You've never met a mechanic/service writer that hasn't tried to sell you a part or service, or an additional/better part or service, that you may or may not have needed? Really? I find that hard to believe, if you've had your cars serviced/repaired/rebuilt by someone other than yourself over the years.

Asking a mechanic, that relies on Roush for any sort of income stream, is ripe for a biased opinion. I'd rather hear the opinions of owners, like yourself, who have had either a positive or negative experience with Roush engines. A Roush mechanic wants to see more Roush engines sold, because they'll likely increase the mechanic's income stream over the years.

From my standpoint, it appears that Roush is building these engines on a semi "mass production" format with bulk purchased parts and an assembly line manner. Not like they are being built by a single engine builder with the care and cautions required for "your" engine. They are not like a GM or Ford plant with all the QA, tolerances and whatnot worked out.
Just my 2c.
