Holy crap, with this happening all the time now it seems like a $15k block would be cheap. Sorry to hear about your terrible luck bud

Its unreal how this wasnt a concern a year or two ago. These last 6 months have been insane

 

[jdgleason]

Check valve seats, heads, etc. I'd be really surprised if 2 blocks in a row cracked

 

[BlueOx]

Check the turbo drain tube?


Sent from the wild blue yonder....

 

[webb06]

I'm going to pressure check it again tonight

 

[3brorce]

Pretty soon going to trade back for a 6.0 if this crap keeps going on.

 

[powerstroked08]

Wow in so sorry to hear this man

Drivers side. Second stud from the back on the top row is leaking from the around the stud. I'll post a video later.

 

[webb06]

Side note, Teflon past was used during stud install. Elite directions were followed

 

[pog]

Wow. I'd light a match to the ***er at this point. In those 700 miles were you beating on it?

 

[madman1234509]

What studs, what did you torque them to, and was it the recommended/higher/lower?

 

[webb06]

I wouldn't say beating on it. I got it finished on Sunday night. Tuesday I added half a gallon of water, Thursday I added another half gallon of ford gold. So it was leaking from the get go I think. I never launched it. I punched it from a roll a few times and took it up to around 100 a couple times. Nothing real terrible. No rolling burnouts or drags

Elite custom aged. Final torque to 215. I followed the directions exactly as they stated from elite.

Wow. Again so sorry to hear man. It appears to be more of a quality control thing by the sounds of it. Obviously not yours or the machine shops wrong doing. I would definately say there are simply some that are strong and some that are just plain weak. Warranty on that block?

That makes me sick, I know the pain of having to tear something back apart (valve not seating) and can imagine how you are feeling! I say tig weld around the stud and grind the head so it seals. LOL

Calling ford tomorrow to see what kind of warranty deal we can work out. Hopefully they pay for new block, all gaskets, and some of the labor. Not sure how much we will be able to get.

 

[Jgon08]

This is horrible man, hope it's not the block again.

Honestly its not like your doing something retarded and purposely breaking it. I would think they should give you another block and SHOULD that being a huge SHOULD give some sort of compensation for the crap its put you through. Not to mention all of the liver damage it might have caused!:blitzed:

I'm not a drinker lol so that's not a big deal. We order a TON of parts from this dealer and they usually treat us really fair so we will see what happens

 

[powerstroked08]

Well I hope they treat you right. It only seems fair really.
