Inspection (Romeo Engine)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2001 Ford Pickup, 2001 Ford Expedition, 2001 Ford Econoline, 2000 Ford Pickup, and 2000 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: If components are replaced due to damage, ensure crankshaft is rotated so pistons are below deck surface (crankshaft keyway at 90 degrees) to prevent contact with valves. See STEP 1 in illustration. See Figure. Ensure camshaft positioner is installed on camshaft(s) before installing timing chain(s).

Inspect components for damage. Inspect friction surfaces on tensioner arms and chain guides for wear. Replace components if necessary. If tensioner arms or guides are worn or damaged, remove and clean oil pan. Also, replace oil pump screen cover and tube.
