Alarming spalling failures on 7.3 Godzilla

IMO, this isn't necessarily an "either/or" materials issue. There are many other factors which will slowly play out as the facts (from more failed engines, not RV.net comments) present themselves. There is some evidence that the failing engines have spent a lot of time at idle where the oil pressure is very low compared to normal driving. Extreme pressure wear additives in oil have also recently changed. The camshafts and roller lifters are one of the most highly stressed friction points in internal combustion engines which is where the failures occur. Let's see where the EVIDENCE leads us.

That is if any evidence, other than a few yewboob videos, ever comes to light.

After spending 5 years in training, serving a 6 month apprenticeship and then WORKING at a Ford dealer for several years, often DIRECTLY with the Ford Factory Warranty Claims Representatives, (granted, it was years ago) I can offer a little direct experience here. (something YOU don't have) I've seen several "yewboob" (your words, not mine) videos showing major camshaft/lifter damage on the 7.3. The technicians said that when the Ford Factory Warranty Claims Service People were notified, there was a new palletized 7.3 liter long block ($$$$$$$$) DELIVERED (from Ford Factory Warranty Claims) to their shop, . . . THE NEXT DAY. (not the only one) Think about that!

Let's see how this plays out. The internet "neener neener" group isn't helpful at all.
