yeah, timing cover first, oil pan second.
one oil pickup, its in the back sump. The pump itself is in the front.

What do you think about this slack, Gadget? This probably explains a lot for some of the problems I've been having.
Removal of everything wasn't too bad. No bolts broke, although one of the water pump bolts came out bent. Another bolt was completely missing. Tomorrow I'll replace the chain, timing and oil pan gaskets, and throw everything back together.

Looks a little loose, but not as bad as the single roller on my '87 with only 52k miles on it. It was toast! See here for pics: http://www.grandmarq.net/vb/showthre...l=1#post736369Nick

Exactly! Ford used this shitty design since 1958 when they started using them on the Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln line of engines.Originally posted by L1011tristar17 View PostNick

Yeah, its sloppy. Not bad enough to jump, but its definitely due for replacement. Not plastic at least, so thats something.
That plastic crap was just a bad idea. GM used it too with similarly shit results. it was supposed to be for quieter motor operation but I've honestly never noticed timing chain noise before. Its certainly not loud enough that I'd trade that unreliable plastic shit for the noise.Last edited by gadget73; 11-26-2014, 06:10 PM.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
