I SAY THIS TIMING CHAIN GUIDE IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE FORD 4.0 LITRE ENGINE THIS PART SHOULD OF NEVER BROKE OFF!!! THIS IS A INTERNAL PART OF THE ENGINE ! FORD SHOULD HAVE THIS AS A RECALL! THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THIS BREAK DOWN IN THE ENGINE! MY MECHANIC SAID THIS SHOULD OF NEVER HAPPENED! HE SAID THIS TIMING CHAIN GUIDE WAS MADE OF A SOFT ALUMINUM MATERIAL THAT WAS A FAULTY MATERIAL USED IN THIS PART THIS GUIDE WAS MADE OF! NOW IF FORD DON'T COVER THIS DEFECT IT'S GOING TOO COST ME THREE TO FOUR THOUSAND DOLLAR'S TO FIX AND THIS TRUCK WAS VERY EXPENSIVE EDDIE BAUER EDITION AT $28.000.00 THAT ALOT OF MONEY THIS ENGINE SHOULD OF GONE AT LEAST 150 THOUSAND MILES!
