[QUOTE="rwbenner, post: 1048810, member: 77842"] Hey folks, general question for the group. I have a Gen1, and I’m looking for another Gen1 as I’m familiar with working on them….but I understand there was a timing chain issue of some sort with the 2001 Sport Tracs that was fixed by 2002, or perhaps during the late model 2001 tracs? Anyway, is there an easy way to tell the difference in the engines of the 2001 to know if the timing chain issue was redesigned? I do find a lot of 2001s for sale, but I don’t want to inherit this problem. I think I read somewhere once that the earlier version had a pretzel shaped intake manifold, but not sure if this had anything to do with the redesigning the time in chain. Just looking for a definitive answer. Thanks all, Merry Christmas! Randy [/QUOTE]
