Sorry, I didn't use the right wording there, I actually had a used motor put in, it had 95k on it. The owner before me just had the chain guides replaced, and didn't clean out the oil pan. Last time I did interstate driving, all the little plastic pieces were sucked up against the little filter in the pan, thus blocking the oil flow, so I spun the crankshaft bearings, ruined the crankshaft, and scratched the cylinder walls. So I located another motor in WI from Diamond Auto Parts, (they are actually parting out a grey 4.6) and got it shipped in and installed. Now I'm just trying to make sure I take care of this motor, as I never want to do that again..!
