Thanks guys! Phongus I'll read through all the chain tensioner info and go from there. I would love to pull it all apart and clean everything and do it right, but fear that my knowledge and patience will hold me back.
I think I have all the infomation available now to get this done, couldnt have done it without yous. I do have one last question though, if I'm going to be lazy and hurry this along- how do I get the original gear back on without loosening the chain? Is it impossible? |

Is it impossible? at this stage the chain tensioner needs to be released there is no way around it

thanks, just have to set up a true blue account.
where abouts is the tensioner bolt assembly thing? does the power steering pump have to be removed? could anyone do a pic up or something? |

FordFairmont wrote: yep, remove the power steering pump and its bracket and move them out of the way, then you can follow the other thread on how you lock up & release the tensioner. FordFairmont wrote: Secondly as mentioned, theres a self tensioner on the chain, which is accessed behind the power steering pump.

It won't lift because there are guide dowels that will be in tight,
the way i do it sometimes is to actually grab a rocker arm with my hands and lift them from the lifter end and use them as a lever on the cam, won't do it any harm.

you mean the plastic clip which holds the 2 major parts of the lift together (retainer) ?
if so, theyre hard to find. Ford dont sell them separate, ask "Macxr8" a member here, he might be able to help you. Some people just refit the lifters without the clips, just use tape around the rocker arm/lifter to hold it all together until you start tightening the rocker gear bolts down enough then you can remove the tape. |
