My X runs fair around town but it does not like long drives down the highway. Good compression but it's using oil like no manana (5 quarts between oil changes, no leaks) and the #5 sparkplug shows oil and it pings. I am trying to nurse the engine through till the end of the year.
Anyway, my local Ford dealer offers a rebuilt long block with a 3 year/100,000 mile warranty for $2400 plus exchange. The parts guy asked me if I have a automatic or manual transmission???
Question: 1) is there any difference in the block when paired with the A4DL as compared with one mated to a M5OD-R1?.
I plan on losing my A4LD and getting M5OD-R1 as soon as I can source all the parts. is there something I am missing here?
