2002 Taurus Wagon valves won't hold pressure Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Engine Troubleshooting amylynn6 New User Jul 27, 2010, 7:40 PM Post #1 of 3 (1323 views) 2002 Taurus Wagon valves won't hold pressure Sign In I have a 2002 Taurus wagon with almost 180,000 miles on it. In February I got a new timing chain on (my mechanic said it would fix the problem of a rough-funning engine). Months later and he finally diagnosed completely and found that the 3rd and 4th pistons valves aren't holding any pressure. My neighbor says I can pull the valves and just replace them with something from a junkyard or parts place. My mechanic thinks I should replace my engine. Any input would be welcome!

It has too many miles to be messing with that engine. You definitely can't just slap a couple used valves in it. That won't work. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
