They are worn as well. Do it all in one shot. It's not that much more and it save time and headache on the long haul. I always go with the steel sprocket when I do this, simply because the nylon tends to crack over time. | > ive just got hold of a 1998 4.0 XLT. it seems to have a loud rattle and i | > think its the timing chain. can anyone tell me what else needs to be [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] | in one shot.

On my 97 4.0 SOHC, Ford replaced the front cam chain cassette as part of a recall ( I was 2nd owner), not sure if it's still being done, this was several years ago. > ive just got hold of a 1998 4.0 XLT. it seems to have a loud rattle and i > think its the timing chain. can anyone tell me what else needs to be > replaced along with the chain or can i just gat away with a new chain. > please help. i would be most gratefull. thanks Look for Ford Campaign 00M12. 4.0L SOHC Camhaft Chain Tensioner & Lower Intake Manifold Gasket Service Bulletin. My Ford dealer just fixed my year 2000 free. (June 2005). I was told this covers year 1997-2000 Explorers and Moutaineers. I just had mine fixed free at a Ford dealership under a Campaign 00M12 {mk23267@comcast.net) I can email u acopy of all the parts they replaced free. thanks for the info that you gave me. im chasing fords as we speak. could you email that list as you stated in your reply. thanks robshawkitchens@aol.com |
