Did the 2021 5.0L engines switch to bonded hub dampeners?

[Hivel]

Got a new Gen 3 Coyote engine for this season and the dampener doesn’t look like my 2018 Coyote. The new motor has a Mustang intake; but, the timing cover looks like an F150. The cover has number “003” on it. My 2018 timing cover has the number “026”.

Have any 2021 GT owners seen this style of dampener?

I think the dampener changed in 20

My 19 looks like that but the engine was replaced in December of 20.

Just in case someone else has this same concern...
I confirmed the dampener and timing cover are the same as a 2018 GT350. So, I think it’s gonna be OK.

I am curious why Ford ditched the 2018-2019 viscous dampener. But, it really doesn’t matter. Time to send it.

Cheers,

The answer is usually cost related.
