Hello All,
I have a 2003 F150 with a 4.2L. Does anyone have the procedures for replacing the front timing cover? Long story about hitting a deer but in short fan hit radiator and shoved the water pump shaft back far enough to crack my front cover.
I am not sure how to setup the timing once i go to reinstall and i dont have the tourque specs etc.
Please help i didnt have insurance and am having to make the repairs myself.
Thanks

 

Hello Denali!
Welcome to FTE and the 4.2 forum. Sorry to hear of your run-in with the deer.
I can't answer your question because I don't know how to do it.
Maybe someone else will.
Try and find a Haynes or Chiltons manual. I don't think they cover the newer models but one should help you accomplish the task as I'd expect the area you are concerned with is largely unchanged over the years.
Best of luck!

 

Someone just posted a thread about their timing cover and so forth. Try using the thread search feature above to try and locate this thread. I'm sure this has been discussed before, however I myself am clueless.
