[QUOTE="wilderyzed, post: 9562248, member: 77932"] What happened more than likely is you over expanded the pistons to a point which they contacted the block and the motor temporarily seized. I had this happen to me when my thermostat stuck closed. The gauge reads like normal temp because the sender is in air instead of water sending a false reading. This can also be caused by consecutive wot runs or wot runs for extended periods of time. Piston over expansion is common in our cars due to the cheap stock aluminum pistons which have large expansion rates and ford builds the motors tight so when they expand after hard running they seize. I have a 650 horse car it did the same and it still runs great a year later. If its not knocking I wouldn't concern myself about it too much. Theres nothing you can do at this point to help the matter really. [/QUOTE]
