Hello, i have a 98 Ford explorer SOHC V6 and the driver side tensioner broke, as i found the plastic pieces in my oil pan when replacing the gasket. I was wondering if there is a way for me to replace the guide without pulling the engine? Any instructions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, Folks, I'm looking at a 2000 Explorer XLT in very clean and straight shape for cheap. "Minor" problem....the owner says it needs a new timing chain and is not running. It quit just as he rolled into his driveway. Now, for the dumb question. Is the SOHC engine an interference motor...

I have a 2002 Explorer with 4.0L V6 with 79000 miles. Last year I started to hear a bearing kind of sound only when I accelerate hard passed 2500 rpms when I drive coming from the right passenger's side front of the engine. As soon as I let off it goes away. I have power braked it and...

Hi everyone. I know timing chains has been done to death but just need a bit of help. I have a 96 explorer and as you can guess the timing guides have gone (one has, the rest are still ok).

hello, I recently bought a 92 explorer with 300K miles, the trans was rebuilt aprox. 5K ago and as far as I know the engine is extremely old. Usually when i go up hills or accelerate it will rattle between 2 and 3 thousand rpm. However it will rattle at other rpms and speeds occasionally. Im...

I recently replaced the cam synchronizer in my 99 Mountaineer 5.0L and I used the alignment tool but set the synchronizer at the same position it was in originally which was situated in the 5:30 or 5:45 degree position instead of the 6 o'clock (engine centerline) position. The truck runs good...

02 explorer 4.0 4x4 My friends explorer has gotten slop in the timing chain tentionera @ 140k miles. He did not change it just continued to drive it. It soon slapped a hole in his valve cover. Now he beleives it is unfixable and offered it to me at a extremely low price. Question-if I was to...

Ok, I'm sure this topic has been covered but I can't find it here on the forum. My 1993 4.0L is pinging under load, either uphill or under prolonged acceleration. Unfortunately I cannot troubleshoot the pinging (I believe due to timing) because I didn't get the Ford Powertrain/Emissions...

I recently replaced a rear timing chain on my 2002 4.0L SOHC Explorer because the tensioner was broken. We realigned the cams & crankshaft using the special Ford alignment tool. I also threw some Lucas upper cylinder lubricant & injector cleaner (one product) into the gas tank. Now when I...

So the new motor, complete with head and head gasket all went in without a hitch... BUT Since then I have had the timing cover off 2x and installed 2 belts, and 1 timing tensioner (from the old motor). Each time I followed the instructions PER Chiltons: -Line up Cam and Crank timing makes...

Evening folks, In the process of my first A4LD rebuild on a stock '94 Explorer. Anyone know if the pushrod model also has a rear timing chain that I can replace while I am in there with just the transmission out? Had to do the chain on my '99 5.0L which was easier since it was only the front...

I had my 98 die while driving and am pretty sure that the timing chain went on it. Is there any major damage done to the engine, and how do I re time the engine? I guess the question I am asking is there a tool that i can retime the engine with and is it worth it? I would greatly...

I have been browsing this forum for a couple of days, I have an 03 4wd with the 4.0 and i have seen it hinted that you can set this engine back into time without having the special tools. Can somone let me know how this is done ? I am having to replace the front cassete in addition to the...

Ok, my '95 XLT with 294K on it got a new radiator over the last two weekends. Don't go to Autozone for a rad, they don't match up the right part and the trans cooling lines don't fit. But enough of that rant. After changing the hoses, thermostat (found one without the air hole in it...

98 Explorer SOHC Heres the deal I have lost a good amount of power and about three miles per gallon. I had her in for three tensioners in the past two weeks, the mechanic replaced the front camshaft tensioner, the jackshft tensioner, and the balance shaft tensioner. The car Idles fine and...

Ok, for the love of god...94 sploder, just swapped the motor in from a 93. My buddy didn't think to put the engine at top dead before he pulled the cam sensor. I've called EVERY part store locally, cant find the Tool, and my new motor has no power and falls on it's face under too much pedal...

I have installed a hydrogen generator and I need to know how to retard the timing. Which plug fires first or is it simultaneous?
