Default Roush wants back my Alum. FE 511 motor

Well I just found out tonight that the Roush techs that are here at Anthem Motors want to take my motor back to Michigan. After doing a leak down test and blowing compressed air into the cylinders, finding out that 3 have enough blow by to warrant the motor to come out. Thank God for warranties. I will be down for at least a month. Just when the weather was getting nice too. After speaking to Charlie there, they are going to replace the pistons and rings in the motor. They feel the rings might be stuck. Only about 1000 miles on the motor and it runs great, just blows white smoke when you get on it a bit. Hey at least I can say that they stand behind their product and they flew out here to check it out. I hope the outcome is great and I get my car back soon.
