Boroscope it first and find out exactly how much damage is done before you buy parts or make sure you can take them back. There is a chance there is significant damage.

You are going to overpay at the dealer unless they will sell to you at wholesale. You can get genuine Ford parts a lot cheaper online from places like tascaparts.com. If you do a Google search on the part number you will find other sources, compare prices.

I do plan on borescoping it this weekend and thanks for the parts website

Spark plugs burning out.
I recently posted that my 2001 screw 5.4l was idling rough. Come to find out that it was the spark plugs. Problem solved right? Wrong. It keeps burning out cylinder 2 and 4. I bought motorcraft platinum tips when i did the tune initially and ran fine for less than a day. Took to a shop. They checked the pressure in the cylinders and the vacuum everything was the way it suppose to be. Until they pulled the pluds from cylinder 2 and 4 they shot. I bought autolite double platinum replaced all for on that one side and again 2 and 4 gone replaced again just those two cylinders again gone what is the problem im at a total lost. Can anyone have a clue what it is? Im literally banging my head on a brick wall. Lol.

Did you change the coils also??
|
Bore scoped my engine this evening everything looks good
|
I think you said the gear on the end of the cam would move a little without moving the cam. Take a good look at it and find out why. Perhaps remove the valve cover and see if there is anything in the valve train that doesn't look right.
|
I've got both valve covers off and the timing covers off also by just looking at it I can't see anything wrong and rotating the engine I can't tell anything I lined my crankshaft up counted the links from the crankshaft mark to the camshaft mark both sides are the same only difference I see is theirs so much slack on the passenger side chain that I can move the crankshaft and the passenger side camshaft don't move until it pulls the slack out of the chain and the phaser gear will turn a little bit before the camshaft turns. Could something inside the phaser allow the phaser gear to move and not be locked to the cam??
|
And why is their so much slack on the passenger side and very little on the drivers side
|
Replace the chains, guides, and tensioners. Replace the phasers and solenoids.
|
K thanks
|
Just wanted to let you know I got the engine back together this evening and everything is good runs smooth no more missing bucking wanted to thank everyone for their help.
