[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1400016, member: 35543"] Warranty still applies unless the failure is related to the modifications. In your case, modifications will not cause cam phaser failure in the TSB. The phasers themselves were the issue. I recommend finding a dealer with good reviews and having it repaired. Although much of the hesitancy to go to the dealer is warranted, the majority of technicians out there are experienced and do quality work. These are guys who literally tear down engines every day and have memorized every bolt location, torque spec, and labor operation procedure. They work flat rate, so if they get a come back it's on their dime. In other words, if they don't time it right and it sets codes, it's on them to fix for FREE. If they don't follow the Workshop Manual procedure to reseal the front cover with the specified RTV, its on them to fix for FREE. Nobody likes working for free, and good technicians don't stay employed at dealerships by doing poor work. Workmanship mistakes cost everything - the customer's satisfaction, the service department's profit, and the technicians pay. None of that is good for a dealer or technician. [/QUOTE]
