All that had the 00M12 fix performed at Ford Dealer...Your Help Please!

Are you sure that it is leaking from the tensioner. Did the oil gallery plug go in ok? I've done over 14 of these kits and never had an issue. I always use the supplied washer too.
 






Yup. The little oil way "grub" screw went in without any pain and torqued down perfectly.

At the last Gush session, i could see the oil gushing from the lower part of the tensioner.

Bought a new gasket/washer this morning. I have noticed that the washer has a "bevel" or dome to it. The inner edge of the waser is at a different plane from the outer edge. There seemed to be liitle knowledge at the dealership as to which way this should correctly be installed on the tensioner. Should the high inner part of the washer be against the steel head of the tensioner or should the washer be reversed leaving the high outer edge of the washer against the steel head of the tensioner?

Any thoughts would be very much appreciated. Thanks
