2005 F150, 5.4 3v, 52,000 miles.
Long story short, my Ford Extended Service Plan just paid $8100 to have a Ford reman longblock put in my truck. Supposedly there was some manufacturing debris found in the chain tensioners which caused head failure...
You can read all about it HERE (and the link within the link).
Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions as far as how to run the motor during the next few hundred miles (hard, easy, etc), as well as when to do the 1st oil change. I'll be sticking with MC 5w20 and FoMoCo filter.
