[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1014720, member: 52972"] Amazing how hindsight is always 20/20 :grin: It's a shame that consumers could not be warned of the possible consequences of this SOHC design before they invested money in buying vehicles. Ford as well as other auto makers have deliberately designed vehicles with defects or flaws that they appear to be "Designed Obsolescence". Ford was known to do this way back in the 1960's when they made the oil drainage holes in the cylinder heads of their V8's too small. This resulted in much of the oil being retain in the cylinder heads causing valve seal leakage and starving the cam and crankshaft bearings of lubrication. My question is why was this obvious engineering defect not mentioned when the SOHC 4.0 L engice was introduced????:btddhorse: I would think that Ford engineers knew this was a potential problem :banghead: ...Rich [/QUOTE]
