broken coyote piston. As others said be ready to pay if you play, that holds true regardless. Are your odds higher with a 5.0 at this point? Way too early to tell.
will you please tell us what dealership you work at so we will all know where NOT to go? thanks...
Funny thing is, the dealer i work at probably would fix it the first time no question asked. Just a warning. People come in with an attitude, thinking they know more than a ford engineer. Then they demand shit they read off the internet. Id say 95% of the time nothing is wrong with cars. Your reading a story on the internet which probably isnt a 100% true.
Just dont come in with a supercharger bracket hanging off the motor. then want a free motor. Use common sense.
That's funny . He said Zero Mustang. Yeah right !!
You've gotta pay to play. I know it sucks and I feel for you. Last thing I would want to do is have to put a new motor or rebuild a 5k mile car. But, if you didn't think you did anything wrong you wouldn't of de-modded the car.
stick with the Ford racing tune folks...full warranty...if you don't car about the warranty, go aftermarket, but don't complain if you have an issue.
