[QUOTE="AustinSN, post: 16076809, member: 159453"] Ford is typically very quiet when it comes to issues. With the RS, we still don't know what the exact issue was, but apparently it was a big enough problem for Ford to replace every head gasket on those engines. Ford still hasn't told us why the phasers in the 3 valves all seem to be bad as soon as it hits 100k. Most engines get replaced due to consumption, of the engines that have blown, quite a few of them were from oil filters coming off and the engine starving, it was enough that Ford redesigned the oil filter setup. I've even seen failures from the oil sensors not being tight. I try to look at in terms of chance, even if there is a 10% chance that my engine will consume too much oil and need to be replaced, I know it has a warranty. With a free extended warranty after that, I know I can rely on Ford to cover it for 8 years and then it's just the gamble afterwards. The cars generally show their issues early on (sub 10k) range, I've only heard of 1 engine being over that where it had a problem. The guys with 20-40k miles are chugging along just fine. [/QUOTE]
