Hey guys, I have a small but annoying oil leak, between the timing chain cover and cylinder head/cylinder block area. I pulled off the power steering pump brackets hoping that it would just be a leaking tensioner, but it wasn't. I have read two contradicting pieces of info, the first being that if you take the timing cover off, you need to take off the cylinder head and drop the sump to replace all the seals. The second bit of info I read (and was told by Ford service dept) was that you do not need to drop the sump or remove the cylinder head to replace the gaskets. Has anyone removed their timing covers and replaced gaskets, without dropping their sumps and removing cylinder heads? Advice appreciated.
Cheers |
