These strange beasts seem like the world's most awesome engine while they are running well, but whoa betide you if you have a top end rattle and ignore it because it still pulls like a train. Get it checked asap if you hear any ticking because it's about to self destruct. I just hope I can save someone some cash and grief cos when those rockers break up its a whole new engine. |

The new engines are coming up with a fault with the oil, after 6,000 miles it's coming up with "Change Oil." One lad round here has a brand new one and has three oil changes by now. They've even sent a Ford Tech up to take a sample of the oil away. His 100,000 mile warranty will still be intact. |

The engine is degrading the oil for some strange reason. A ford Tech has taken the oil away for analysis. A Ford dealership has done the oil changes and has used the recommended Ford Oil. |

They are mainly great engines edders 23, and will probably be good for 200,000 miles as long as you DO NOT ignore any unusuall noises, however slight they may sound. |
