Consumer Description
AT CERTAIN RPM RANGES THE PISTON CAN BE HEARD SLAPPING THE CYLINDER WALLS, CYLINDER WALL SCORING IS PRESENT AND MAY CAUSE PREMATURE FAILURE OF ENGINE. IT CAN BECOME WORSE DOWN THE ROAD AND CREATE MISFIRES, FROM NO COMPRESSION, ALSO CAN MAKE FOR A VERY LOUD ENGINE KNOCKING NOISE. I HAVE DRIVEN A FEW OF THEM AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SOUND. FORD BUILT THE ENGINES WITH TOO MUCH CLEARANCE BETWEEN PISTONS AND CYLINDER WALLS. ALSO THERE IS A TICKING NOISE AT IDLE THAT FORD CLAIMS IS NORMAL BUT PEOPLE ARE HAVING DAMAGES TO THERE VEHICLES FROM THIS. ATTACHED IS CYLINDER WALL SCORING PHOTOS
