Timing sets?
Thinking I may go ahead and put new timing components on the 1998 f150 4.6L I bought recently since it has 165k miles on it.
I know that the Cloyes is good but expensive as I put that set on my 5.4 expy when rebuilding the engine. Any one have any opinion on maybe the the sealed power or other brands?
Should I go through the trouble of changing all the sprockets since I have not had a failure yet?
Plan to probably put a new oil pump in while I have it all exposed.

From what I found Cloyes is OEM and is worth the money. Sealed power could just be rebadged who knows. If your doing it yourself you may as well used the best parts though. I am doing the oil pump as well, however I know people with over 350k on the stock 5.4l oil pump. Its more of a piece of mind thing and I want to keep it in top shape.
was also readying that it is much easier to pull the valve covers with the intake gone. So going to do those gaskets as well. Do not ever plan on selling this truck.
