Ya know the more I look other than the dude jabbering on about bulletproofing the ecodiesel I can't find anything more than suspicion that the cam gears are an issue.Yesterday I heard that engineering has confirmed that the cam gears are still pressed on like the Gen 2 engines. No keyway to prevent them from spinning. They did not address the #1 problem with those Gen 2 engines.
That's what I was afraid of. They didn't address the problems with this engine, but they did add new potential problem areas. Sigh...
Way more verified reports of soot and failed oil coolers leaking water causing the bottom end to grenade.
Heck there are more verified reports about bad machining leaving burs damaging things than this supposed cam disaster.
I think calling the cam gears the number 1 issue might be a bit extreme.
Now this Ford's that had pressed cams years ago that had something like a high 80s failure rate. That's something to be worries about.
