sorry this is the OP i posted on a freinds account
Yes, they are cracking at the rings and scoring the sleeves.
Time to upgrade to a boss block and internals :rockon:
Interested in this also...
What is the Mileage on your car? From what I take from reading these threads is that
their happening realatively early in the engines lifecycle, like between 1000 to 4000 miles??
Hope so anyhow as im at 9000trouble free (knock on wood) miles....
On another note I heard that Ford searches the message boards to, in order
To prove Tunes/Racing.....

u realize u are wasting your time. u had a tune in it. U wanna play, u gotta pay.
Who is your tuner?
I work at rubicon. Guy there named allan told me about one that destroyed the top end due to malfunction in cam timing/sensors.
I'm also interested in who did the tune and what the outcome is.
Why post this BS if you are not going to give all the information to help our members stay away from the amateur tuners out there.I know for a fact there is a lot of fast 5.0 mustangs that have aftermarket tunes and even supercharger installs that are not killing no.8 cylinder.
i have noticed a lot of people with these newer cars are like this. They wanna make a big deal about something and then never finish the story. I think to many owners who play need for speed on xbox and think everything is that easy.
hate reading bs like especially when people leave out the parts of the story that matter (ie, who the tuner is and other details). Guess i just wont buy a tune from ANYONE since i dont know who to avoid exactly. All your doing is hurting the GOOD tuners out there and letting the armatures get away.
my cobra took a beating and poped at 150k miles. Was never afraid to do anything to it....this cars been great but im scared to touch shit. If i wanted a car that i didnt want to or wasnt allowed to personalize i would have purchased a Fusion. And we're talking boltons here not even blowers.

Well after reading this thread I would say that there may have been a piston and or ring problem with some early 5.0's and that Ford has fixed all of them that were not modded and fixed some of them even if they were modded. I would say they are going above and beyond to take care of the problem. To the OP sounds like it was the dealer in your case that denied your claim, but it sounds like you have accepted that fact and are upgrading on your dime. I have a 2012 on order and plan on doing the FRPP tuner kit and would love to do the blower as well but they dont sell it for the auto. So if I have a problem Ford will cover it and when I want to pay for the repairs or the warranty is done I will do what ever I want to the car.
5.0 engine has a problem
My 5.0 has a problem like i explained before with no:8 cylinder.
But see i'm not like other guys on this site complaining about you
play, you pay. Well i played and i'm not playing. The ford company
blamed the problem on the tuner and said that my engine has a hole and crack in top of piston no:8 . Well there completely wrong
i have 32 pictures of the pistons in my car and i have n0:8 piston in
my hand and i will post the pictures and the picture of no:8 and show the problem with it and it ain't caused by no tuner. I have paid a dealership ( not a ford dealer )to pull the engine and give me no: 8 piston in hand to take to court...........sence iv'e taken the car to 3 ford dealers and tried to pay them to pull engine and hand me the no:8 piston and they all refused my money.....i offered
all three ford dealers to pull engine and i would pay them up front $1500.00 but they all refused. Somebody afraid of something or what ????????????
