One last question, promise :)
As I stated, I keep my cars forever which is usually 200/300/400k miles. Currently have a 92 Caprice getting close to 400,000 miles and only engine work I did was new timing chain/gears at about 300k miles.
How is the Mustang V6 to work on?
IOW, the usual stuff, water pump,starter,alternator etc but especially the timing chain/gear (what's it got??) set up ?
I plan on getting the factory manual, like I do with all my cars, and like I said I maintain everything myself except for warranty stuff.
The reason I ask is that some guy was telling me that the V6 is a clusterfsck when it comes to timing chains, sprockets etc.
I am totally ignorant of this particular motor, as well as the V8 so with that in mind, and the fact I intend to keep it for a long time, how easy is the basic top engine rebuild stuff?
TIA!!!
Just as a point of reference, I was able to replace a timing chain on a Mitsubishi 2.6 with those wacky balance shafts etc and managed to not screw it up. I can't imagine anything more complicated than that one :)
