With my 05 getting close to the 250,000 k mark it’s time for some maintenance. As I don’t see replacing it with anything else anytime soon I’ve got to make it last. The bottom / internals of the 4.6 3v are good for lots of miles but the chain guides, adjusters / phasers are a known weak point. I’ve been hearing a bit of chain rattle at start up occasionally so before things go totally out I’m planning to replace the adjusters, guides ,chains and phasers over the winter. Parts are now on order but like everywhere else, waiting on suppliers to get stock back. I’ve ordered the Ford racing kit - comes with the adjusters, chains ,guides , seals, phasers and bolts. I managed to catch a Boxing Day sale to that helped a bit - Canadian dollar to us hurts even when buying form Cdn suppliers - they had to buy in USD so we all pay .
I’ll try to remember to take and post photo’s as this project progresses
