Usually, timing chains are built to last, but sometimes, due to poor designs and irregular oil changes, they can wear out prematurely. When this happens, you might start noticing issues like check engine lights or rough running. In the Ford 3.5, one common problem is the phaser rattle, which occurs when the camshaft gear responsible for variable valve adjustment wears out due to weak or worn springs.
Recently, we had to replace the timing chain in one of these engines because of this issue. While we were at it, we decided to replace all the components behind the timing cover. Why? Well, getting into that area requires a lot of labor, so we figured it’s better to replace everything that could potentially wear out. This includes not just the timing chain itself but also all the associated parts and gaskets.
It’s all about ensuring your engine runs smoothly and reliably for miles to come!
