Tech agreed I will def use new jackshaft bolts. It always seems like your gonna pull the threads out when you go that extra 90 degrees on the head bolts. Also didn't know if the flywheel bolts were tty too. was gonna put a cheap complete 150000 mile motor in it but to my surprise the valves...

Thanks tech. The Gasket kit I looked at includes new head bolts. Though I have reused such bolts many times in the past I figured that since they were included I'd use them. The flywheel bolts I think are tty too but will reuse them. Also the jack shaft bolts I will renew. I saw in a previous...

Street The parts I mentioned are manufactured by Mizumo. The gasket kit states it is for a vine mine is a k Thought they were interchangeable?? but k is not listed. Is the only difference the injector o rings? everything appears to be the same but was wondering if you knew the difference...

Street Finally dragged the mountaineer into the garage (that leaves my 48 chevy outside. I decided to pull the engine. the cams as you know where 180 out of sync without me loosening the jackshaft bolt. Managed to put it back close enough to rotate engine with out valve contact but feared...

Street I have come across several engine that are reasonably priced but I do not know of the fit . I am sure that I can change any of the externals when swapping it out and would obviously use the best of what you get. the engines are a 2000 and a 2001. one has 95k and is cheap enough to take...

Street Do you happen to know what year and make engine can interchange with a2004 mountaineer. There is too much wrong info out there but have found some reasonably priced motors only I don't know if they will fit. Is it all based on the vin code? the 8th digit E or K would love your input

Still stuck on how they got this way?? how cold the get out of sync without bending the valves was gonna pull it cuz the heads probably have to come off cant figure out how they couldnt be damaged. even thought it was driven home. after installation of the first tensioner. it still started but...

streetrodI bought this gem cuz it was gonna be junked so bought it for junk price.the rest is immac I know the owner and she has owned it since new. Also came with a service history back to the first oil change. no real risk involved since i could also junk it but thought there might be a good...

2000 streetrod I have confirmed that the cams are out of sync.How? I never removed the jackshaft bolt(still haven't) it was used daily up until chain rattle. Can you think of any way they could be 180 from each other. Didn't confirm exactly 180 but it sure appears that its 180.can the cam...

I would do a compression check if I could. Now with it out of time ill bend some valves. I am not at tdc .I noticed that when I was the key on the crank was at twelve oclock is that correct? If I back up the crank with the chain off you can go slow and tell if there is any contact with valves...

Dont know how they could have gotten 180 off the car was not worked on before the chain rattle started. and I did not take the jackshaft bolt off. will take a closer look at the left cam as the slot is to the rear of the enginr but it felt like it was above axis and the right below. ill let you...

Bought this truck real cheap to repair. It had the bad rattling when i drove it home. after changing just the primary tensioner it started but made same noises only to find the new tensioner broken. at that time i noticed the balance shaft tensioner was broken also. was able to chnge just the...

streetrod thanks fo the response. Yes i did pull the pin. The first tensioner had all the spring leaves fall off. In hindsight it appears that the top of the new tensioner had flexed against the chain that it exposed the spring pin from behind the metal flap meant to keep it from falling out...

Have a 04 mountaineer with bad timing chain noise in front. Took of front and found primary tensioner broken. all other parts looked good. Installed new tensioner ONLY. Thought I could get away with it. No way. The new tensioner lasted about fifteen second and the rattle started again. Took it...
