I have a 1994 ford ranger with a 4.0 motor from a 1993 ford explorer. Before the motor was installed I put all new gaskets on the motor and put a timing set off of my old motor that only had roughly 13k miles and put it on the new motor. As I went to drive it for the first time it was really sluggish like i wasn’t firing on all cylinders. I pulled the front of the motor back apart and reset the timing and put new spark plugs in it. When I took it for another test drive the timing gear key way snapped on me. This is the second time I’ve had this brand break. Is there something I’m missing that is causing it or is it the brand I’m dealing with. I get all my parts from O’Reillys, and it’s always the camshaft gear that snaps. Any ideas or advice?
