This is a video of my conversion motor after it was "timed" by the local Ford dealership.
They now claim the motor has "piston slap" and was bad to start with. I still think the bottom end is fine, but there are obviously some issues with the top end. What do you think? The 2.5L was an early 98. The 3.0L is a 2000 Duratec.
