It just takes one... LOL you're welcome. I re-read it this morning, and rather enjoyed it again. Lots of great info in there from the people who actually know, not just message board speculation.

:banana:

I sat here for hours and read the whole thing one day and analyzed all the pictures. That's when I realized I have issues...Some interesting comments though about WOT heat during engine testing. They also commented about the heat treating on the piston ring landings.

I had seen this before, but I never completely read it as in-depth as I have this time. Thanks for posting! This is a must-read!

 

[D.T.R]

Awesome info man.

Thumbs up, thanks for the link.

That article should have been a sticky. Ford did a good job of getting the press access for this info...it's what sold me on buying the new 5.0 in the first year.

Thanks for the link. I read this when it first came out, but it was great to read it again. Main sticking points for me:

375 lb ft of torqure rating on the mt-82

Weak connecting rods

I know im being negative here, but this is why I bought an auto and have a hard time slapping a blower on my car at the moment. The rest of the engine/drivetrain is top notch, hence I was able to convince myself to purchase a first model year 5.0. I also like the piston oil squirter advantages, maybe a nice selling point down the road over the updated '13.

Being that I had a motor replacement on my 2011 already... I can state that I feel this motor was indeed rushed to production.
