Damn laser, i havent been on in a week and you try and kill your car!! Im glad its ok but for gods sake buy a damn DD now!!! You keep dumping cash into your DD and its going to bite you in the azz.
So the parts showed up today. :wrench Just have to wait on the gaskets but they should be here tomorrow.
Just have to get some gasket maker for the seams and should be all good. I have an idea I wanna try on the tensioners. Gonna clamp the guides together then remove the tensioner and swap in the new one. Should work just fine after studying it for a bit. I will still mark the chains and gears in case it falls apart.
Also decided to scrub down the timing cover since its the easiest time to do it. I only scrubbed the front side. I was planning on scrubbing the back side cause all the pics I ever saw of Ford Modulars timing covers pulled off they were all caked on oil on the back but mine was suprisingly clean.
Guess the engine has had its fluids changed on time its whole life.
So the goal is for me to steal my buddy again on his day off on Thursday and get the car back together again...... that is if Sapperfire can make it over again.

So we are off to a fine start. Called the post office and my gaskets are on their way here as I type this. So I went ahead and installed the tensioners and interrupter ring on the car and cleaned off the old gasket maker stiff on the seams.
Changing the tensioners is very easy. Just clamp the two guides together, not tight mind you. Just lightly snug to hold them in place.
Unbolt the tensioner and slap in the new one.
Then just pull the pin and run! :lol: JK. Just pull the pin and remove the clamp. Easy as pie.
Then repeat for the other side and slap in the new gear for the crank trigger and then wait for more parts to show up.
