Do make sure you don't have excessive crank end play first . Once end play starts eating thrust washer and spitting them out next it too late to save it . A reman would be best ,most guys replacing thrust washers have failed to get it to hold after putting a lot of money in engine . Plus a lot of head damage gets iffy also . If I can get 325k to 350k out of mine I will be happy anything beyond that would be golden . she's getting old but not as old as me .
I just found out my wifes explorer may have the 3.5l that has water pump inside oil jacket if so I will trade it after 100k -- damn .

Done did twice but I'm gonna spiffy it up real nice tomorrow before I pull covers. I had a service engine light for butterfly control valve on back of intake has valves stuck open but looks like this phaser/timing isn't pulling intake. I'd be good to do both jobs simultaneously eh?
Wanting to test the module before I buy a new one for butterfly valve controller. Can I clean intake inside with carb cleaner or is that too harsh? Should I find and post for buttery valves in a different thread?

But should you read it, that is the question. If you do and figure it out, please educate us. We can tell you how to get to it, change it out, route the wire harness to it, and make it work. (BUT HOW TO TELL IF IT IS WORKING REMAINS A MYSTERY - other than by the associated trouble code ).

huey67 I went to modular motorsports . com but wasn't sure which OEM steel ratcheting timing chain tensioners to get. Does 08 5.4L matter in selection? Would You happen to still have the part # available as modular motorsports asked for that in email reference and I didn't want them to send me wrong part. Thanks Bud
