Dual injected means no carbon build up. Why does it seem like too much compression to be safe? Maybe if you're adding boost it is, but for NA use it's perfectly fine.I'd keep mine as long as possible. The GDI tech worries me. I don't like carbon build up and it seems like too much compression to be safe.
Oh, I guarantee the Coyote will be the same way with needing chain tensioners at higher mileage. Especially with how we beat on them. That's just life though. I don't personally think replacing a timing set at 200K miles is something unreasonable or something you shouldn't have to do on a performance engine though. It's not particularly hard either.I like to keep them as long as they remain reliable and maintenance costs don't total the car. It was tine to let the '06 go last year because she was 200k+ miles, needed the big timing chain/tensioner work done that those modular engines (4.6L, 5.4L, 5.8L) are famous for, and that cost more than the car was worth.
I know the Coyote engine is in the same family. I hope they don't exhibit the same history with the chain tensioners down the road.
