Ray Hansen - Cam Failure

new 7/17/02


Tim

I e-mailed you about three weeks ago about having a possible cam failure. I just confirmed that I did have a slave sprocket on the right hand side exhaust cam fail. Initial estimates are $4 to $5 Thousand and that is not taking into consideration other engine damage. I called NHSTA and also FOMOCO. FOMOCO says there is nothing they can do for me.

Ticking noise for about 300 miles before cam shaft failed. Engine quit while coming down mountain highway. No brakes, No Power Steering. Scary !!!!!


called 1-800-392-Ford, Said they have not heard of this problem and could not help me.

Dealer confirmed cam shaft sprocket failure, I confirmed cam shaft sprocket failure, Estimate-$4 to $5 thousand FOMOCO can assist in helping pay for repairs to make me a satisfied Ford owner
