Timing Chain broke 3.9l ?

[sstinman]

Spent all Saturday putting the car back together in my driveway. Filled up the fluids. It started right up and ran perfect. I prayed a lot before we turned the key though.
Thanks to everyone who offerred advice.

To sstinman thanks for your help, sorry to hear your's didn't work out to well.

Glad yours was a success. Sounds like you had more to work with. I still think we were working with a doctored engine from the start. The timing chain fix worked and ran. I just think the block or head are cracked and was rigged to get it out of sight. It may be just a head gasket. Either way I just want it GONE. I am not going into it again. Right now it will start and run until it warms up then you get a "smoke machine". He is selling as "a car that needs engine work."
Happy Motoring

I think you hit on the head what the kid stepped into and bought. I wouldn't do that to anyone else no matter what the loss. He will just have to take his lumps and learn to be a smarter car buyer.
