Wrong Timing Chain Installed! 2004 Ford Mustang!

[@bobhudson6659]

I am a retired 70 yr old mechanic in Land Down Under. If I was ever in trouble in USA, you would be the first person I would see to have work done on my car. You are a credit to the industry, even if another person has commented that he objects to you painting a part on the car that you did not get prior approval for (but don't get me started). As others have also mentioned, you are also not averse to showing your mistakes. That is a real measure of an individual. Well done.

[@charleshenshaw9099]

90% of KZbinrs would never show a mistake. Ray is the real deal. The people that make a issue of his mistakes are living in a fantasy, because shit happens to everyone.

I agree with the others that I'm not keen on pip, but I wanted to say I do appreciate the extra effort and you trying to make things better for us, it's the thought that counts

[@utidjian]

PiP is fine when used correctly. In the first video it added nothing to what we were seeing and may have even subtracted from it. However... right at 00:20 in this video is an almost perfect legit use of PiP where Ray shows both the correct and incorrect timing chain tensioner devices. I said "almost perfect" because the PiP was not from the same perspective as the main view. Perfect would have been same angle shot. Anyhoo... that's my opinion.

[@ianriggs]

@@utidjian Do modern HDTVs even have PIP? Seems to me this "feature" died with CRT televisions. Never used it, personally!

@@Guillotines_For_Globalists Oh they all do to some extent. Sometimes it is in the programming. Like in Rays case it was part of his production. Other times it is like the cable providers "guide" that lets you have a thumbnail of your current program running in a corner of the screen yet you are browsing for a different channel or show. Others have something like you can have 2+ programs running simultaneously. I never bothered with it much as I am much more a single tasker.

That must be why this video was re-edited to hide things I pointed out. (Gotta love changing the zoom to cover up a screw up, etc.) Go back to the Previous Video in this series that that was posted after this one because he spent too much time trying to use a new format of Picture in Picture to hide the real reason the Cover broke. He missed a Bolt and used "More Pry Bar" to break it. Look at those comments. I do call Ray out on it and admit that I have done the same thing when I was new to wrenching. There is no way to prove it; but believe me, my old man knew exactly what I did and I payed for it. I am not ignorant enough to claim that Silicone can break a Timing Cover. (It didn't!) The original version of this video clearly showed him slipping the Timing Cover on with the Drive Gear Backwards with just the Lettering about the Gear being Backwards and had to be flipped. Now the Zoom changes to cover that part up and added more lettering about; "Was not going to re-record." Because he did not want to record the whole tear down process back to the Chain... Video title: Wrong Timing Chain... KZbin link "This Thing" with an angry Emoji. Yeah, he put it together and the Synchronizer would not line up properly. Had to tear it all down again and does not have the dignity to be honest about any part of this disastrous repair. I know damned well things can go bad at any time, and one frustration leads to other issues that escalade to an entire bad experience.

[@harleykid39]

I have been watching your videos every morning with my coffee for 3 months. Today you blew my mind when you found your boredom should be relieved by painting parts of the customers car. I have been working on cars near 30 years and have learned anytime you do things like that there is more room for backlash from the customer, Even if they asked me to paint engine parts i would say not because of fish eye and other issues unless it was a whole engine out rebuild. Especially now days when there are KARENS AND KEVINS every where.

[@rickgesell9468]

For those who don't have a scope handy, you can also find TDC with a pencil in the spark plug hole. Verify compression stroke like Ray did, then stick the pencil in eraser first and use it as a feeler while you rotate the crank. Might be easier to judge by feel than on scope. You can use a long dowel if it's a deep hole, or even a screwdriver (careful not to scratch anything).

[@guuuu666]

Most of the time a leak in the timing cover gasket is the result from tightening the oil pan bolts first. And in some sad cases the crankshaft front seal also fails prematurely from the timing cover not seating flushed to the block because of the tension was firstly applied to the oil pan bolts causing misalignment.

[@annewilliamson2429]

Another old school trick to find compression stroke. Tear off a piece of paper towel, wad it up, and stuff it in the spark plug hole. Bump the engine over with the ignition switch or a bump starter. The paper towel will blow out as the piston comes up on compression stroke. Then you can use a Phillips screwdriver to bring the piston on up. If you go too far and the piston has started back down, you can turn the engine backwards to top dead center or stuff the paper back in and start over with the bumping. I know. Shade tree technology. But it works.

[@wolfpreist]

Ray, I'm not a mechanic beyond the shady tree, but last time i had the water pump off my truck, i took a piece of cardboard, made a rough outline of the pump, and stabbed the bolts through the corresponding point on the cardboard.

Car is now up to 278k and gets oil changed religiously. I do hope to keep the car itself to 300k and the engine to its respective miles. Recently got a tuner on discount for it and plan on giving it a mild tune once i get an exhaust for it, already have CAI similar to the one this guy has. Drove it for work that is a personal vehicle travel job about 200+ miles a day for 4 months until i purchased another vehicle for just such that.

If it makes it to the next oil change without it wiping out the bottom end congratulations. The relief valve in those built in oil pumps on the front cover love to stick after the are removed and reinstalled. The cam sensor is not for ignition timing. It is for sequential fuel injection timing. If it is off you will not get much of any symptom except for perhaps a stumble at low speed or poor fuel economy. Also it will miss identify a cylinder misfire to apposing cylinder firing on the coil pack.
