Damn, I hate that designation. The difference in the two engines is one is pushrod, the other overhead cam. Most all modern engines are overhead valve engines.

Ive never checked, but this motor is likely a k mile oil change interval, per Ford, based upon driving conditions. This is prolly a 1 page thread at most. Camshaft is a more aggressive cam for 4. I know from experience that this was a very good motor. Thanks Kerry. Have you tired to trace the wires back on the sohc harness and see if one color goes to each injector. I don't know the maintenance intervals on that engine despite having owned an 08 Ranger But I'd imagine even if it said "replace timing chain s guide and tensioners at k, once people see what's involved it's not going to happen. Id say its likely why things lasted as well as they did. The entire running gear, drivetrain, steering, and suspension Ford also makes an engine that is 4.

Ive driven both motors enough miles to know them through and through. They are thicker and stronger then the Ford castings, are less prone to cracking, and come with new guides. Just curious, so I know what engine is in the truck if I look at them It really is not for the typical back yard mechanic. Traced wires back for injectors on both harnesses and confirmed i had it wired right. The time now is AM. Swapping this motor to the 4wd frame. Want something 4x4, ext cab, auto, and the 4. How can i tell if i have a sohc or ohv? This is as involved as it gets for something as silly as timing chains.
