Hi folks,
Hope I can get some fair advice on this car
2011 crown vic
4.6 romeo engine
130K miles
So I buy and flip police interceptors and picked one up at a local police auction this week. The fleet guy said last officer never changed oil in almost a year and engine started knocking and was parked since.
So before I placed a bid on the auction I drove to the PD car lot and jump started the car and it knocked for a few seconds but then went away ?? Oil was BLACK AS BLACK but it was level not low ??
Have been told engine is trashed, I need new timing chain/tensioner guides, I need new lifters ??? Any ideas or suggestions ??
Was planning to run some b12 berryman's oil flush and some Delo 400xle 10W30 to "flush out" and then go with some rotella gas truck 5w20 and marvel mystery oil ??
Really hope I can save this car its VERY clean and has low miles !!!
