Well, it's official at 67k motor completely trashed.
Ford made the dealer take motor apart as it locked up and found that 3 different rod bearings were spun.
Tuned on E50 for 50k miles and already replaced one turbo at 64k.
I believe that the motor was low on oil as I hadn't checked in recent months (2 months)
All in cost me 5200k and Ford paid 4500k
New motor and the previously replaced turbo came with a 2yr warranty, unlimited miles, and hopefully this will be a selling point should I decide to replace it.
MOST expensive car repairs I have ever paid, not sure if I can trust Ford for future purchases.
None of my other Fords (1st gen Lighting, fox body mustangs) had problems like this and those had mods as well.
Anyways buyers beware, learn from these mistakes.
