Haha, yeah... They're known to consume oil and I assume the PO didn't realize it ran low and chunked the engine. The sales guys told me the piston skirt punched a hole in the head and I struggled to avoid facepalming.
The firey track thing... Yeah, not fixed. The DIY fix is to put a worm clamp on the oil filter so the worm area will hit the oil filter housing to prevent it from backing off. Ford's fix was to send a custom (VIN engraved) oil filter wrench to owners so they'd actually torque the filter instead of just assuming it was tight.
Thanks man, it's so damn enjoyable. I can see why modern pony cars are so popular
