2002 4.6 V8: I've been hearing noise coming from the front passenger side of the engine consistent with what may be broken guides for the timing chain. I had the chain and everyrhing replaced less than 2 years ago. Hoping this is not happening again. One of the reasons I kept the truck when other things went wrong figuring the chain should be good for another 100k.
Anyway, when I removed.the valve.cover.to.check.for maybe a lifted problem, I could see some of the chain and sprocket but not much else. From what I could.see it looked intact. Is there a way to properly inspect the chain and guide without pulling things apart?.
The chain broke on me before, but if was just the guides this time, any ballpark on costs?
