5.0 for Ford is a pretty solid engine. Surprised at this.

Is it a 5.0L in a truck or a 5.0 mustang? If Mustang, it is very tempting most of the time to thrash the thing, since they are quarter mile torque beasts. If that's the case, maybe your friend has thrashed it too much or redlined it once too often?

It’s in an f150.

The dealer claims the heads are warped.

I’ve heard some of the newer 5.0 have had some defects also since they are no longer pressing cylinder liners in that engine.
