Cleaning Oil Line
July 25, 2003
|
This week I decided to take a big step and check the oil line. I very sheepishly removed the radiator, and then the fan assembly. Then, I removed the cover and prepared to remove the lock nut and large timing gear. Well, the lock nut wouldn't budge. Stuck. In a BIG WAY. It finally gave with ALOT of patience and the right tool. A regular wrench just won't get into that recess.
The oil line was clean and oil flow was good. I then re-assembled everthing in reverse order. I plan to check the timing and such when I start her up over the weekend. |

Timing Gear
May 22, 2004
|
With little success starting my T, I decided to pull the cover and check the timing gears. I had pulled the large timing gear last summer while cleaning the oil line. As I thought, I had hurriedly re-installed the gear incorrectly, throwing off the timing.
There is an 0 stamped on the large timing gear which meshes with the gear on the crank shaft. On the small gear what appears to be Ford 2 is stamped. |
