Good luck getting a phaser for that engine.....I need to do that repair as well.....All phaser are not available right now even from Ford....I did find a dealer that had 2 (old stock) ones but I have elected to wait until the new redesigned parts come out ??

Good luck finding exhaust phasers for that engine ..........I have found here in N. America all phasers have been pulled off the shelves.....Apparently they have /will re-design new ones & of course are not available right now.... I did find a local dealer that had 2 in stock but when I asked him if it was the new design he said no (it was a secret till I asked)...I have elected to wait for the new ones !!

Appears the guy on the head line de-burred it and deemed it OK. I'm guessing it's on the surface.
