Hi all, hoping someone can give me a second opinion
I am getting a secondhand engine on my 08 SV6 due to the timing chain being shot in my current engine ($900 for a secondhand one with warranty sounds better than $2000 + for a new timing chain) and I am wondering what your guys opinion is on preventing or at least prolonging timing chain issues in these engines. someone suggested more frequent oil services and to increase the size of the breather hole under the drivers side rocker cover (because the stock hole is tiny compared to the passengers side breather) but looking for second opinions as i mentioned.
leave your thoughts below for me!
