It never has been crank whip. I was shouted down from HIGH heavens when I told terry he was wrong. I was working for 8 months with the SVT guys the Duratec design guys and 6 Sigma guys from deep within Ford.
Personally I give anything terry says a D+ grade right from the start. He has never given me any concrete info to support his claims. He has never been able to deny any of the problems my car had and the results that ths SVT/and other FoMoCo guys came up with.
I have my own feelings about duratecs, and most of their failures, I also have the word of one of the head designers. Its NOT crank whip, and at least in my own personal enigne its not "abrasive" buildup.
