not at my post...
Keep in mind though that the GT-R's and the 11-14 GT500 all had the spray liners too. The GT500 blocks were sprayed and cast by Honsul in Germany. The GT350 and the Gen 3 Coyote are sprayed and assembled in Canada.

Well there we go, German’s don’t **** around when comes to precision and adhering to mfr protocols.

I mean, all things considered the 5.2 FPC was a "first of it's kind;" only in that it's the largest displacement FPC engine right? They've been building pushrod engines, in larger displacement and possibly higher revving than the Ls7 since what... the 60s? I'd say the larger screw up here, compared solely to the task at hand, was the Ls7 valve issue.

In the 427R
6.0l power stroke injectors
6.0l power stroke egr cooler
6.0l power stroke oil cooler
6.0l power stroke head gaskets
6.0l power stroke ficm
6.0l power stroke ipr valve

5.4l 3v timing chain tensioners
5.4l 3v cam phasers

I completely agree.
In my experience the new 4 cylinder from BMW is garbage. I’ve seen 4 blow up already.
Then Porsche completely abandoning the air cooled engines. It took them some time to get the water cooled engines right.


Pick your poison.

And who trusted Canada with the job? An American company. Can only blame yourselves :D

Damn. I was 7 when the Challenger nuked. Watched it live in elementary.

Been long enough to tell a tasteless Challenger Joke?

Don’t forget the STC fitting and “stand pipes” that will leave you stranded. Ask me how I know...
