Dissapointing year end with my Roush 427R

[james911pro]

As I pulled off the highway and up to the traffic light...I heard a strange "metal rattling" noise. I was sure it was the car next to me but my car also sounded like it was running on only 7 cyl's. As I started away gently I heard heard the same strange noises. This was confirmation that it was really coming from my car. I immediately pulled over and shut her down. All temps and guages were normal as was oil and coolant levels. I had the car towed back to my house. After another complete visual I dropped the oil to look for metal shavings...still nothing. Convinced it was a rod/bearing I pulled the oil pan to find a small piece of metal in the pan. I contacted Roush immediately to diagnose the problem. I spoke to Mark who was tough to get a hold of but was excellent, knowledgeable and very patient helping me over the phone. The piece was actually a fragment of a "dogbone" that holds the lifters in place. Upon furthur examination there is also damage to the camshaft. The engine has less than 2600 miles on it and I was told by Roush "its out of warranty". I have had a few other issues ... the carburator had to be changed because of hesitation, the H20 pump and I have had an oil burning issue from the beginning. The dealer looked at a few things but I was basicaly put off until they did a leak down test (within the warranty period). The results were normal..per the dealer and Roush. That obviously didn't stop the oil consumption and now I need the engine removed the "dogbones" and the camshaft replaced...the oil consumption issue fixed... and hopefully have the car back on the road for spring. I paid a bit more for the Roush to have piece of mind... Can anyone help?? Any Ideas???
