So there you have it. National coverage of the issue. Now, maybe Ford will admit that there is an issue.https://jalopnik.com/why-so-many-fo...ource=jalopnik_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

They probably would have said:"Jalopnik? What's that?".If my car wasn't already broken I would totally bringing that Jalopnik article to the dealer. "Look! Here's my car, in a Jalopnik article, smoking like a chimney. Can you please fix it now?"
You'll be paying for anything related to parts for the clutch (Labor won't be charged as that is covered by R&R'ing the engine). Nothing failed from manufacturer defect and was operable when it came in. It is considered a normal wear item.
I didn't mean that ford was going to pay for a new clutch.
Just that since the old clutch needs to be transferred to the new engine, I can cut all the labor charge out of it like that and just pay for the new clutch disc.
I need to speak to someone more mechanically inclined as he wasn't sure if the clutch had to come off during the engine replacement. I'm fairly positive Ford is not including new clutch assemblies on crate engines.
Cheap Ford is cheap. I'm assuming that the entire clutch and flywheel assembly will be transferred from the old engine, unless you told them you want a new clutch.
On a side note, this is absolutely crazy...sucks to hear. Hopefully you're getting the "updated" version of the head, gasket, block or whatever they fixed.
God damn.
Did you blow up the new motor?
Clearly Ford has a problem.
Yes they circled the problem right in the Ford logo. Lol!!
