Ah...it is good to have that confirmation, although my car has no rattling sounds at 54,000 kms. Given that my car was built in February 2014, I think we can assume that any F-Type V6 built in 2014 or later (and possibly every F-Type built from 2013 on) has the stronger chains. And this is why we hear almost no cases of chain issues for the 6 cylinder engines.

 

Just found this on the InterWebz: https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2...nes-fail.shtml
Getting on to three years now, I wonder if there has been any progress or update?
It also seems to apply only to the V8 with no mention of the AJ126 V6.
Last but not least, this quote: "The automaker sent technical service bulletins to dealerships between 2013 and 2015, ...".
Does anyone have copies of these TSBs????

 

I just came across this very good article on the timing chain issues in AJ engines. Lots of good info, from 2019…

Note that it briefly discusses why it’s bad to turn the crankshaft backwards, which was mentioned in another thread.
