Ford 4.2L Follow-up: Cam Synchronizer/Oil Pump Drive Gear Woes (Part 2/3)

From my understanding Same part is in the Ford 3.8 liter engine also. So good luck finding it. I am buying an entire 4.2 liter engine for $500. And will rebuild and keep it on standby if I need it. The part is worth well more than 500 because it's my business truck. I rebuild the current engine because replacement engine was months out. So the part is worth it for me.

Watching this after seeing the plugged oil filter, I am thinking the mechanical problems were just waiting to happen. It's far easier to stay healthy compared to becoming healthy. Obviously this is difficult for those of us who are not into buying new.
