Well yet another SVT has died of oil loss. 7mile w ramp from 275 North, high revs, 2/3 of the way around, sudden loss of power, no cel or oil lights. At first I thought it was the IMRC, as it has been failing more with the warmer weather, however then I heard the noises.

I was 2 miles from McDonald ford, and I limped it there. The said they would work on it, if I insisted, but strongly recomended me to a some race engine guy at Bill Brown. So it was towed there.

Question: Where is that huge post on dead duratecs, I searched but couldn't find it.

Oh and fyi's
Mobil1 5-30/0-40&M1 filter every 5k, DMD and seal installed 2kmiles ago, they said I was down 2q, but I had no oil spots anywhere. I also have a premium care warrantee. AutoXd only once.

Oh and I heard noises from the engine both top (valve cover) and bottom (oil pan), would have posted yesterday, but I was out being pissed.
