OK, I know a lot of folks are monitoring this thread, so let me end the suspense by saying something none of you want to hear. I cannot comment further on-line regarding this issue. I can say that I have reason to have faith this will work out, but further comment could complicate that effort.

One way or another, my 5.0 will be re-born, and it is unlikely I will stick to an OEM rebuild, meaning it is likely to go back together with considerable power upgrades. I appreciate all the kind words.

More to follow------

Ahhh..wow, ANOTHER thread that ends in a similar fashion. Either A an attorney got involved or B, the dealer/Ford said, if you want this taken care of stop posting. A couple of other threads have ended this way on other topics. Not this topic about Cyl #8 but other items.

Interesting...

Yep, interesting... I agree with your suspicions Def00.

on the data logging, I tried data logging once but couldn't figure out how to get the proper A/F ratio to report... I might do some more digging.. I suspect mines running rich but not too rich. but I guess you never know without a data log. If anyone knows or finds the proper way to see your A/F ratio i'd appreciate it if you post it here.

I guess this dude did what was right for him however this is quite dissapointing. Clearly ford wants to keep everyone in the dark with regard to specifically what the issue is with this engine failure.

I'm gonna crank up my dashhawk today and do some logs as I'm hoonin' around. Yer right, a WB will be required for actual A/F (my last car had one) but, I expect I'll be able to see commanded AFR, which'll say something.

I think that the target is .85 lamba. The 5.0s have a wideband built in also.
