[QUOTE="Duncan Kimbro, post: 1037476, member: 68756"] That’s the calculus I’m gong through. I’ve got what I think is probably the rear timing chain rattle. I’m going to try a new tensioner and see if that helps. For the cost of replacing the timing chains and seals/gaskets to fix minor leaks, I can almost replace it with a Ford warranted remanufactured engine, so at the moment, I’m planning to drive until it dies. The cost of new ones chokes me. Even the cost of used 2nd gen STs with moderate miles seems too high. And let’s not discuss insurance. I added a 17-year old boy and a 2016 Fusion to my policy this week. That was a $2000 bump, even with high deductibles. [/QUOTE]
