Yep. Oil pump it is if thats what is in the picture. Hope that's not whats making the noise. But noise seems closer to the pan. Cant beleive i could confuse that with a vt thing that i never even seen with my own eyes. Lol. Guess i should have taken it apart when i had the chance. Then i would...

The answer to the timing thing is there was a strange component that i still dont know what it is next to the crank to the left next to the sprocket. That thing i dont know what it is goes into the oil pan. The oil pan on the car i am working on has a drain plug by the trans side sump. The car...

Loose dipstick rattling on the pan makes sense to me. I am having my bro get oil and going to pull the pan soon. I reserve the right to be wrong since my eyes cant see 30 miles away but i knew i should have got a pict. If i post a question about the starting problem am i going to get bashed...

I do a lot of rock auto. Once in a while i get a discount code. Only bad thing us i get taxed at rock. Because we are both in wisconsin. Didnt have much problems with returns either. I am not sure but my oil pan is different than the one pictured. No drain plug in the black cover and the casting...

Thats what i was looking for. Is world parts a good supplier of quality parts?

Funny you say blinker fluid. My brow got the car from some lady and the blinkers were the only thing that worked. It even had a 2x4 holding up the passanger window. It came from Milwaukee. Lol

I never claimed to be a full time Lincoln or car mechanic. I do it on the side and work on a lot of different types. I can be wrong so whoop de do. The machines i work on at work are CNC machines that cost up to a million $. I am not asking how to make a check pin board for a fanuc alpha...

I changed the chain guides and tensioners also. + i changed the waterpump, tensioner, rebuilt the alternator, and lastly the air con pump bearing crapped out and was replaced. I need to know what could make noise like a rattle but not chain slap, rod knock, intermittent under there. Feels almost...

On the attatched image that is what i was looking for. Thank you very much. To the lower left of the crank is a thing i confused for a veriable timing actuator. What is it? There i an intermittent noise coming from under that cover that sounds like its right on the other side of it. Been there...

Once again the only thing i noticed between the 01 and 05 is they ditched the stupid hydraulic fan and went to an electric. I didnt have both cars there at the same time and take them apart at the same time. So no answer on whats underneath the cover?

Yes i had the front cover off. How do you think i changed the junk plastic chain guides. Cut the chains and put master links in them like the bs kits i see on ebay? You can put that crap on your car. Yes I know some crap unlike everyone is assuming. I have worked on a lot of DOHC engines because...

Ok i am the mecanic that you pros say dont know crap. I asked my brow to ask a simple question. What is under the black cover? Since he is using the car and lives 30 miles i cant take the cover off and see right now. Call me stupid or dumb but the thing that looks like an oil pan has a drain...
