At 82k mi…
Apparently a broken valve spring lead to a valve becoming disconnected and rattling around in my cylinder number 4.
Probably something like this: 14:30+ in video
Except my pan and block are still intact.
Any chance of recourse from Ford on this allegedly solid engine? Single owner. All scheduled maintenance. No mods.
Any possibility the $3k on recently replaced (January) spark plugs (both sets) and wires and other svc caused something to cause this?
Other svc performed at that time:
.Coil packs on 5&7 replaced
.Throttle body svc and clean
."Injector flush svc" required injector clean and flush rail
."Direct injection induction service" that required runners and valve soak and flush
If not, any ideas of best way out? Rest of truck (Gen 1 Raptor, black on black) is in good shape and has a new fuel pump. Tommie Vaughn says $17k for reman crate engine swap.
