Welp..... motor's out. Brought it over to the machine shop for dissection and in depth analysis.
I'l get to the bottom of what happened, and why at some point in time.
I will say this, the spark plugs, even though they were new, and was told by staff at LMS they needed replacement, are
PERFECTLY FINE.
In fact, my guy locally, has reinstalled them into his own personal Ford Flex, and has been running them
WITHOUT ISSUE to date.
Also,
HUGE KUDOS TO MATT @ Gearhead Motorsports[/U] for immersing himself into the picture, and providing LMS with the necessary info, values, etc. to get the Deatschwerks injectors working, even though I was told that the values weren't there by LMS staff. The fact that Matt had no dog in this fight, but offered his assistance, is beyond any words I can type. A huge thank you seems somehow not sufficient for him having lent his assistance.
That said, as I obtain details and such, it goes w/o saying, I was told that only
ONE (partial) DYNO PULL was performed, before the car was removed (from the dyno) and parked due to observed problems.
Oddly, there was an 11 mile difference on the odometer between when my car was dropped off at LMS (on April 9th, 2019) to when my car was retrieved from their facility by Grand Beach Towing on Monday 05/13/2019.
Seems awfully interesting that I heard ZERO from their staff between 04/09 & 04/24 in regards to my car's status, even though I was assured on the front end, that the dyno work should last no longer than 1 week up front.
Awfully odd that there's an 11 mile difference in the odometer and only one (partial) dyno was performed over the course of 4 full weeks. That's one helluva dyno session! Ha! Geezuz.
Anyhow, I digress. For now.
Moving along, still incredibly incensed and miffed that I am missing the giant Ford National's @ Carlisle for 2019. Apparently I was listed to be #62 in their all time history of "featured cars". Bittersweet as some fellow owners sent me literature that my car was listed in the official display materials.
My goal right now is to document, document, and document. Then hopefully come back from this set back even better than before.
I am thankful for LMS having provided me with the (positive) memories of what now seems to be, for all inclusive purposes..... yesteryear..... but I am also looking forward at the horizon and seeing what lies ahead as I come back from this, with the goal being ever better than before.
More details to come as they occur. Just a quick update of you will, to hopefully ease some of those that are yearning for details.
Thanks for staying tuned!
