jethat, how do i create a new post?

Hey bro, thanks for actually giving me an answer on my post. Everything is back to normal, you were very helpful

JetHat, I have a question about the tensioners on a 2005 5.4L. In the timing kit there are two tensioners and two thin metal gaskets that have the same bolt pattern as the tensioners. Do these two thin metal gaskets go under the tensioner. When I disassembled them I don't rememeber these being between the tensioner and the head. The head shows the wear pattern of the seal on the tensioner so I would think that if this metal gasket was between the tensioner and head there would be no wear pattern on the aluminum head. I have the Vol1/2 ford workshop manuals and it doesn't show this metal gasket in the exploded view. I'm just worried that there may have been a change that now requires this metal gasket. The gasket covers the entire oilway that pressures the tensioner but it has a small 1/4" hole over the oil port to allow oil to flow into the tensioner it looks like. If you could give me some advice I would appreciate it. Thanks

Thanks for your post

I can't remember what i was wondering? And i can't remember exactly what your truck looked like. Truck tire size tho probably.

Hey bud, just curious what size are your tires?

Hey there jetthat.
I like your taste in vehicles.
We have the same truck (style), and the same 'toy'.
I agree from your recent post... they are money pits.
