This page does not seem to be written from a neutral viewpoint. All of the cam problem links link to the same very biased webpage, (www.v8sho.com) and much of the article makes the engine and Ford sound like they are trash. This needs to be changed.

I agree that all of the links at the bottom of the page point to one webpage and should probably be consolidated, but my paragraph on the cam problems seems fairly neutral, and I did point out that cam problems aside, the engine seems to be a good one. I don't think there is any debate that Ford made a mistake in their manufacturing process and their subsequent handling of the cam issue, ie: ignore it and hope it goes away. As far as changing, fire away! Your changes will either stand or fall, hopefully on their merits.--MARQUIS111 14:07, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The article is about different engines. It should be split up. Ford currently has no engine named a Yamaha V-8.Thomas Paine1776 00:23, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Derided by the press

[edit]

This nothingburger of an engine was derided by the press as being pointless as it offered a rather small power gain versus the old V6 engine. It was almost as if to say "Wow!! What's next??? A twin-turbo V12 with 255 horsepower???". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.215.54.124 (talk) 01:24, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article clean-up

[edit]

I cleaned up the article a bit, mainly rewriting for clarity and consistency and removing everything about the Volvo/Yamaha engine that the article itself admits is unrelated. --typhoon (talk) 10:50, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
