So the Ford Taurus SHO with the Yamaha engine used a taped fit on the cam sprockets and eventually they would come loose and trash the engine. The Hellcats have a taper fit on the crank pulleys and they are known to spin.
My question is why do some manufacturers use a taper fit and not have a traditional keyed sprocket or pulley? Is it weight, balance or something else?
