I have a 2000 sport with the infamous 4.0 sohc. I knew about the rear tining chain issues but the motor ran smooth when I bought it a month ago. What I thought was a lash adjuster going bad has been figured by my mechanic as a bad rear timing chain tensioner. It has 143,000 mile and needs body and suspension work so I'm not sure its worth the money to have the motor pulled and the new gear put in. Anybody just keep driving theirs with a bad tensioner/ cassette? Any ideas how long I could get away with just driving it?
