Back to the installer for warranty work and he discovered #7 and 8 with verticle scoring in those two cylinders only. Back to Roush and it's been about two months(guessing). I'm no expert but it seems these motors aren't highly stressed even though it's over 500 hp. How hard is it to build a motor and have the rings seat? Apparently kinda tough. Has anyone heard of Craft's motors puking oil? Seems Craft will get my money next time! 209 |
My Roush 402SR/TW uses little to no
oil. I put a little over a 1,000 miles on my car since the last oil change, and it's still full.
As STEVE-O mentioned, you should initiate the warranty process with Roush ASAP. If you bought your engine through a distributor/installer, that's the best place to start (let them coordinate the warranty details with Roush).
