[@ThatblackEclipse]

Years later and this man still comes in clutch with his videos 💪💪 doing an head gasket now and this came in clutch to have me start off

[@MYF50]

man you probably get this alot but damn your videos came in super clutch over this weekend for me

[@priince5291]

lol currently doing this job now

[@ericponta9771]

​priince5291 me too!

[@reapensol3447]

This works for my 1997 4.6 F150. I had to pull the cover because of material in the oil take up port.

[@tninja-ow4lu]

There's 3 directional pulleys mounted on the front of that cover. Of the 3 bolts that hold them on, 2 bolts are longer and one is shorter. When reassembly is taking place. DO NOT use a long bolt in the hole intended for the short one, because it will surely pop the backside of the bolt hole out and leave a hole. Then it won't ever be found unless you have to remove the cover again for some reason.

[@chill_chewy]

You didn’t have to drop the pan. Just loosen the 4 bolts that go to the timing cover. Then the oil pan gasket won’t get stuck to the timing cover.

[@UQRXD]

When opening engine I wash it off first, less chance of dirt getting in it. Disassemble is much cleaner too. For you glove boys.

[@UQRXD]

Good video. At least the plastic guides are not broken. I have had engines that they broke to pieces, and had to drop oil pan. If the tensioner looks like that you have metal in the pan.

[@drwhwalker]

Thanks. I feel some better. I had a similar noise on my 20 GT. After two weeks at the dealership, and replacement of pulleys, water pump, etc., the service tech said that it was two tensioners. Hopefully, that’s the only internal issue. They also had to replace the active grille shutters. Regardless of the repair, I’m still bothered by having these issues on a car that I’ve had only 15 months. Keeping hope alive!

[@jesse.vr6]

i gotta do this job on my 2001 mercury grand-ma. really glad i don't have to remove the intake and all that

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

The oil pan can also be left in place. I dropped mine a little just to help the process

[@jjrrxx1981]

One idle pulley was squeaking so i replace it but when I was tightening it up to be done with the base that holds the bolt snapped in half so now I have to replace the entire cover , it is what it is.

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Ooof. Sorry to hear that

[@robertvanderbush737]

Use a torque wrench, those bolts don't require anywhere near enough torque to break things

[@JayHeru]

@dannnyjohnsonsgarage I would sure appreciate if you would provide a tool list for this video. I have a '02 crown victoria & I will be starting this job soon.

[@montoyeaprice9779]

Awesome video

[@chadroseberry9567]

Thank you for your video

[@drwhwalker]

I’m concerned about my 20 GT’s need for new timing chain tensioners at 20k. Why did they fail? Wouldn’t Replacement without diagnosis of the cause of failure and its resolve just be cyclic with the risk of greater damage? Did I simply get a lemon coyote that will need the same repair just after the warranty expires, and then at my expense? I will pick up my car later today from the dealership, and drive away with a “?” on my mind.😩

[@laneyost1786]

Why is my crankshaft sensor moving when I try to loosen it to get it by hand? My crankshaft is moving when I crank to the left with the bolt

[@rafaelcervantes8769]

Awesome video!

[@cliffdodson371]

I have a question. My tension pulley stud that is cast broke off when taking the pulley off do I have to replace the timing belt cover because of this?

[@bliques]

What was the tell in diagnostics that pointed to the timing issue?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Listen to the beginning of this video for the tensioner that broke through the tensioner arm and was rubbing on the timing chain kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKLWiIiQn6mnpLs

[@NewEdgeDesigns]

Great detailed video, this is perfect..But you definitely make it look easy…

[@Robyne_u61]

It’s not that bad

[@josephg1855]

Thank you Danny! 💯

[@kalebhigman55]

Hey man thanks for that video that will help me out alot on mine

[@DADDYDRAGONGIRL]

How do you get the crank that dampener off on a two valve automatic I subscribed to your channel and I got a 2001 mustang GT automatic and I have a vow on head gasket problem change the head gasket but the crank that but I can't loosen it up I put it in gear into drive but it's still spinning kind of clockwise as I try to break the bolt

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Is the belt still on? It will help with the belt keeping it from moving. On an automatic the crank will still spin when it’s in park. You can try putting a rag in front of one of the pulleys so it would stop the belt from moving as it gets stuck. Or if you can get an impact gun that can’t take the bolt out with quick impacts

[@DADDYDRAGONGIRL]

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage I have good timing I just wanted to change the head gasket cuz it's smoking and I just got the car and the guy had the car sitting for a minute so that that panel both is very I got to take the heads off but I got to get the the timing chain cover off cuz I got to take both heads the

[@DADDYDRAGONGIRL]

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage also just tried what you are suggested with the rag that's not working either

[@DADDYDRAGONGIRL]

The bolts is very Rusty the guy had it sitting for I just got the car last year and I'm trying to get it back on the road it started up and everything but it was just smoking it just smoking white smoke the driver side head was bad with leaking in the back the gasket is bad.

[@DADDYDRAGONGIRL]

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage yes the belt is still on

[@robertoortiz85]

You didn’t have to take the oil pan bolts off the rear only the front ones holding the timing cover

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

I removed the front ones completely and loosened the rears only to drop it down 1/2 inch or so. This helps separate the oil pan gasket rather than drag the cover off the front.

[@UQRXD]

I see that car has hydraulic brake booster!

[@dylanl5280]

nice vid thank you

[@shyruff7383]

I have an automatic 2000 gt. Some steps I’m trying to figure which ones I have to do and which ones I don’t

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

It will be the same. The only difference on the auto are cooling lines going to the radiator from the transmission, which shouldn’t be in the way

[@JuancarlosGil-h7g]

Can I have someone on each side holding the cam thru the sprocket

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Yes, or cam holding tool kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXbOi4OLl6uanrMsi=ZXHSo363zoq-2W96

Full video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKLWiIiQn6mnpLssi=goRGivUf754j2byo

[@JuancarlosGil-h7g]

I watched back to back like 5 times

[@mandohdz1142]

Can this be done on 03 cobra, gonna have to replace timing gasket I have a leak 😫

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Yes, you’ll want to see my video on the lower crank pulley and pulley bridge as well for the terminator, then its the same process kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3u8paSPop2pabcsi=qw5e-040RGP8lkb4

[@mariocruz1098]

When replacing the timing cover do you have to mess with the actual timing chains at all?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

No, the cover can come on and off without touching the chains or tensioners 👍🏼

[@Mr.3Pumps]

Do you have to replace the crank shaft seal when you take the timing over off

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

It’s a good one to replace but it’s not complete necessary if it’s not leaking

[@Mr.3Pumps]

@@dannyjohnsonsgaragegotcha,my 2004 grand marquis has 170,000 miles and had it for 3 years and it has the same timing over as your mustang and it’s time to replace the cover, I don’t know when they replaced the crank seal but I might as well change it if it’s behind the timing cover and only 15 bucks, appreciate the response brother 👍

[@raymartin5206]

How do you get the nut off the cam cover in the back on passenger side

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

A deep socket on a 1/4” drive ratchet or extensions with a u joint if needed

[@mariocruz1098]

You have to remove the fuel line in order to replace the timing cover as well?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

I disconnected it near the passenger side firewall for more room to work with the cam covers

[@jaydenray2803]

I wish I had this video when I did mine. Now I crashed and have a working engine and trans on a car that won't move. Go figure 🤦‍♂️
