Did it twice at the time of the swap and the chain replacement.

I don't know how long it sat prior to being removed. I did watch the removal to insure that I didn't get the bait and switch. Never over heated while in my possession. I know some old timers that squirt machining oil in to cyl's to see if compression comes up. After the initial swap the engine...

90,100 miles is what the donor odometer displayed. I'm more than certain that the cams balance jack and crank were lined up. The cams gave cuts/gaps that are off center preventing mis-orientation. Between download loaded pics from this site and the Haynes manual and breaker bar rotation while on...

This is as far as I got this morning. Fuel pressure 60 psi. Cyl 1 compression 150psi motor was too hot. Will get the other 2 done asap.

Yes the guides did degrade after about a year, that's why I went after the cassettes. I will take bank one comp tests tomorrow along with fuel pressure. The 5 revolution test is what gives 75 psi let it go more and it can build more psi. A impact of valve to piston is possible I'd imagine...

Yes I used the otc 4.0l cam tool kit. Cyl 4 at about 155 psi, never checked the right bank. Again all idle and CEL conditions existed prior to the cassette replacement. What has me concerned is that 1 half of a valve keep (lock) found in the oil pan. I can't figure out how it got free from...

I'm at fault here. The three DTC's listed have been constant since pulling the intake after replacing the fuel pressure reg. Any combination of old and new upper and lower intakes makes no change in idle or tripping CEL. Timing chain replacement didn't change anything either. There was zero...

Thought about it, but both of them? I wouldn't think so. I'm using 1/4 drive hand sockets and ratchets.

Sorry if I'm in the wrong place, never done anything like this before. please bare with me. Little back story to my Truck.(2000 Mountaineer 4.0L SOHC) I got the truck with a blown motor (blown head gasket, milk shake oil mix). Installed a quite junk yard motor, upon install put new upper and...
