[QUOTE="CompOrng04, post: 13805137, member: 142823"] Well, pumps are at 90% and AF is good, but when winter came around, it started getting detonation under boost, I did some research and it seems that during the winter, the gas has more additives to make it atomize and combust more easily for colder weather. So my assumption is that the tune had timing that was a little too advanced for the fuel? I put 32oz of torco in every tank now and it doesnt have any of those issues. Now for the troubling part. I bought the engine from ford, had a few hiccups with it. The first being that before I put anything together, I noticed an O-Ring that was cut from the person that assembled the motor. Then, after putting the entire engine together, the last things to install were the motor mounts, which to my surprise, didn't go in without a hitch. There were 2, not just 1 but 2 bosses out of 3 for the drivers side motor mount that had damaged or missing threads. After fixing those issues, I got the motor installed in the car and it ran perfect. Drove it for about 500 miles then drove it home on a 700 mile trip. Then the motor started making a noise, all before I ever got into the throttle and took it through some RPM. Its not one that i've ever heard before. It almost sounds like some marbles going down a metal pipe. It does it just a faintly when its cold, and when its warmed up and turned off for a little bit but not allowed to cool off, it does it even worse. And when its warm, I mean, like a 20 minutes of driving or more warm, it runs perfectly. It almost sounds like valvetrain noise, but you cant hear anything coming from the valve covers. Anyway, its very frustrating, and I have already started the warranty process with ford. And if anyone has any experience with a strange noise like that, or with dealing with the warranty through ford, any input would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
