John,
How about we go get a timing belt and put it on? What's the worse that can happen? It still doesn't work. Then we have more reason to move toward the 3.0L dream!!!!
I need one for my car anyway. If it doesn't work, we have got to pull the engine to do the Duratec, so take the belt off and put it on my car. All we are out is labor, and I buy the belt...
If we could find someone with a scope we could check to see if there is any damage without pulling the head.
Long weekend coming up...
