That's what the tech thinks too. He can see cylinder wall damage with the bore scope. I'm just doing everything Ford asks. On simple highway miles during the Shelby Bash before we ever put it on the track it was burning oil and blowing smoke when off the gas at highway speed.

Known to do this at cold start up also. Good luck with the issue and good to see you are happy with the progress and handling of the process.

It will be interesting to see what they finally learn.  I would guess from what I see in the racing world, is that most of the oil is being sucked through the intake from the cam covers.  These cars pump an amazing amount of oil on the valve train.  Under extreme use of the Boss race cars, I've seen a lot of oil in the catch cans from the cam covers.  I've seen the Ford engineers at the races working to solve this also with different cam covers, etc.  They should put a couple oil catch cans/filters in line of the breather tubes and see what they get on your car.  Maybe you can suggest that.
