To be honest with you Alex, Ford couldnāt even respond, with tuning, etc... nothing went off the charts, that would blame the tune, etc. What frustrates me, is that Ford will sell you an exhaust from Borla, that will cancel your warranty... I have their exhaust sitting in my living room, and...
An 83 mustang convertible 5.0.. my first water pump change lol bought a repair book from Autozone.. If I can see it, I may possibly figure out how to get to it... ? Eventually upgraded to a ā93 with 3ā Mac headers, 3ā dumps behind the axle... had the stock pipes tac welded so cops wouldnāt ding...
@vitus, I agree, I have some that I need to get rid of... ?, I hate it, itās like.. that one, no no wait, that one... no!! Wait a minute... That one!!! ?
Doug, you suffer from being over critical.. I completely understand what you said... thatās all... with that being said, can we still be friends? Iām not here to start arguments, I just want to learn, and enjoy being a forum member... ?
@Dfresh, then thatās my bad... my bad, and Iāll take it... and to engineers etc., itās frustrating for a simple man to see the simple pics, that you guys pull detail out of... at times, I get frustrated at what engine builders, and engineers can see, and can draw conclusions from... I get...

With that being said...
I appreciate everyoneās help, and to everyone that has reached out to me... thank you... I want to show all...

A little over 19,000 miles, which delayed this repair... I never had a āCheck Engineā light... Ford wanted to look into this more intuitively... took 3 weeks while paying for rentals, for āall the modsā Hell, you could have said that when you opened the hood... lmao to all my guys out there...
Iāve noticed a lot of engineers, retired etc, are monitoring this thread, some seem Ford related... so when you look at these photos, what are you visually looking at, to determine what failed?? By all means, please school me, Iām asking sincerely... What are you guys looking at, with these...
