OK I WIN: .. Found all the good and bad pictures ..
Smoked the motor (center rear Piston Melted) 2017..? at 38K Miles,
at the Same Time (or shortly before) Wasted both Turbos
The above is the turners Fault and Mine (for letting them do the tuning in the first place).
so NEW motor installed by my buddy/mech/right hand man AND after New upgraded Turbos,
the new motor developed a timing cover oil leak (3 year 36000 mile warranty) took it to
the Ford Dealership that I bought the motor and parts "SO Many parts" (6000...?, 4200 for motor,).
AT the same time above Mech became the service manager.
Car was dropped of January 20 of this year and during that time,
after disassembly by another tech (who they fired) they found:
Transmission Drive gear that moves the fluid: cracked in half & 2 teeth missing
Torque Converter: Bearings at both Ends gone, and or wasted so only one option:
HP rebuilt trans with torque off of the internet: 2995.00 is what I remember
(+150 Shipping, 700 core, took me 5 months to get core back)
Last but not least: drove it for about 600 miles (test drive) brought it back to them,
Something wrong with the PTU:
cracked the outer housing and grenaded all the internals SO 1200.00 (do not even know)
because I took the car from them last Saturday the 19TH (so car was there 9 months)
AND I Have not even seen the final bill, Most of above labor they ate, AND
At the same time we installed a high flow inter cooler during all of this DRAMA.
My Mech buddy has now left the dealer ship, off to bigger and better things. He also indicated that:
NO ONE HAS DESTROYED MORE PARTS AND WORSE DAMAGE THAN I HAVE, and the only thing left is the rear End..47500 Miles Now, 10K on turbos, 8500 on Motor, 2500 on Trans/torque
Converter, and 1500 on the New PTU, Lets try this again :bangin:
SO NOW RUNS BETTER THAN EVER, but I am afraid to put the hammer to it.
So here are the pics from start to finish
Center Back Piston of blown Motor:
Turbos: cant tell from the pics, but the
shafts R bent, Blades destroyed
Transmission: wasted the drive Gear that
runs the Fluid pump, Broke 2 teeth, split
it in half. Metal all thru it, Drove it like
this for about 5 to 6K miles (do not know)
Next the torque converter, Both bearings gone
destroyed, yea do not have any good Pics
AND finally the PTU, last of the damaged items
and by far the worst of all of them, Cracked the
outer housing in 2 places, Destroyed the bearings
and the best pics of all.
