Reliablity of an '03 4.2L?
I'm about ready to pull the trigger on an 03 4.2 w/nav S type. To my understanding they are the same engine as theproblematic '00-'024.0s. The new 4.2s now use forged pistons, different heads and exhaust manis. Did they ever fix that plastic timing chain tensioner? Do you still need to remove the intake manifold to replace the spark plugs/routine maintenance? Is removing the intake mani that hard? Do you need to scrape off the gasket and use a new one? Any other overall reliablity problems with the early 4.2s? Thanks!
