Glad to hear you're happy with your purchase, and welcome to the forum.

I must ask though that you keep in mind the age of the thread you are considering posting to, and try not to resurrect a thread that is more than 8 months or so old (since the latest post).

so not the duratec.

The 3.2L was introduced for the 1993 model year and only available with the automatic transmission. In 1996, with the significantly redesigned exterior, Ford switched to the V8 which had problems with the cam gears walking. A common preventive repair was to weld the cam gear to the camshaft to prevent the walking. You didn't want just anyone doing this though as it was possible to warp critical parts and end up in worse shape than before starting the weld job.

It appears that it's time to close this thread....
