Why is Ford telling you what you can and cannot do or know about YOUR engine?

With warranty I'd assume it's now their engine. Just speculating

Nope it is not theirs, yet. It is still his until they have reimbursed him with another one. Even in their eyes it is still his(hence why he had to pay the wrecker fees) until they have gathered enough info to ensure it is warrantable or not to reimburse him.

I didn't say now but when he gets his engine it will be theirs and that's when they'll look into it

Head bolts broke and the side of the engine is windowed. It could be from hydro-locking, just saying. Something pushed up on the head, that's for sure and water could do that. I would love to be the one to take that apart. What the piston/head looks like will tell the story.

Just got my ecoboost screw a week ago (first turbo engine I've owned) so forgive me if I am wrong. With the (supposed) water/moisture collection in the air/air intercooler, would there be a possibility of enough water to be pulled through the turbos to cause the hydro-locking? (seriously doubt it, but still throwing it out there...)
