Hi, I'm from England and I've aquired a brand new SOHC Explorer engine that was built in 2000 and I have been told that these engines have problems with the timing chain or timing chain guards, is this correct and would an engine that was built in 2000 have been modified at the factory. What are the faults with these engines and what do I need to do to rectify them. I am a mechanic so I do know my way around an engine but I have never worked on one of these. Many thanks.
 






Yeah, the problem is the timing chain guides. I believe there are updated guides and chain for purchase. Do a search on the board and find out more.
