Broken secondary timing chain
Posted to Technical Discussion Forum on 10/26/2021 12 Replies

Hi all, this Lincoln came in on a hook yesterday with a broken secondary timing chain for bank 2 so the exhaust cam is not spinning. First time we've seen the car and has about 150k on the clock. Just looking for anyone who may have run into this before. Judging by the way the rest of the car looks and lack of service records were guessing its been neglected for most of its life. Do to this we are probably just going to price an engine instead of tearing into it to see what all has been damaged but if he decides to opt out and try and just do chains instead I wanted to know if theres any common failures for this problem and/or if anyone knows if this is an interference engine as we could not find the info anywhere and even calling the ford dealership they could not give us an answer.
