Thanks Charles. I was not aware of the crank carrier issue and have never seen the internals of these engines. That big heavy DMFW hanging off the end of the crank right beside the RMS got me wondering.....

I would like to keep my 2000 3.2 from ever developing problems if I can..

Take care

I concur with Charles' statements. These days the RMS leaks are few and far between. Much more significant failures are taking the engines out of service.

The LWFW continually creates problems for these engines related to harmonic dampening.

Thanks Jake.....hopefully I will be able to install the L and N IMS retrofit to give me some insurance. I would think this actually the most common issue.....if things go bad I will be calling you, although I kind of want a 3.6 now!

Do you have any test cars or customers yet? I sure would like to hear what a Box is like with this power..
