Now, I forget how many rotations it took, but I know someone here knows, but for X number of rations, the timing chains get off the cam/sprocket mark by 1 tooth. Just curious ... when I put the cover on, she was off by 2 teeth because I rotated her so many times to vacuum out the heads to ensure that the porting debri was all out For Sale: 1997 Explorer XLT V8 AWD

Ya, it took a while! Rick Owner of 00 #1611 Silver (Totalled) 98.5 T-Red SVT #6180 Buckshot77@msn.com Misc 3L parts for sale
