I know a older lady selling her 2008 Mazda b4000 v6 4.0 4x4 with 115000 km She bought the truck new and always brought it to a ford dealer for her matiance ....I live in a small town and only have a ford dealer..She didn’t realize the oil was a little low and it caused the timing chain to losein and skip or one of the timing chains failed ..I’m not sure what side is the problem..The truck starts but runs rough..She was told by ford it wasn’t worth fixing so she bought a new vehicle form then ..She is now selling it for $1500 Canadian..This think Doesn’t have a spot of rust ,Brand new tires and new backrack and a newer push bumper..It won’t need much for a certification..My question is after doing a bunch of reading and looking at corsponding pictures it seems to be quite the job ..Is there a way to tell what side the timing chain has failed ? I really want to buy it but not sure If I will be able to fix it if the engine needs to be pulled ..If It’s only the right side from what I read it can be fixed with the engine in the try..Any help would be appreciated..
