OilPressurizedTensioner on LeftFront CamTimingChain FordMotorCraft# xu2z-6k254-aa
OilPressurizedTensioner on RightRear CamTimingChain FordMotorCraft# xu3z-6k254-ba
Gasket\Seal\Washer for above (2 required) FordMotorCraft# xu2z-6m252-aa

For sellers, Google Image search part# in quotes "xxxx-xxxxx-xx".
Nearest FordDealer\PartsHouse or best prices online if you can wait for delivery.
Be sure they're new Ford OEM parts, not used, not FailureProne Chinese copies.
FYI, the Tensioners have factory production date stamps, an indicator of genuine\new Ford parts.
