What really upsets me the most is when cars were $3000 we didn't have engine problems. I had a 58 Fury with the first year of the b motors, a 350 with 2 four barrels and accumulated over 150,000 miles on it without a problem. These $35,000 to $50,000 trucks with these engines have so many problems. The timing chain was a nightmare because the first few fixes didn't work. Now we hear valve seats dropping, camshafts wearing and roller lifters failing. Unfortunately this is why Detroit has failed us and the Japanese took over the Auto industry. Detroit didn't know Quality until the Japanese showed America they way to build cars. I bought a new 80 Honda Civic and stopped using it when I hit 205,000 miles, because I never had to replace anything, I was afraid everything would go all at once.
