[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1043799, member: 74901"] For years 1997~2011, the Ford V6~4.0L~SOHC engine block is the same. Various items external to the block evolved\changed thru those years: Manifold, Radiator, ThermoStatHousing... The JackShaft LeafSpring TimingTensioner & above two CamShaft OilPressurized TimingTensioners were redesigned\revised\improved around 2001, but a Tensioner that fits a 2011 SOHC block will fit a 1997 SOHC block. Experienced mechanics understandably don't like this engine & its bastardized RightRear\LeftFront CamShaft TimingChains; this flaw was likely the 'last nail in the coffin" for Ford\Cologne V6 designs dating to the 1960s.
