It is the result of complex failure engineering analysis and design. Otherwise modern engines would be junk.
And, Ford has used all or most of these to generate the performance of the EB.
I am old enough to remember when getting 1 HP per cubic inch out of a stock, streetable engine was an amazing engineering feat. Hotrodders who got any more than that usually had a cruddy running, low mpg, time bomb under their hoods.
The OEM EB, as produced by Ford makes over 2 lb/ft of torque per cubic inch and makes over 1.7 HP per cubic inch........This engine -- stock as a rock --- is a very high performance engine, folks.

Their is a huge difference between a parts changer,and a trained technician,and what does race have to do with the ability to repair a vehicle ?

Look up Canada....... and temporary foreign worker. I don't care what race you are if you are qualified..... but paying $150+ an hour for some unqualified guy they can pay a lower wage to than a resident of this country based on some joke labor shortage.... I don't support that. What happens in the US doesn't really mean much to me.....

Aboosted, I agree with you, modifications shouldn't automatically damage an engine. However, can see why Ford would look at whether an engine has been tuned and be suspicious. It seems smart to investigate before shelling out thousands of dollars. I'm not saying a tune should guarantee damage wouldn't be covered but I can see the argument. This same conversation takes place on the jeep forums.
