[QUOTE="rschap1, post: 1836264, member: 60507"] SORRY Not a for sale classified Didn't want to post under other categories. I looked at a really nice 2007 Lincoln MKX on my way home from work tonight. Close to home and cheap for what it is, $2000 I need a "winter beater" to keep my Raptor (and Bronco) from getting ate up by chloride covered roads here in MI. Wondered if anyone here (since I have gotten so much AWESOME info and help on everything else Ford relate I have asked) had any ideas.. Owner/seller says that she over revved an otherwise really nice MKX a while ago and now it "makes noise". 10+ other perspective buyer looked at it before I got there and told her it needs engine, "rod out", "needs piston". I was guessing that they were telling unknowing seller worst case. Started right up. No codes or lights on. No denying, loud "clatter". Speed didn't sound like bottom end. I was thinking collapsed cam follower, or broken spring... It wasn't missing like it was broken, dropped valve. Sounded like all 6 cylinders were still firing. Owner only let it run a minute or two. But sounded like everything was "hitting" just LOUD noisy clatter. Could tell it was obviously the RH most (passenger side) rear most cylinder. Had thoughts that I may be able to pull the plastic intake, valve cover, and do some sort of "quick fix"... I got no intention or desire to get into a major repair, like engine swap. BUT, being the CHEAP @$$ ba$+@rd that I am. Would love to pick something like this up cheap and get it fixed in an afternoon. Wondered if anyone had any experience seeing the top end of an Edge / MKX or anything else that uses one of these 3.5s? Any common things that sound similar to this thing? Am I way off and a bunch of these do throw rods/pistons? Like the title...I know way out there...just wondered. Thanks for any input, even guesses ! ! ! [/QUOTE]
