Ford BR3Z-6019-G Front Cylinder Cover

To remove the timing cover, one has to unplug the cable of the negative terminal of the battery. Lift the front of the vehicle and place it on jackstands and then take out the wheel. Siphon out the engine oil, as well as the coolant. Pull out the engine cover pushpins and, if present, the cover; also provide the drivebelts and the drivebelt tensioner of the timing cover. Second, unscrew both valve covers, and the alternator as well, and you also need to break away crankshaft pulley bolt and front oil seal. Off the coolant expansion tank and detach any other wires, hoses or clamps or bracket which may hinder the removal of the timing cover. It is suggested to make a digital image or sketch of the timing cover and bolts to know the location of all bolts to install. You need to slacken the timing cover bolts gently and in equal measure - begin with the ones at the oil pan-to-cover and remove all the bolts before attempting to unfasten the cover. Remove the top cylinder block gaskets as well as the cover-to-cylinder block gaskets. As for installation, clean and inspect the sealing surfaces of the timing cover and the block but they are delicate surfaces being made from aluminum and it is easy to damage them. A mild cure RTV sealant should be applied on the mating surfaces and the dowel pins inserted to the block. Place the timing cover over the car's engine then align it using the dowel pins. Brake the fasteners clockwise until they come in contact with the block and cylinder heads, then fit bolts and torque er.. Fit the new drivebelt and tensioner then the front oil seal and the crankshaft pulley. Replace the last parts in the reverse order, replace the oil filter, put the oil back in the engine, reconnect negative battery terminal, put coolant back in the system.

To completely eliminate the components, one has to disconnect the cable on the negative terminal, drain the engine oil and coolant as well as the oil filter. Then, the expansion tank, and engine cooling fan have to be unbolted, the coolant hoses have to be disconnected from the crossover housing and for 5.0L engines, the thermostat housing bolts and housing from the front cover have to be removed. The factors of repair are removal of the drivebelt(s), water pump pulley and, for the 5.0 L engines the water pump. Go on to remove the crankshaft pulley and front oil seal so that the front cover could pivot and then the alternator and both the valve covers. Take off nut on the transmission fluid cooler line bracket and separate the bracket from the lower timing cover. If installed, then disconnect the power steering pump by using the bolts for mounting and putting it to one side. Extend the timing cover bolts, then unbolt the drivebelt tensioner and idler pulleys, including the electrical crankshaft position sensor connector and for 4.6L, camshaft position sensors. If so equipped, remove the radio ignition interference capacitors from the upper timing cover and then the four front oil pan bolts and the timing cover-to-engine block bolts; noting the locations of stud and different length bolt for reassembly. Remove the timing cover from the engine block, if required, use a soft-faced hammer being cautious not to distort the cover. Before fitting, clean the contact surfaces of the timing cover, the block and cylinder heads, then fit three new seizing gaskets onto the ribs of the timing cover. In 5.0L engines, be sure that the pulley and the VCT solenoids are flush with their mating surfaces. Use 1/8" thickness for the RTV sealant at the places: the oil pan to engine block attaching and the cylinder head to engine block joining; bits of RTV sealant where the timing cover adjoins the engine block and the cylinder head. The timing cover should be fitted within five-minute period after applying the RTV sealant and correctly positioned before the bolts are tightened in the right sequence. For the crankshaft front oil seal a new one needs to be put in then all the other parts should be replaced in the order in which they were removed. Lastly, it is appropriate to change an oil filter, fill with right type and amount of engine oil, and coolant, start the engine, and look for any sign of leakage.
