[QUOTE="IronSnake, post: 16193058, member: 46336"] Timing sets in the 2.7 are falling apart. Couple friends are master techs. I won't touch it. Nor do I think the 3.5 is a long term 200k+ mile motor. Way too complicated, and it's inevitable that I'd need to put turbo seals in it/replace 600 vacuum/oil/coolant lines. I'm a V8 truck man. Clearly Ford can't make one worth two shits. I left the lot with my foot in it. I drive the crap out of this thing all the time. I've built a lot of small block Ford's, and no doubt, you need to seat the rings. But whatever design they've used is trash. I'm waiting to hear back today from the dealership what I can get going. I'll put the wife in a new eco car to run around town in. I'm probably going to pickup a 01' ish silverado with a 5.3. Even with 200k+ mi [/QUOTE]
