$6k quote for head gaskets on 4.0 SOHC?


I guess it isn't critical since the motors coming out for head gaskets at the least anyway. Fwiw, I started it before work this morning and it ran great with no ticking.

Maybe it's just the tensioners that use oil pressure to operate are wearing out then.

Chain guides should be making noise whether it's warm or cold.
 
Yeah it caught me off guard because it's never made that sound. I guess if all goes to plan I should do the whole timing setup on this motor as well this winter. I'm not looking forward to it but what are you going to do?

And new tensioners at least on the donor motor?
