    Solved TSB 02-7-6 4.0L SOHC Timing Chain Rattle

    oh and to clarify about the clearence issues some were worried about. I wish i could have video taped the process. There wasnt any! I slid the lower sprocket and chain in and once i loosely fastened the lower gear, i slid the cassette in with no problem what so ever. The trickiest part was...

    Solved TSB 02-7-6 4.0L SOHC Timing Chain Rattle

    :rolleyes: not to start an arguement here but... I strongly disagree that the engine "has to be removed" to do the RH cassette! Im no ford tech... hell... i personally dont like working on fords but i just did this and there was absolutely no reason to remove the engine on this 98 that i just...

    Solved TSB 02-7-6 4.0L SOHC Timing Chain Rattle

    The access plug wasnt a biggy once the trans\flywheel were out. Im more concerned on whether or not im going to be able to get that guide and cassette back in. It was broke so getting the old stuff out was easy bc nothing was full length. lol Ill try and snap some pics tonight and post them...

    Timing the 4.0 SOHC (98 Explorer)

    Timing the 4.0 SOHC (98 Explorer)

    Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I cant believe the setup Ford put into this thing but thats an on-going complaint im sure. This whole procedure is just confusing for some reason. Now.. you said to set the engine at TDC.. then replace the jackshaft items. Are you referring to the Primary...
