in OP, the graphs are updated w latest info - - new format Julian Date histogram

@Snowdogyyz had some T-shirts done-up - - to be awarded selected B6g members Okay, that was my weekend joke for a Friday evening having a beer, but this is big worry for many people - need to stay focused

- definitely - a few months ago there was a post - talking about Ford's lab testing the 2.7's, he said "they keep blowing them up on the dyno, but can't figure out why" - or similar to this - wish I'd bookmarked it - maybe in @estone28 repair thread

in OP - added anonymous reporting option Confidential Reports - to report a blown engine, anonymously - send private message to 'Lucchese' - use B6g Conversation -->> envelope button [✉] upper right toolbar - send engine ser# - (see label photos in OP) - or send last-8 digits of VIN - include...

- only full engine replacements stay on the list - a few cases from this week still waiting Service Dept diagnosis, but all are described as full engine replacement so far - when the engine grenades, the coolant spills - determining root causes after the fact - valves, springs, lifters, timing...

Confidential Report - line# 29 in OP - we have another new report - confidential source - engine build-date 21133 (May 13) - this new data-point extends B6g build-date tracking range on the low end - this confidential report has been 100% confirmed independently, we have the VIN and the engine ser#

Summary for Today - so far New - - today have three new blown engines to add in OP - now 31 total 1) @ScottTexas - need engine ser#, or last-8 VIN - ?? same as Scott Yuen on fb ?? 2) @matthiggins - need engine ser#, or last-8 VIN 3) Confidential - have VIN & engine ser# Updates of existing...

Brice . . Man, can you ask @Broncitis to share the last-8 of his VIN ? (Nov 5 blown engine in OP - line# 18) - he could send it to me by DM, so I can lookup the engine build-date on his Nov 5 blown engine, all private & confidential of course - And much thx these screenshots from Scott Yuen...

- yes, in upper graph you see there are two days w 3-fails on the same day (209 & 224), and day 166 has 2-fails on same day - in lower graph, you see the avg(mean) failure-mileage is ~ 2230, the highest so far is 4500, so def appears some type of 'infant mortality' problem - ? total blown...

Finally scheduled - resv 7/15/2020 - text from dealer w VIN - build week 2/21/2022

Re this new data-point yesterday - - sure, it's disappointing to see a failure outside the earlier '2-months containment' range we were/are hoping - but any engine will have occasional random failures, in addition to any known problem failures like 'bad valves' - so this new data-point might be...

Man, much appreciated - this gives your engine build-date: 08 Oct 2021 - current mileage 2058 - in OP, the table & graphs are updated

- Much thx - on this subject, if we can get engine build-date (& hopefully mileage) then we'll add it to the data set, no matter where it's reported, long as no duplicates - main goal is to increase the # of data-points in B6g table & graphs - they don't have to be members in B6g - yeah...

Man, this is not speculation . .

Man, so at least two sources - - @JollyFolly w Service Dept feedback - @TravisC91 w Service Dept feedback - & thot couple others mentioned rumors of re-design

- slow ? - I thot it was more hectic lately . . lolol - when this thread opened, at first we were getting event reports from weeks earlier, just catching-up w history, so maybe it seemed faster at first, but lately seems hectic to me - if it's all just a 'bad batch of brittle valves', they...

Histogram better visual 'clear gap' - current 21176 thru 21206 appears separate 'failure ranges'

yeah, you & @mpeugeot saddled me with it - so what choice did I have - - also got tired of some saying 'baloney' about # of failures so far

Right, and hopefully we don't see any new 'failure ranges' popping up as the newer builds get more miles - If they're all confined to these two short 'failure ranges' it seems Ford would have an obligation to contact the affected owners w some kind of safety bulletin - I believe Ford prob has at...

Looking at the 15 known engine build-dates so far, we have - - '1st failure range' (17-days) - 21159 thru 21175 - 7 failures - 'clear gap' (31-days) - 21176 thru 21206 - zero failures - '2nd failure range' (18-days) - 21207 thru 21224 - 8 failures With only 15 data-points our view is still...
