Parts List to do your Timing Chain Guides/Tensioners

Turbo Marauder
So many people order the wrong or low quality stuff, so here is the best of the best to get the job done:

Ford Parts:
1R3Z-6L253-BA Right Arm
1R3Z-6L253-AA Left Arm
1R3Z-6M256-AA Left Guide
2C5Z-6K297-AA Right Guide

Remaining parts you can get from Rock Auto in one purchase:
Cloyes 95338 Left Steel Tensioner
Cloyes 95339 Right Steel Tensioner
FelPro VS50477R Cam Cover gasket set
FelPro TCS45980 Timing cover Gasket set w/crank seal

If your car has high mileage, you should inspect the upper manifold gasket before re-installing.

Zack, are the tensioners the "better" ones?
 
What about the Ford racing kit I see? Part #M-6004-A464. It has what you posted plus pretty much everything else.
 
Is there a reason this list excludes the chains and gears (but includes the necessary gaskets)?

I mean, is it because you simply get them from Ford, or is it because they don't actually need replacing if you change the guides and tensioners?

Unless your engine has been neglected, those items don't wear out.
Not any of the ones I've seen at least
 
I might be pulling the timing cover to repair an oil leak onto the belt (verifying leak location first). Sounds like while I have it apart it wouldn't hurt to grab these parts and swap them out.

Did you check your oil filter adaptor? The gasket is a known failure item.

Oil filter adapter? Don't have one installed. Oil filter port is still stock, no adapters or anything for oil cooling. Plus, the leak looks to be coming from the other side of the motor, anyway. But like I said, going to have it inspected. I've been too busy working on my other cars to have time to properly check it myself.

He meant the factory oil filter housing gasket. Makes for a nice leak on the drivers side
 
Ah, I see. If that's what it is, great. But the leak looks to be coming from the passenger side. And whatever it is, it sprays directly onto the belt. Anywho, let's not hijack the thread.
 
I purchased everything listed in the OP and installed it all this past weekend. Car runs great now and no more rattle at start up. Thanks Zack! [emoji1303][emoji1303]

Tasca looks to have all of the OEM Ford parts (all for tensioner arms) in stock right now. And interestingly enough, cam covers, too.
