    2005 town car (4.6L 2v V8, 150k, runs on 5W-30). During cold start (especially in cold weather) knocking noise is heard mostly from one side of the engine for about 30-90 seconds, then quiet.

    Engine '89 GT Won't run unless base timing is 30deg

    Hey everyone, this is a stumper for me. My 89 GT will not fire up or stay running unless the base timing is set to ~30 degrees. With the timing light reading 12 degrees the car will crank but not start. While someone is cranking I turn the distributor to 30 degrees it will fire up and run...

    Timing messed up?

    So I dropped my car off at the mechanic to have my oil pump replaced on my 2016 Mustang GT. And I know from doing my research that they had to remove both of the timing chains to get to it. When I got back to my vehicle and started it it made a really weird noise like there was metal ticking. I...

    Timing chain guide broken

    Recently the one of the guides/tensioners on my timing chain broke. The broken part broke my valve cover. We're trying to replace it but I can't figure out what the part number is. This is on a 2006 4l v6. The pictures aren't great but could anyone point me in the right direction?

    Timing rattle

    I have a 1996 mustang gt with what sounds like a rattle in the timing chain. I’ve changed all the sprockets. Chains. Guides. Arms. Tensioners. Harmonic balancer. Everything. But the noise remains. I’ve had the timing cover off 4 times trying to figure this out. Any ideas? It’s an intermittent noise.
