I have bought a 1996 Taurus SHO and a couple of weeks down the road the one of the back cams froze up and the valves drop to the pistons. Not to happy to buy a SHO and end up having to rebuild the motor at a hundred thousand not good. I see you have a law suit involved with the faulty cams if I can help let me know my name is Kevin Hetherington and my email address is shoplus@msn.com.
Thanks
Kevin
