Per the last guy that worked on it he said the cams were fine, even went as far as taking the cams to a shop to make sure they were straight n such. All the lifters and rockers replaced, but that's as far as he got, he had surgery, and now won't return my calls or texts. So trying to find someone willing to work behind someone else and just put the pieces back together. Not real comfortable messing with the timing chains n whatever else

Had to google where Zebulon is. 3 hours from me. If you can’t find someone and are willing to trailer it down here I could to put it back together.
 
2002 Subaru WRX 348,000+ stage II tune on original engine and head gaskets. Has had timing belt/water pumps replaced several times now. Replaced all coolant and vacuum hoses recently. Had STI suspension and brakes swapped in within the last couple of years just for the fun of it.

2002 Subaru Impreza wagon 220,000 miles purchased with n/a blown motor, unknown problem. Replaced with 40,000 JDM n/a 4 cam for $800.

96 Subaru Legacy with 148,000 miles. Alternator and coil pack failed, other than that nothing beyond regular maintenance but hoses and OEM suspension replaced.

2014 Forester, 108,000 miles. Had complete engine replaced under warranty. Multiple wheel bearings, wheel speed sensors and front control arms replaced due to bushing failure.
 
2010 Ford Fusion 298,000 miles on it. Still my daily driver. It’s had a new transmission and routine stuff other than body repair from deer the wife smacked.

2004 F150 I bought new with 37 miles on it. It’s now got 232k on it. I admittedly don’t drive it nearly as much since I got the car above 8 years ago.

2000 Ford E250 Van, 268k, same engine and trans

1991 Dodge D250 Cummins 5.9 deisel, no idea, odometer quit at 157k long ago. My guess is 210k. No issue on engine or trans. Spent $7700 with many mechanics to fix brake issues after first 15 years.

Toyota Corolla LE, looks brand new, 86k, never an issue

86k is a new car
 
2014 Ford Explorer 110,00- no recall issues to speak

2015 F250 6.7 L 118,000- some stuff here and there, nothing major as far as I'm concerned taking into account it's a diesel.

2014 Honda Odyssey 56K- just replaced a sensor that was no big deal.
 
13 GX460 160k

Sadly had to replace the radiator at 130k, rebuild the trans at 140k, and it’s developed a small coolant leak. All of these are becoming well known issues with the GX as more of them get up there in mileage.
 
2020 Ram Rebel with 75k so far. It’ll need new tires soon I am sure, but looking good so far. Pleasantly surprised to get 75k out of its first set of shoes.
 
2011 tacoma-157k,
Replaced wheel hub bearings twice

-only issue is I’m tossing P0016 code, replaced the cam sensors…Nope…looks like timing chain is needing replaced….,
 
2019 Tacoma 124k Tires and Brakes
2011 Sequoia 155k Tires, Brakes, Waterpump
2015 RAV4 99k, tires and Brakes
2014 Tundra 220k Tires, Brakes and recent Waterpump
2015 Crosstrek 150k, CVT trans at 90k, Front wheel bearing, Climate control cluster recently, tires, brakes
 
2010 Tacoma trd 180k , mine was part of the frame recall. Had it completely rebuilt by Toyota on a brand new frame a few years ago. Wheel bearings were all replaced around 125k. Need to replace the resisters that control fan speed for the AC, they've been out for a year or two now.
 
2014 Ford Escape 130k. New turbo ($3,000 ouch) three months ago. Routine and preventative maintenance done.
2015 Ford Escape 178k. New transmission ($4500) at 145k. Routine and preventative maintenance done.

I have a love/hate relationship with them. They have generally been as reliable as the day is long, but very labor-intensive and therefore expensive to work on. I'm convinced Ford designs their vehicles that way as a means of further income for their dealerships. Also, by having two of them, what happens to one will happen to the other - the proverbial "other shoe" to drop.

I'm slowly looking for a replacement for my 2015, and will likely go with Toyota or Honda, but not having any luck yet. The old "devil you know" adage.

2010 Lexus LX570 205k.
So looking over this thread; what I'm getting is buy a Toyota, or an HD work truck. Sounds about right.

I'm not partial to anything. I work a Fleet of 1000 and a few more light duty vehicles. The maintenance and repair expenditures on Toyotas and Hondas unless they get wrecked are generally way lower than any other comparable model and mileage. However when they fail it's usually really annoying, mechanically sound vehicle with a smoked unavailable ecm or something.
