[QUOTE="Jeffksf B, post: 1006811, member: 65145"] It's more then likely the timing chains, there are 3 of them in this motor. I know plenty of members here with way more mileage then that on their original timing chains. It's a very labor intensive job to do and you end up putting the same plastic parts back in. So in conclusion, run it till it dies, which more then likely will be after your done with it. I had them changed under warranty on my 01 Ranger and they had the truck for nearly a month because the Ford techs couldn't even do it right. They screwed up and had to have both heads rebilt and machined. I run 5w30 in the winter and 10w30 in the summer and that helps. [/QUOTE]
