So last year I spun a main and rod bearing on my CSVT...wasn't too upset about it since the car had 92,000 on it and I pretty much drove the crap out of it.
Bought a complete engine assembly from Ford (debated 3.0L, but wanted the warranty...thank god) and spent the last six months installing it and various other parts. All in all, spent about $7500 on new parts.
That's more than this freakin car is worth...but pretty much anything that could wear on the car is new or rebuilt.
Anyhow, so I'm finally done putting the car together, fires up first time, runs and idles perfectly. Start driving around to break in the motor. 25 miles into the break in, I start hearing this kinda metallic clicking noise...[censored]. Sounded EXACTLY like it did when I spun a bearing last time.
Was on the freeway going 60mph and the thing just dies.
So, long story short, just got a call back from the Ford dealer, motor is shot...siezed up.
Sorry for the long post...I just had to vent. So mad right now.
