Without the piston there wasn't anything to draw anything into the cylinder and the block had some pressure to balance it; and, yea it had some vibrations and was burning a bit oil fumes but it ran and if you didn't run the AC it would make speed on the interstate which was 55 MPH at the time.

Thinking on it further, when the exhaust valve opened, the pressure would pressurize the crankcase. Then when the intake valve opened, that pressure would partially bleed off into the intake manifold. That should have upset the carburation drastically, which is probably why the dealer decided on the multiple carburetor dips. It is beyond me as to why the dealer had never done a pressure test on the intake manifold in almost 100K miles. I would think the OBD2 should have been throwing a MAP P0106 code. Ford got off cheap just replacing the engine. You should have gotten a new vehicle for all the trouble.

Were it me, I would be looking for a different dealership.
