The design of the engine is poor in terms of the plastic timing chain guide cassettes which will eventually break causing engine failure. However, I maintained my engine well, did frequent oil changes, and got almost 200,000 miles of hard work out of this engine before it died. This truck DID IT ALL. Off road driving, racing, towing, you name it. Very pleased with this engine and vehicle until it died. R.I.P. Dora.
