I&#039;ll show you how to do it yourself with tools just about any home mechanic should have. The odometer reads less than 26K miles on this engine. I&#039;ve had this 1997 Ford E350 Jamboree Sport Motorhome for 10 years. I started the engine only to discover an internal knocking noise. I removed the front of the engine to find one of the timing chain guides was missing. Was able to locate a few pieces of metal from the front of the oil pan but would need to remove it to find out more. Watch this video to see all the internal damage and help determine just how junk this engine is. I did find two rods broken in half along with fragmented pistons and wrist pins.
