[QUOTE="broke7, post: 855503, member: 9457"] Not sure on the 04's...ford isnt gonna admit to a mistake if they made it, at least NOT YET. A faulty piston on their "leading" flagship in the performance category doesnt look good on their resume. My assumption was the 04 motor was a replica of the late run 03 motor with the same internals and TICK was resolved, but ive already heard reports of 04 mach 1's with the TICK. So who knows if these motors are getting the same pistons as early run 03's. If it did happen to a certain batch of pistons its gonna be hard for them to track where these pistons came in from, and in which cars they went it if there was a casting spec problem and they own up to it. I think that thread I found may of explained alot which makes since to me. The problems with the pistons suck, just as bad as ls1's which are notorious for slap, and the Fbody guys have been fighthing that battle since they came out, and chevy hasnt owned up, they keep saying its normal. Its obvious though if the piston failed because of skirt problem's it was either out of spec or had material failure. [/QUOTE]
