I guess there are always problems with a bad engine build from factory or faulty parts, that is the original idea of a factory warrantee to cover parts under these conditions but modify it / place more strain on components and they fail in a shorter time I guess. Maybe this motor would have died regardless of the modifcations........

Yeah there are a few failures going round, and that is very unfortunate for the owners.There are also plenty of Tuff T's running with stock internals, and have been for a long time. In fact the vast majority of people engines in here would be stock, and they cop a hard time.Not many other engines so easy to extract power with some degree of reliabilty.Scotty Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/29741-bottom-end-gave-up-at-248rwkw/page/3/#findComment-456840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
