My engine itself has not had any mechanical issues. The fuel injection system was never right, and I footed the entire bill even after they said they would either (1) refund my payment for the shop time in Livonia or (2) send someone out to work on it [I already had it done by a local Accel DFI guy]. I'd be reluctant to buy another one of their engines.

Warranties are considered a liability on the company's books. If I were Roush I would be banking on the typical Cobra user profile: Buy a relatively expensive with a short warranty knowing that it won't be used enough to expose hardly any problems within the warranty period. I can see them not covering picky things after a time period but pieces falling off the inside should be covered for an extended time period or say 12000 miles.
