Another blown motor!

[Orwood]

Only 9k miles and the plastic rocker arm broke off, fell down and blew the motor. Ford says the new motor will be in next week for the change out. Apparently the rocker arm is a PROBLEM. Heads Up!! Let your WARRANTY person know if they already don't.

You have got to be kidding me!!!!!! A frickin plastic piece on an internal in a diesel engine? What crack smoking rocket scientist thought that would be a good idea?

Sorry to hear that you are down a vehicle right now. Hope it gets fixed right and back to you ASAP.
