[QUOTE="forcefedcobra, post: 7198889, member: 24929"] There are more than 3 cases. There are no less than 5 people in the thread on modular fords that have the issue. Also they are not all from the same build time. The motors affected come from back in Feb. til current and that includes motors from before the long back order and the post back order rush. FRPP is trying to feed us crap and call it filet mignon. This issue could all have been solved by the most simple junk yard test............Try to spin the ****er over by hand. YOU CANT! The harmonic balancer is shoved so tight up against the timing cover it takes a rachet and cheater bar to get it to turn. Like others I went this route to save time. Time is something I dont have alot of since I work a crazy busy schedule and the cobra is my daily driver. Now I'm stuck with a car sitting in a shop and a pretty looking POS sitting on the engine stand. FRPP is going to give me the option to either void the warranty and fix it myself that way it isnt down forever or screw me out of more time while I wait for it to ship back to them, get fixed, and then ship back.............Wow what a choice! Back when I had my fox I bought a new trans from D&D. The idiot that I purchased it from over the phone put it in the corner and never shipped it out. Then he had the balls to scream at me over the phone because I was upset that his mistake was costing me money while my car was sitting in the shop (went in the day the trans was going to show up so the old one could be removed) for over a week after the trans should have been there. The owner of that company paid half the cost of it sitting in the shop, overnighted me the trans, and made his idiot employee come into his office and apologize to me on the phone................If FRPP made half this effort I could atleast walk away from this experience and call it a lesson learned and not feel like my wallett and ass was hurting so bad.
