'99 5.4L Jumped Time???

Sooooo...

I got the loose chain blues...

Original post for the rattle here:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post14887582

Upon teardown, it seems as the RS-passenger cam has jumped quite a few teeth.... Pics are at #1 TDC (front passenger hole right?)

Crank mark (dot) is at 6:00
LH (driver) cam mark about 11:00...
BUT the RH (pass) mark also seems to be about 11:00... Shouldn't this mark be leaning in towards the center at say about 1:00???









THANKS FOR LOOKIN'!!!

kb,

This is the before teardown with the #1 @ TDC compression...

Installed everything today, colored links on the marks, rotated 2x back to #1 compression to verify no interference... I'll post the install pics...

In the meantime, I forgot the backing plate for one of the tensioners... New subject post here:

Thanks kb,

We seem to be in the same spots with cam marks @ TDC... As well as my before pic, so I am guessing she didn't jump time...

Thanks for the no plates info too...

Mucho Appreciado!
