Oh you mean like how frpp had to replace exhaust manifolds because they kept cracking at the track attack and engines failing because of oil pressure issues left & right. Do ya wanna talk about how kooks had to add an exhaust dampener to the header so it wouldn’t rattle apart. Or how every single gt350 i drove had a Harmonic vibration at a different rpm. Ford did a good job with the restrictions they had but to act like these engines don’t have long term NVH due to it’s weird firing order is just ignorantI've never heard of a single Voodoo blowing up. I put 33,000 trouble free miles on mine.
I have heard of 2019s with bad valves. And I believe that the piston rings and piston skirts are somewhat fragile. Especially the rings in the first few years of production. Possibly some rings may have been damaged during assembly, causing early oil consumption. Or there may have been flaws in the PTWA cylinder bores. Or the oil consumption in some cases might be due to excessive idling/not driving the car hard.
I knew a local guy that had two engine replacements on two different GT350s due to the cars using excessive oil. Not sure why that happened. Was it related to how he drove the car? Did he get really unlucky somehow? I wouldn't be surprised if there are a significant number of Voodoo oil consumption cases caused by how the owner drove the car.
I disagree with your NVH thing. I'm not sure I've heard of a single failure of a stock engine related to NVH. HoneyBadger's crank snout broke, but he had an aftermarket balancer on the car and the engine also had a bunch of mods. Plus that car was used really hard on track.
Are you trying to say that NVH caused oil consumption for some people? If so, can you please explain your theory on failure mode?
I'm not saying there were no failures or that the Voodoo is a perfect engine by any means. I just don't see how NVH could have caused any of the issues I've heard of.
To me the biggest flaw in the Voodoo was that Ford didn't sell enough GT350s.
Right a rocking couple not causing NVH issues Lmfao
