That will be a new engine, sir.

Ford reliability hits a new high with engines reporting to last almost a full 10,000miles before needing a new head.
6000 miles?

I BET THEY BOUGHT HEAD GASKETS FROM SUBARU AMIRITE LOL

It’s stupid this is happening and Ford is partly to blame, but what do you expect from a high-strung motor in a hoonbox?

Imagine being this retarded.
Chase Hughes
>2.3 Turbo making 350hp from the factory
Seems pretty high strung to me too. Those are the kind of numbers you'd expect after some aftermarket components and a tune, but it looks like Ford decided to cut out the middle man.
William Green
>Those are the kind of numbers you'd expect after some aftermarket components and a tune
Yeah, maybe 10 years ago.
Being "high strung" or not isn't the problem. The problem was the shoddy engineering.

This news is old as fuck. Some cars got the wrong head gaskets (from the mustang 2.3). The warranty will cover it if you weren't a massive faggot and modified your brand new car. it's a non-issue.

I'm literally retarded and even I can see why this was a horrible idea.

That is very high strung for a normie car.
You would expect something closer to 150.
Ian White
Hey don't drag us into this, the rs was developed by Ford of UK, we didn't even get the RS until recently
Jordan Lee
>150
>out of a turbo 4 2.3L
its not the 90s anymore grandpa, the fiesta st makes 200 from a 1.6L
Brody Peterson
>partly to blame
Sebastian Hill
Factory turbos are mostly for emissions/efficiency purposes and don't usually make that much more power
Sebastian Perry
Why would it? The naturally aspirated 2.0L in the base model Focus makes 160.
It isn't the fucking 90s anymore.
Hunter Kelly
completely wrong
modern cars run high boost so they can advertise high power numbers but cheat fuel economy numbers

The last and only one we ever owned always had problems. Never again.

That was because the factory received the wrong headgasket (for the 2.3 mustang) from their supplier, and it was close enough nobody noticed. They have an open recall right now to replace the head gasket with the correct part, and the ones that had the correct part from the factory don't have any issues.
The recall replaces the headgasket and/or the head depending on the severity of any damage that occurred, but none are getting new engines.
Jeremiah Myers
How much damage can the faulty headgasket do to engine long term?
Cooper Rivera
Stop cry, it's a FORD
Colton Edwards
>what do you expect from a high-strung motor in a hoonbox?
Not to drink coolant.
Colton Perry
I'd be rather annoyed if they fucked up my engine and they just offered to change one part.
Brody Price
they replace the whole head or engine if its bad enough
Logan Perry
much better than GM needing a new engine after less than 1k miles lol
