There are a hundred things they could/would come up with to void the warranty......
BTW: I have one of those expensive BOSS 302 blocks, serial number under 1000.....guess what, the rear main seal area was machined wrong,it's .050 out of wack, it doesn't leak oil out the back, it pours oil out the back.....
Had to tear down the engine to the bare block,crate it up, send it to Michigan for them to inspect it and tell me there was nothing wrong with it and that it shouldn't leak a drop.........well, it leaks like crazy and had it checked by 2 different machine shops and they both came up with the same thing, bad machining where the one-piece rear main seal goes,not centered in the block.....
So now I own a nice pretty $1,700.00+ paperweight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU FORD RACING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW: when I called the tech people about this, first question was is it the big bore block (4.125) or the standard bore block (4.00)????
tech let it slip they were having major problems with the first big bore blocks and were taking them back with no questions asked....I hope they have that problem fixed by now.........
