My daughter was looking for her first car. I had a friend who had a well maintained 2003 4.4 with 129K that happened to have the timing chain tensioners go. (Well maintained other than the timing chain guides, lol) Unfortunately he drove it home a number of blocks...
Got it cheap enough and found a good decent mileage block for cheap. The idiot I bought the used block from had attempted to use what looked like some type of epoxy/gasket sealer on the OUTSIDE of every oil leak on the engine...
Completely disassembled it to inspect and sent the heads to the shop to have them inspected. Replaced 2 guides and valves.
Just got the timing chain and front cover on it last weekend. So I'm feeling your pain.
