Dissapointing year end with my Roush 427R

[grybrd123]

Hi guys:

I don't know who Cashburn was referring to, but I had Roush 402R 369 (bought through Gear 6 Performance in Boise), and the problems sound exactly like mine. It ran well, but burned oil from day one (300 miles/qt) and eventually it went back to Roush for a rebuild, after which it burned even more oil (100 miles/qt). I put 6800 miles on it in the time I had it. After trying this, that, and the other thing, they gave me a new 427SRX. They paid for all the mechanics time, the shipping, and odds and ends.

My warranty (started in June 2009) was for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever was shorter. I dealt directly with Roush, and filed a warranty claim in October last year, and the new motor was installed last June, so it took a long time and a LOT of back and forth (fortunately, it rains all winter in the PNW, so it was a good time to have to mess with it). I went through Mark Yagelo, and he can be very difficult to contact (travels all the time) and may not respond to e-mails, but he is helpful when you can talk with him.

If you (who started this thread) PM me with your contact info, I will give you my contact info if you want to talk. I have a lot of info that might help you.
