My Ford reman engine (rebuilt by AER of Dallas) was the biggest steaming pile the world has ever seen. Customer support from Ford and the dealer was almost zero. I have learned this much: any engines I install with either be used, or built by me, or (in the case of a beater) won't matter.
I would troll around online and see if there's any dirt on the Ford reman you intend to purchase. I'd still put a used/takeout engine in it...for cost and quality reasons.

Any Idea what the PO did for oil and filter, and how often?
Thats really the only thing that would cause this.
Just don't forget, Motorcraft FL820 filter and Motorcraft 5w20 oil on the new engine.
