What number is that?It wouldn’t be a bad idea to change the secondary chain guides also

The guides I have.. the camshaft seals I do not, he said he's never replaced them.
I dunno, I used Right Stuff 90 minute.....Do you have to use Ford's black silicone?
I guess you have no leaks? LOL it's only a small section isn't itI dunno, I used Right Stuff 90 minute.....
The timing cover's actually relatively huge. It's a lot of bead.....I guess you have no leaks? LOL it's only a small section isn't it
Hell it's only $60 for the Motorcraft one.. he uses the same silicone as you the right stuff.. never an issue. He uses it on all vehicles That requires it...I personally wouldn't bother with oil pump. The only reason guys do 'em on modulars is to step up to the Melling high flow.
I'm not aware of the 3.5/3.7 starving for oil on the top end and you've got mechanical tensioners.
He might use the 15 minute Cheez Whiz version. I'm too cheap to pay for that as it's way more expensive, but makes sense in a flat rate shop.Hell it's only $60 for the Motorcraft one.. he uses the same silicone as you the right stuff.. never an issue. He uses it on all vehicles That requires it...
Thank you.. @mattd what is opinion on changing the oil pump? Motorcraft didn't have primary and secondary tensioners, I wind up having to go with Melling.. Motorcraft is discontinued...

and
AT4Z-6K254-A not available??
Depending on time frame for the job I either use the ultra black and let it cure overnight but if they are in a hurry for it I use the right stuff. Have to work very fast though once you lay it down. I prefer using the other ultra black just so I know everything is done perfectly and not rushed
People accept that timing belts should be changed on a regular schedule BEFORE failure but for reasons I don't understand they think this water pump should just be left to hopes and dreams.But if money is burning a hole in your pocket for it, go for it.
Not really, living on a fixed income this is all preventive maintenance, everything locked good, water pump was tight, but you never know if that' seal was going to start leaking..
Primary tensioners are available, secondary are on backorder at the moment, quoted on fridayThat’s odd…we just got some a couple weeks ago?
Oil pump I would leave alone. Only time I have changed one is on an overhaul. But if money is burning a hole in your pocket for it, go for it.
