Hey Geek i know I can use the iron tensioner's on a 2004 crown Victoria @ list I think I can.. does the cloyes kit come with the metal gasket for the tensioner's do I need to use them or can I use the tensioner's on the crown Victoria the same way you used it on your mustang with out the plate/metal gasket? Or are the metal gasket only used in other applications? Also my car came from factory with the plastic tensioner's

Well done. The tensioners have a fail safe feature that physically limits the amount of non tension so as to avoid piston to valve issues with momentary lack of oil pressure.

Cool vid man! I did this for the first time a few years ago with stage 2 cams with all new components with success. I didn’t lock cams or crank I just made sure all pistons were below deck by inserting a rod in each cylinder to double check piston height, might not be common way but worked great and put my mind at ease. It’s definitely a nerve racking process for the first time especially adding aftermarket cams. I changed oil pump so i needed to prime and I turned over to prime whole system before starting as well. There is definitely a chance for chain to jump a tooth on startup without being primed and without you knowing.Thumbs up👍!
@freddyhollingsworth59454 жыл бұрын
Removing all 8 spark plugs will aid in the reduction of forces, including residual combustion chamber compressed gasses pressing down on the piston, and this can held reduce the hazard of bending valves. I'm glad you used metal tensioners as the plastic ones get weak and the spring gets weak and after 6-7 years of heat cycles and allow for super loose chains on start up and the loose chain on the driver's side will eventually bust the left side chain guide. The metal tensioners have that little ratcheting arm that presses up and keep the chains tight by keeping the tensioner arm pushed up tight in the absence of oil pressure. Great video.

hey man long time subscriber here - love your work. Today I ran into an issue doing this job on my 2011 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. I've asked about 100 people online and everyone is telling me something different, so I thought I'd ask the expert directly. I replaced the chains, guides and tensioners with Melling parts. The driver's side chain lined up perfectly dot-to-dot. The passenger side is off 1 link. Would you suggest I remove the cam holding tool & turn the cam sprocket with a wrench slightly to get the chain to line up? Some are telling me this is perfectly fine to do, and others are saying not to do it - and if it's not lining up then something is wrong. I would really appreciate your input. Thank you sir

You can't just pull the pins, sometimes there will be slack opposite of the tensioner side on the chain( I meant that the chain touching the tensioner will be tight, but there may be "slack" on the opposite chain side if the cams are not in the correct time). If I remember right the LH camshaft sprocket is 12 o'clock and the RH at 11. There being slack opposite of the tensioner side means that timing is slightly off. Your method about removing the roller followers prior to messing with the chains was correct, good advice there. Also I think that cam holding tool you were using (T96T-6256-B) is only meant to be used on Windsor engines, I have a Romeo 4.6 2v and had to use (T92P-6256-A) and (T91P-6256-A). I love these engines, not a fan of the 3v. The HV Melling oil pump is def a must on the 3V's, I hate the new style plastic tensioners and cam phasers (too many issues)

I do this every time I start my car after a oil change or if it has sat for any length of time.

How much should/would this cost to have done by a shop? I think I might have timing chain/guide noise. It comes and goes randomly. But I finally got the noise today and was able to pull the belt, which leads me to believe it’s inside the timing section. Not sure if this is something. Should tackle myself or let a shop do it

Question for you. Got a 4.6, was running but the rocker arms fall in the valve cover, so the gear on passenger side turn loose, how do I know were to put back the gear? Got new rocker arms and timing kit to install in it. Got the cam remove, scope the cylinder and everything looks ok. Thanks.

Make sure you clean out the bottom of the pan. I've seen the broken tensioner plastic clog the oil pickup.

I don't like the cast iron tensioners and the only reason is the ratcheting mechanism. It causes the guides to wear through in many cases, since tension can't let up. The newer plastic style has its issues with seal blowing, but they don't chew up the tensioning guides the way the cast iron ones do.

I have a 2002 Ford Expedition. Would it be best if I took the intake manifold of of the engine before I replace the timing chain and guides ? There is a lot of wiring and a fuel rail and all kind of sensors under the hood of this vehicle. Thanks

i have no compression on both sides. I didnt know the slack had to be on 1 side. Could this be the reason its not starting ? Or building compression over 30psi

Hello, I have a question regarding 4.6 heads. What do you recommend replacing with? I'm having an issue with a spark plug being stripped out and having to helicoil but it beyond repair. I've seen either iron or aluminum as potential replacements. Thanks
