Yeah, it was only available for VW SOHC engines. I think belt drive SOHC engines because the cam gear is big enough to house the weights.
Frank, I wonder too. Spring advance has been used for decades in distributors without major problems. The complexity issue doesn't add up because DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder with VVT or vtech or something is certainly more complex. Must not have gone OEM because greater gains were had in just going to 4 valve heads with VVT in the future.
Ford put alot of re-development into the 2.3 (S)OHC engine when everyone else was deep in to a parellel line of DOHC engines. This item seems like logical develoment that should have happened if a MFR was sticking with SOHC for some time.
