[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 4089832, member: 3099"] How many miles did you get outta yours? The [I]"oil passages are too little and restrictive[/I]" mantra is not correct. Many of these engines are putting in long mileage, far too many to indicate an inherent design problem. The problem is people do what Ford tells them and unknowingly use the wrong oil. Add to that using the wrong oil thats cheap at the quick lube and also letting it go too far between changes and you end up with problems pretty quickly. Not the owner's fault really, it's just that Ford shoulda listened to their engineers instead of uncle Sugar with his CAFE standards, they'd have a lot less complaints with people having to mod their engines to make them last. Now those 2 piece spark plugs.....Those are a completely different story! [/QUOTE]
