tunners no were to break pistons
it's funny my pistone has cracked as same as 1quick4.6
my piston is cracked in the same spots and the same amount of
cracks to. them are some smart tunes, to no were to crack them
no:8 pistons in the exact same place. and like i said before iv'e hired
a lawyer and am going after ford and if anybody else would like to get
involved contact mr.swann or email me. and if anybody out there still has there pistons from there old engine and do not won't to get involved, i will
buy there piston from them. i would love to walk into the court room with
two pistons cracked in the same exact way. people can't let ford get away
with what they are doing. they no they got a problem, but they are getting away with it because no ones doing anything about it.

True. Hypereutectic pistons have never been the most durable choice. Good forgings will solve many possible issues. Look at the Boss.

This is the better way to go, but I hope he gets somewhere with Ford. They have been screwing customers around for years and years. Its time someone gets a little payback. Im pulling for ya. But seriously dont waste a ton of time and money on it. Unless your lawyer is willing to do this probono, then I would not pursue it. Just get those forged pistons and enjoy that car.
:shrug: They have been screwing people for years and years...? Are you relating this to your recent issue with your Dealer, and their terrible choice to send your old car to MAACO to paint?

Ok again gentlemen to those who think this is merely because of modification have another thing coming. The early cars were know to have bad rings. THEY STOPPED PRODUCTION and revised them but im sure a few got thru the door. There are stock cars that this is happening too all were early builds. So enough of the its modded bullshit, and you pay to play crap. FORD NEEDS TO FIX IT REGARDLESS! Also anyone whos owned a modular motor and doesnt know this should be donkey slapped with ford's willy... piston's 7 & 8 tend to let go because of heat... looks like LDC needs to design another head cooling mod for us modular guys 
Same pistons breaking in the same manner in the same place is definitely not a coincidence.
u shouldnt have tuned your car. Or it would be getting fixed right now. Tissues
That sure looks like a tune failure to me. Hmmm, let's see. Detonation hammers on the.. what was it again? Oh yeah, rings! Which push on the less than superior quality stock pistons, maybe even breaking them. Sorry to see that, I agree it should hold up better to a crap tune.
If court says it was a fault of the tune what are all the tuners on cars with issues going to say? Did you guys with tunes sign a no fault form when you bought the tunes? I figure if a dumb ass can sue a gun company over shooting themselves............
I'm still curious to see proof of this happening to a stock car. We've only seen pictures of two, both tuned (that I recall, granted I havnt seen every post in this thread).
Tough luck for you OP, many have been pleased with this motor. No motor is perfect, therefor every few out of thousands in production will be a lemon.
mine popped #8 also, making only 402rwhp. there is a problem here:shrug:
why only on #8 though? Knock one knock all. If a/f is off it's a global thing, if it's too much timing also global... I dunno
That's my car, and I definitely think there is a design/manufacturing issue that causes the "tick" on a percentage of these cars. But I don't think there is any connection to the #8 meltdowns.
