should the tensioners hold the chains tight with no oil pressure???? don't they have a ratchet or something that locks them extended? I need to investigate further, if I remember correctly looking at the front of the engine facing the rear of the car the crank rotates clockwise??? am I right...

Well dang I finally got the timing cover off, at first I was upset everything looked fine the chains were tight other then someone put cheap Chinese parts on it, it looked ok. Then I felt the tension on the driver side chain down around the crank sprocket the chain flops around +/- .250 looks...

where is the best place to attach the lift chain, I have never pulled one of these before I guess they are not that heavy so I would assume any tapped holes on the heads would hold the thing. are these cars aluminum blocks or steal?

I take it the pan can't be removed in the chassis??? did you have to remove the power brake booster to remove the engine?

Im about ready to remove the timing cover, I had the left rocker cover off enough to see the tensioner it's plastic but looks in good shape the plastic tension pad also looks fine, I'm hoping the problem is on the right side, just got the rocker cover loose but can't lift it high enough to see...

what about the driver side? that one also look tight

I don't know with 130k on those chains, I think it would be smart to buy new ones. those are long chains and I"m sure they stretch over time. Is there an issue with removing the cam covers? I have read in a mustang chassis the clutch/brake masters has to be removed is that a problem on the...

I bought the car a little over a year ago and it did not have a motorcraft filter on it when i bought it and I didn't put motorcraft filters for the last two oil changes, I did not know about this issue, so it's well over a year that it has had off brand filters on it. And when I bought it it...

looks like from that picture that possible you could see a sliver view of the driver side tensioner but not the right one. at least I should be able to tell if it's a plastic or steal tensioner

If I pull the rocker covers would I be able to see the tensioner to verify the problem? are these engines prone to the valves hitting the piston if the chain jumped a tooth? though I don't think it did it runs to smooth for that.

what is Taska, I see a Tascaparts.com is that what you are talking about? did you listen to the video is that what the tensioner noise sounds like? Im wondering how difficult it is to seal up the cover without taking the oil pan down? I guess loads of black RTV would stop any oil leakage.

Well that sux what is the problem with a non motorcraft filter? shouldn't the parts house know that it has to be a motorcraft filter? can I sue Orielly auto parts for selling me the wrong filter? How difficult of a job is it removing the timing cover can it be done in the chassis or does the...

here is 40 seconds of my car from cold start to shut down, it seems worse today after sitting 24 hrs this was the first startup since last night any input??? as you can see the serpentine belt is removed so it's just the engine not any accessories. if it won't play use the link...

it's the stock pressure gauge I know it's not direct pressure but it's better than nothing.... I put a socket extension to my ear and probed around it's not coming from the rocker covers I touched it to the timing cover and it was louder then the rocker covers so I think it's coming from the...

it does have a mild tune from Marty but other than that it's stock. I have only owned it for the last 8k miles so I don't really know it's history, it had normal valve train ticking when I got it, it's never overheated since I have had it and the oil does not smell burnt but it's got less then...

I just changed my oil in my 03 mm and my annoying valve train ticking is now knocking. There is plenty of oil per the dip stick and the pressure gauge says 68 psi. when I cold start it, it knocks loud then calms dow a bit but is definitely worse than before. idle is smooth and seems to have...

I'll check that out that sounds like the best solution

so what do you want for one, or would it be better to replace them all to keep a constant color

I have been looking at the firewall and there is not much room there, I'm thinking maybe just running the power under the car and coming in the trunk, I think there are some grommets in the trunk well

I same color as original, what have you got color wise
