Terry or Judge,
Would you care to explain the origin and reason for the following three pictures:

Bradness,
The 2.5's for the Cougar (2002) were built and stored long before EOP of the Cougar..so not much chance of getting them fitted.Production of the 2.5 and final build up of Jag Duratecs went to Bridgend in Wales ,UK over 18 months ago from Cleveland.Why do you think all the dampers are in England?...For the Mondeo....The 2.5 in USA is 'dead'....I first saw these dampers on 'Ford of Europe' ...'Power Products' engines during a vist to UK in 2001....

So is there any possiblity of a secret TSB/recall or whatever it's called?? Be nice if Ford would at least offer the damper here. The Vendor is where, here or Europe?
Thanks
Paul
Mine is making this whomping sound while cranking now days??? (Cold start) 98 LS ATX built(07/97). oil level @ "A" on the word MAX. Mobil 1 5w-30 could just be the chains/tensinor not upto pressure? FL -820s
Seems run run just fine, however half affraid to rev it very hard anymore?

We now have dampers in stoc...HMS Inc

I didn't harrass you, or at least I didn't mean to.

Auctioning them off on eBay is the same thing as doing it here. Somebody that would find one on eBay wouldn't buy it because they wouldn't know WHY they would want one unless they read the forums.

Seems like it IS because of 'money', and not because you're doing a 'favor' to some CEGers... A favor would be selling them for $90 a pop and do it as a first come first serve basis.

As I've been told by a fellow moderator, my first post w/ the eBay link was a bit 'harsh', so ignore that.

Nothing against you. I won't buy one, so I'll just shuddup for now. I'll let you know when my engine grenades itself.

/not trying to be an a$$, just stating what I think

Puppy: Your comment that "the data is out their."(sp) is precisely what I'm requesting-THE DATA. All along, I used terms like "in my opinion", "I'd be happy to change my mind if...", etc., etc.

There's no need to haze over your comments with the "red mist". Just give me the info. I've asked for so I can change my mind. I do not have access to proprietary OEM info. as you claim to. My Duratec experience is exclusively "real-world", not test bench, dyno cell, etc.

Refer to my last post, answer all the questions I've asked (if you can) and I'll be happy to reconsider. Sorry if I'm repeating myself.

Terry,

will this be a regularly stocked item in the future, or are the 'supplies limited'.

Eventually I wouldn't mind one once I do my 3.0 swap...

John

Yes we have 'stocs' & can restock within 24 hrs...

Good stuff, thanks.

John

WOOHOO....he is finally gonna shuddup :p
