I think I figured out what your talking about now on this. We've just never seen it get that bad. We've seen the valve stem stem pounding thru the cam follower. But that makes a lot of noise, I wonder how long you have to go with that thing clacking to get to where that shitbox is at.
I think if the spacer in the bucket is pounding through the keeper has already started to move or the clearance was way off
It pisses me off that they built this special engine for Rover if they had juist used the already proven coyote this would have been a spectacular vintage of Rover
If my engine ever blows up I'd coyote swap the truck. It'll probably bolt right in.
I was thinking about what you said about the keeper moving down the shaft of the valve. That kind of explains the whole thing. If the keeper was moving down the valve stem and the valve was sticking up higher than the spring retainer. it could explain the whole pushing the valve thru the cam follower. Like you said it doesn't happen often, but now I think I understand that whole failure a little better. Thanks for that.
The 5.0 debuted in 2011 in the Mustang, F150, and Falcon. It uses port injection and runs on 87 octane.

I think direct injection adds a lot of expensive repairs and maint. If I could get that much power out of a regular old port fuel injection system I would want it.
I was looking at that BMW V8 that Rovers gonna run. It's got the exhaust manifolds up in the center. Between the two banks. twin turbo chargers up there too. Then the intake manifolds are down where you usually see the exhaust manifold. I'm sure some of you have seen that shit before but this is a first for me. It's also got a gasoline particulate filter. That's another thing I've never dealt with. Do you think its going to do a regeneration like a diesel particulate filter system does? And get all restricted too?

Ferrari has used dual ECU setups since at least the F360...

The Ferrari 360 uses two Bosch 0261204841 ECU's, one ECU controlling each bank.
