Hi Scotty,
For fun I'm buying a 2002 Ford Thunderbird with 40,000 miles. There seems to be a common issue on these cars with the (plastic) timing chain tensioners breaking. Is there a way to test, pre-purchase, for internal damage like that? And if they're OK is there any preventative maintenance I can do to keep them in good shape?
THANKS!!

well you pay a mechanic check the car and he can listen and check timing with his equipment the only thing you can do to prevent it is to change the oil off and but really a plastic part like that that wasn't built all that well odds are eventually it's going to break anyway regardless of how you maintain it
