Hello I'm the not so proud owner of a 1998 V8 ford Taurus SHO. Before I
owned this car I owned a 91 SHO PLUS and I loved it I wish I still had
it however it seams now that I've done a little research I've found that the
newer SHOs have chronic camshaft problems a little too late for this SHO.
As I was headed down I-95 I began to hear a slight clicking sound as I
slowed and was about to pull off a horrible sound emitted form under the hood
and the car shut down.
When I got it home $120 towing bill later I discovered that the sprocket
has spun off the cam itself and has caused total loss as far as I can
tell.
Well enough about my horror story the question I wanted to ask is
who should I contact about this Ford or Yamaha as I want to express my
displeasure of the poor quality of this motor. Its a true shame. I
wondered why they killed off the SHO like they did cause I was used to
the just plain beauty of the Yamaha V6 but its obvious this V8 is total
crap and Ford, Yamaha or both knew it PLEASE HELP!!!! I WANT MY 91 any
information on how to contact Ford or Yamaha about this problem would be
helpful thank you for all you time _____________________
