    I get it, that's the only thing that's kept me sane through this whole process.. ya, they replaced the cam phaser, and now it's running the way it should've all along.. these cars are extremely fast.. I've been driving it since I got it with the traction on. And now I'm getting more comfortable...

    My new motor did the long crank when it was installed.. it was a bad cam sensor, hahaha... new motor with a bad cam sensor. Once they replaced the sensor it has fired up like it should... I love my car, I think I suffer from beaten wife syndrome, but it has definitely been wearing on me..

    So far the motor is very strong. When I brought it in after break in for an oil change, they said it didnt lose a drop. I have about 1000 miles on it now with regular driving on it. I have yet to check the oil. But I will be on my next fill up... I'm very curios

    I'm sorry, but you lost me, so what happened to your first engine? You said it had no oil consumption issues with 2500 miles on it. Did it blow? And good luck with your new one.

    High Oil Consumption

    Only thing I was told, was to keep it under 4000 or so rpm and bring it back in a 1000 miles. And of course if something wasnt right, to come back.

    Engine swap is complete, going to pick car up today. Hope I have a good 1. Dropped car off July 5, pick up today. Not a bad turn around. I never called, never stopped by, nothing. Just left them alone to do their thing.

    My car is at the dealer getting a new engine. Dropped it off Thursday. The gave me a loaner car. I would guess I might get my car back at the end of the week, or beginning of next. Either way. I'll be getting it back with a new engine.. hopefully this one will perform flawlessly..let you guys...

    No, why do anything other then the oil test and claim your new motor? Ford knows what the problem is. That's why they have no problem handing out $30,000 engines like they're candy.. do your test, get your new engine and let ford figure out Ford's problem..

    Same here. Just want to be done with this. Very happy with the dealer up to this point, just disappointed in the fact that this is happening to myself and so many others. It's something ford had to have known about, did the #'s, and has to be way cheaper to replace the engines that are found out...

    Ya, I'm very lucky.. anyway, good luck with it and check your oil regularly.. if you have a oil thirsty creature, you will know right away, and if you do, dont be in denial about it. It took a minute for it to sink in when I checked the oil, dumped a few quarts in, then checked and added more...

    Yes, theres nothing wrong with the motor other then it burns oil.. as long as I add oil when needed, it's fine. And my dealer is awesome.. they couldn't do anything more for me.. it's just one of those things. Shit happens. And they're making it right, so it's working out so far.
