You should see the gnashing of teeth over there because I dared to say that the Chrysler 4.7 is an unreliable engine.

Lol! Teeth gnashing. You throw out an uninformed comment without anything backing it up and when someone with years of experience with the engine disputes it you call gnashing of teeth? I guess if that make you feel good....

No, they are not. They are an overhead cam engine and it is possible the guides wear but they are not "bad" for jumping time. I own two vehicles with this engine, one (2003) with 160K miles and one (1999) with 260K miles. Both on original chains and guides.

It is a proven, reliable, powerful and efficient engine. It was a fantastic replacement to the 318.

Funny guy 😜
