Timing Cover installation 4.6L Ford 2V Mustang, F-150, Crown Vic

[@jimr5703]

When I dig into my engine I START by cleaning it up to prevent crap from getting into the mechanicals. It's never perfect, but better than struggling with dirt build up the whole way through a repair. Those valve covers and timing cover never would have come off my engine in that condition.

I never knew the car would only crank if you pushed down on the gas pedal and clutch at the same time. I always pulled the fuel pump fuse before cranking the engine. my 66 GT has 106K so I am sure I am not far from having to do what you did....nice job!!

It’s set to clear the engine from flooding 👍🏼

Good video Danny

[@mariapeluffo6986]

Hey Danny sorry to bother you, but since your engine is a Romeo I would like to know how many lbs of torque you put on the Timing Cover bolts because I was checking the manual and there is a diference between the Romeo and the Windsor engine; I will really apreciate it if you can give me any advice. Thank you very much.

Same Job to do now on my Towncar here in Austria...;-(...how did you reseal the Oilpan in the rear? Only install it back with the old gasket in?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Yes, if the old gasket is still fine just put it back together. If you see it’s been torn or broken add some gasket maker

[@CheesusSVT]

Put together very well, makes it look much more simple. I hope this never happens to my motor though. 🤫

Can you change oil pump without removing oil pan such you have done

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

I do believe you can. At worst you may need to loosen some of the bolts. The oil pickup tube does connect at the bottom of the pump but I think you can access the bolts. It’s shown at about 18 minutes and 30 seconds in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIWYi2iCZ9x0qdUsi=lq0UsYz_riB-vKhU

Great video. Quick question what's the purpose of the rtv on the harmonic balancer

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Apparently it acts as an oil slinger

My tensionor socket broke I need a timing cover

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Sorry to hear that

[@TheNightmare692009]

The reluctor wheel. What does it do?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

The crankshaft position sensor reads the teeth as they go by and measures when the notch is missing, telling the computer the position of the crankshaft at top dead center

[@TheNightmare692009]

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage On that subject. I have a Mod Max 4340 forged stock stroke crank. I was told I need the correct reluctor wheel for it. Will the stock one off the 2001 Windsor work? It fits no problem.
