Greetings everyone.
I'm new here but i've been lurking the forum for quite some time now.
I have an 2002 Explorer 4.0 with 242,000 miles on it. Recently the timing chains started rattling badly and I need to fix the issue as soon as possible. The thing is my mechanical knowledge is very limited and I don't know weather is better to replace the timing chains with a full tune up or just replace the engine for a newer one with fewer miles.
I'll really appreciate your help and opinions.
Thanks a lot in advance.
