99 xjr w/ newer sleeved engine
Engine has 77k on it new sleeved engine cars ran great! Other day I'm on the tollroad 90-100 mph
Get off drove at street speed for about 5 mi. at a stop light engine starts running rough then dies. Dealer says may be timing chain. When I start car it won't stay running for long (5 secs or so) and has loud rattle. I don't hear or feel rod knock.
Any ideas??
p.s. If the timing chain is broke does it stand to reason that the valves will be damaged therefor the rattles?

RE: 99 xjr w/ newer sleeved engine
Yep genius, I think I'm going to send them one. They're quoting $1500 total to do a block. I don't know what AutoSports gets to do sleeves, butthe machine shop I usewould have trouble doing it for less than that.
Nice to finally find a forum that has some pros on board!
