Well ...a little over 307,000 miles on my 4.0L SOHC and I've gotten the infamous start-up chain rattle.

[QUOTE="Evox, post: 1042804, member: 74754"] I understand many Land Rover, Mercury, and Ford guys don't like the Ford 4.0L SOHC design, but personally, I think it's a fine engine. If it comes down to rebuilding the engine, it will probably cost me no more than $1200 - $1,500 (I haven't priced it all out), maybe less depending on what machine work I get done. I get "friend" prices in that area. I could probably find a reman engine for $2500-$3000. But I rather enjoy doing my own work. And this isn't my first rodeo. Not even with this engine. I helped a buddy rebuild his '05 LR3 some years back, which has a Ford Cologne in it. I should have the tensioners in hand this afternoon. I'm betting that's all it is. But even so, as I wrote above, this rarely ends with a [B][I]sudden[/I][/B] catastrophic failure as long as it's not ignored for a long period of time. [/QUOTE]
