Also got to remember winter blend fuel isn't the greatest either. Just so many variable at play here.

Nope, apparently there are at least 2 of us dumbasses......Tractorak said:black99lightning said:And you went WOT?Tractorak said:My car was up to temp however it was sub zero.
You say that like I'm a dumbass for doing that? Yes I accelerated to 50MPH at WOT on a warmed up car. Are you implying that should have caused this failure? If so there should be engines popping all over the country, Apparently I am the only one who rods their car in the winter. Well I hope you all learn from me and NEVER EVER FLOOR YOUR CAR WHEN IT's COLD OUT. Lucky that's only 4 months out of the year. Sorry I'm getting a little thin skinned on stupid comments.

The best thing for the OP was the fire. Ford would've never covered the engine because the car had a tune. Tunes,WOT, and sub 40 degrees is a recipe for disaster. Ask anyone that's owned a Lightning. A lot of times, you won't hear the detonation, but you'll hear the Kaboom.

I do have on question. Regarding the oil leak the guys found rebuilding it... Was it a crack?, gasket?... Did they say?... Clearly they are mechanically competent and didn't see it when they wer replacing burned items.
