"I think the fact that I have a sway bar (keeps car flatter) and the fact that I run a fulls six quarts in it helps." Sway bar! Very interesting thought Aussie - I've been thinking about this starvation issue for a year and did not think about keeping the car move level.  It sure cant hurt..

They will contact the Service manager at your local dealership and then tell you to get your records in order and fax them over to the service manager. It is scary the number of Tours that are going out right now. I am going to forward this link to Troy at SVT and also try to get it through to John Colletti the head over at SVE. If you have or have had a blown engine, keep posting, it's the only way to get this recognized. Thanks everyone, Chad

I blew my engine on my old 95SE with 95K on the clock back in June.
Since I replaced the engine and sold it to someone else, could I get a reimburement from Ford?
I was driving any sweeping turns - engine just blew without any notice. And the oil level was high enough, so oil starvation was not the problem here.

Having it looked at before it goes could save you a lot of money and time. Avoid damage to the block. Keep us posted.

I wonder as well, what about the years of the cars? I autocross all the time, hard hard rights. My car has also been known to burn a little oil runs about a half quart low at times. BUt I have pushed it hard very very hard through right handers, even had the ass end swap with the fron end on one autocross track but I have never had a problem.
Oh well as long as they are picking up the bill!

Update: Talked with the dealer today and the car should be ready in a week. I will give them the Great turn around award. Which is nice since I'm driving around in a 4 banger Cavalier. (No offense to Cav drivers, just not my cup o tea).
I am keeping on Ford to find out what is happening to my old engine and what they might find out caused the thing to blow in the first place. I'll get back to the thread with any info they pass on to me.
Haven't heard anything back from Troy at SVT yet (sent him 3 different emails) Hopefully he is just busy and will respond soon.
Keep us updated on what happens for those of you with recently blown Tours.
