Timing chain
I'm working on a 2005 F150 5.4 3 valve, 225,000mi. I can see the cam sprocket thru the oil fill hole in the passenger side valve cover, without the chain on it- I can see the chain sitting behind it. I asked the owner what exactly did it do? Make a hell-of-a-noise, then stop running? They said: 'No all it did is the oil pressure light came on then it started missing. Then it kept dieing on me that’s all it did. The engine light didn’t come on until after it died on me and quit.' I know the 5.4 is an interference engine- my question, I guess, is should I be prepared for the worst? Be ready for a complete teardown?
