06 Mustang GT engine problems	Sign In

I have a 2006 Mustang GT 4.6L, the oil spilled out on the highway due to oil filter having a double gasket because I didn't see the old one still on there. Car was knocking then stopped to put oil in but engine light stayed on. Went to Ford and they said The right cylinder head burned out while driving and had grooves inside. They said I would be better off purchasing a new engine because it is unknown if other parts are affected on engine. What would you suggest? Buy new engine or repair damaged one? Which is cheaper?

In all honesty it would be cheaper to get another engine. The labor to overhaul, machining, and replacement of the cylinder head and what ever else will probably exceed the cost of an entire engine.

Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Bummer. ALWAYS CHECK FOR THAT GASKET ON OLD FILTER and that nothing is on the surface for new ones. Damn. Silly oil filter can take out your whole engine and did like the guys said,
