VooDoo Blows up

[Flying Harley]

I had 110 miles and lost the motor. Has anyone heard about reliability problems ?

Damn man that sucks big time. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it's covered and they have u up and running fast

What happened? Full throttle what rpms, any mods, what broke?

 

[Flying Harley]

I drove it hard from the time i left the dealer but you know you have to get used to that much RPM and i was short shifting all the time. maybe 7500 max. i set the holographic tach to 8000RPM and never seen red come up on the heads up display. The lead tech said a rod or piston broke. sounds like somebody beating on the valve cover with 2 pound sledge. The dealer sent a video of it running. they said to not touch it and they sent out a new motor immediately. it should be back together this week. i have video of it on my phone. I haven't abused the car.

No doubt Ford wants to see that motor ASAP.

You're more than likely going to load it on You Tube or a hosting site before you can put it here.

Tempo is a bit quick for a YOLO jackass off-camera...

Well that doesn't sound good.
