  Q: How to service and repair the timing cover on Ford Crown Victoria?

  A: Service and repair operations on the timing cover start with grounding out the battery before extracting both valve covers alongside the Water Pump. Start by supporting the vehicle while raising it. After bolt removal you can put the Power Steering Pump to the side. The vehicle service starts with draining engine oil by pulling out the Oil Pan drain plug followed by removal of all four bolts to lower the vehicle down. Start by removing the crankshaft front seal and bolt as well as the belt idler pulley and finally separate the engine front cover from the front-cover-to-cylinder-block dowel. To prevent oil leakage during future installation, if the engine front cover remains unsecured for longer than four minutes clean the sealing area with Metal Surface Cleaner F4AZ-19A536-RA which must comply with Ford specification WSE-MSB392-A followed by a drying period until areas show no moisture or lasting four minutes whichever requirement becomes paramount first. The application of Silicone Gasket and Sealant F7AZ-19554-EA or a comparable substance that meets WSE-M4G323-A4 Ford specification must be done over the cylinder head-to-block surface and oil pan-to-cylinder block surface. The engine front cover requires installation on the dowel before installing the bolts loosely. The installation of front cover bolts and stud bolts requires a sequential two-step process which starts with tightening fasteners from 1 to 7 to 20 - 30 Nm (15 - 22 ft. lbs.) followed by tightening fasteners from 6 to 15 to 40 - 55 Nm (29 - 40 ft. lbs.). Additionally install a new engine front cover front oil seal after positioning the belt idler pulley followed by installing its bolt. Support the vehicle while raising it and temporarily install the front oil pan bolts at first 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.) and continue with an additional 60 degrees of torque. The power steering pump should be placed in its position without using the front lower hole before installing its bolts. You must begin by installing the drain plug on the oil pan followed by vehicle lowering before adding valve covers and water pump. The procedure ends with connecting the Battery Cable and adding Super Premium SAE 5W-30 Motor Oil XO-5W30-QSP or an equivalent that meets Ford specification WSS-M2C153-G.
