Compression test 01 Navigator
Yes I have the spring tool and the spark plug hole adapter. Would it be OK to keep it pressurized each time I am trying to get the rollers on just in case I loose keepers again? I should have more spring keepers in a few days. I won’t touch it until then! Is it ok to leave the air hooked to...- Fordgirl01

Compression test 01 Navigator
Yesterday I decided to attempt to put the roller followers back on. I had forgotten what a total PIA they were. So far-I did get one on! The second one I was trying to get I heard something fall. I was horrified to find the 2 little spring retainers had popped out. Of course I couldn’t find...- Fordgirl01

I did find that bolt, but this is what threw me! But then this site says it will fit. This is the first site I’ve seen that said it will fit! The pulleys on my 04 are narrower than the 01 so I was afraid the bolt would be for that one. I guess there’s only one way to find out! It’s not a...- Fordgirl01

I got the engine cover all patched up with JB Weld pro and let it sit for the week to make sure it was completely cured. My new reluctor wheel came so that’s installed along with the new front seal. I put the cover back on this weekend-no snapping or cracking sounds, so that’s a plus! The...- Fordgirl01

So now that the lightbulb finally came on….I looked at my sprockets again. I can clearly see what you mean now. The old sprocket (ignore the screws-the old timing components are on my wall now like a trophy) has no lip on it so the raised ring on the back of the original reluctor wheel must have...- Fordgirl01

It seems a new wheel should come with the darned kit!- Fordgirl01

I think i understand what you mean now describing the new sprocket. I will look closer tomorrow after work and get a pic of it. I think you are telling me with the original sprocket, the edge of the chain stuck out a bit further than the sprocket. On the new one with the lip, the sprocket sticks...- Fordgirl01

The numbers on my cover are: XLIE-6C086-AB. When I Google it, this turns up: F75Z-6019-BA. this cover appears to fit an assortment of vehicles according to this site…. https://www.bluespringsfordparts.com/oem-parts/ford-timing-cover-f75z6019ba Does that seem right?- Fordgirl01

I did see a number on my timing cover. The link you posted for the wheel states it is for a 05-13 navigator. Mine is an 01. I’m trying to find a part number for mine, but this wheel seems to be difficult to search for since it’s called so many different names! There is one on rock auto that is...- Fordgirl01

The sprockets are already on. They were in the melling kit. I’ll snap a pic the best I can and get a pic of the reluctor wheel (it’s the original-I did not get one in the timing kit).- Fordgirl01

Since I had to move on after the engine cover discovery, I decided to get my roller followers out of the jug of oil I have kept them in and check them out. I kept the one that had fallen off separate (on the valve that ended up being stuck) to make sure I knew which one to look more closely at...- Fordgirl01

Damn it! I was elated how easily I was able to pop the seal out of the cover workout taking it off. My elation quickly turned to horror as I noticed I had done the same thing Ulver had tried to warn me about. I did not receive a new reluctor wheel with my timing kit and my new crank sprocket...- Fordgirl01
