After a couple of days of having the car back I seen it was still using coolant. Took it back in to find what the problem is.Got the news today that it's got a cracked block.

I was going to put it into a brand new FG block from ford but found out today they dont sell just blocks but only short motors. So I'll probably try and find a low k's BF one.

I just hope whatever I get the same thing doesn't happen again. I'll be getting it crack tested so hopefully nothing is wrong with the new one.
