You can always instruct your athlete to claim it was the unborn twin still inside their body that was actually the one doping and all is good.

LOL and I thought were getting "out there" with our conversation.

 

I see this thread is still absurd as hell.

 

Welcome to the internetz.

 

Fixed for truth.

I wonder if its possible to swap in the Duratec five cylinder from the MkII RS. That engine has proven to be pretty stout.

 

**** while we're talking absurd swaps, why not just put a V8 in there? That makes perfect sense on a brand new car with a warranty.

 

Well some RS owners may want more reliable hp. Some owners with mods and engine failures are not getting free replacement engines. And there will be engine failures after ppl's warranties expire. Why put back in a known 'weak' engine?

A bit of reading has led me to believe that the underlying problem with the Ecoboost engine in the current RS is its open deck design. Open deck engines seem notorious for movement and HG failures and are not well suited to turbo applications.

The advantages of a closed deck, or semi closed deck, are well documented.

 

It's not the open deck design, the 4b11 has an open deck design, and it doesn fine up to a certain (fairly high) power level. The block fails where one or some of head studs are threaded into. It loses clamping force on the head gasket, and it fails...

 

This is just ****ing stupid, man. You're asking ridiculous questions, like whether the old RS engine can be swapped in.

If you're gonna talk swaps on a brand new car that you don't own and will never own, might as well go full retard.

 

If an engine swap is one of your first mods on the quest for more power, you bought the wrong car.

 

That appears to be ONE of the causes. But RS' with coolant related failures have traced the issue to headgaskets, heads, and cracked blocks. Sometimes owners get replacement engines, sometimes new heads, sometimes just new gaskets. The inconsistency of how dealers handle the repairs is one of the main cripes on the RS forums and is why they are all crying for a TSB or literally 'any' word from Ford about the problem and solution(s).

Fixed and I agree.
