Yep, its done. They replaced the timing chains, crank seal, and spark plugs while they had it out, in addition to my failed water pump. There is a special place in hell for whoever designed this engine... Here it is!

My Explorer is a 2013 Interceptor Utility model, retired DRPS here in Canada. Despite the mileage, it drives excellent and idles so smooth, you have to check its running. It really is in great condition. They took great care of this one. Having said that, it has 229,000 kms / 142,000 miles...

Ya, I talked to the shop foreman, and he said its up to the tech, but he says its easier to drop the motor and do it that way, and quicker he claims. I saw those vids on YT. FYI, the water pump is on national back order, and they don't have any idea of when they can get one. Its on emergency...
