I don't have the details yet, but I dropped off my 2000 SVT on Monday at the local Ford dealer. I had noticed a tapping at 4K+ rpm. So I made a list of every other thing I could possibly think to have Ford take care of for me (still under warranty). I had a brief conversation with one of the managers and that tapping (a pin connecting the piston rod in cylinder 1 was making the noise) was enough of a problem that Ford will be installing a "new" SVT motor. I also mentioned a stiff shifting problem in the tranny.....yeah, they are going to rebuild that. Great service, not so sure about the car anymore. Does anyone have any insight on what has gone wrong. I don't beat on the car and take good mechanical care of it, I just don't get it.
