Pistons were full float wrist pins by the 2000 in all modulars. Its possible the pistons got 1.2mm thick rings from 1.5mm(not 100% sure, but possible). The timing reluctor is definitely stamped steel and way better than the powder metal cracked prone version.Now one of Ford quality parts for your platform that im not sure about is the timing chain tensioners. I do know for certainty the exploders with modulars came with plastic chain tensioners. These plastic tensioners were a guaranteed to self emplode, destroying an engine. Maybe lwarrior can confirm if plastic or the better cast iron tensioners were used in his lincoln. I dont recall what year his is, but the man is an encyclopedia of knowledge and one of lifes best kept secrets. We here at sn95forums are lucky the man graces us with his presence....But....and maybe you need to investigate what tensioners you have in detail....if your car came plastic tesioners, you need to be swaping them out asap.</blockquote>
