Need a used engine 4.6is - any suggestions

[smwmustang]

Hey guys,

After a really long story of 3 months in the shop and the mechanic ruining my engine, the shop is now going to either replace the heads or put in an engine.

Two questions, does anyone make a remanufactured engine for this vehicle or is there a place to look for a used one.

After replacing the timing chain the mechanic did not bother to check the oil pump and it was clogged with the plastic chain guide that got torn up...short end....the vehicle was driven multiple times with no oil pressure or oil in the engine. Shop replaced all the lifters but it still sounds terrible. Engine seems to run really good but just an amount of time before it goes out. Appears now that the cam is off somewhere causing the clicking noise since it has new lifters.

Such a nightmare but the shop did take responsibility for it. Too bad it took 3 months to figure out it needed heads or an engine. Who knows what all has gotten damaged.

If you really want to know the 3 month cycle of events just ask.

New timing chain and guide
New fuel pump
New lifters
New gaskets
New oil sperator

and now new heads or more.

Thanks

Shawn
