    I believe BMW bikes did too. Ford Taurus HO engines did too. The HO engine was built by Yamaha.

        The Ford SHO Taurus of the late 90's had the Yamaha V8 built motor. The current generation SHO Taurus is an entirely different beast. V6 Twin Turbo.

          The early V6 HO was Yamaha also.

                      Somebody sent me valve shims, and I never sent back the ones I took out. Who was that? Can you PM me your address?
