So, my '02 4.0L ST Oil pump locked up and broke the oil pump drive shaft. OK, time to pull the engine.
Since I'm gonna have the engine out, I'm gonna do the timing Chains and guides, etc. (125K on engine, very clean inside, no guide chips...but wth, might as well do it since the engine's out).
Question: FORD wants ~ $1000 for the Chains and Guides,
NAPA wants $500 for their kit.
eBay has kits for $100-$200, AND some of them include the water pump and oil pump!

Are these any good or should I stick with NAPA?
Anyone used one? Thanks! Doogie
