  Q: How to service and repair the engine front timing cover on Ford Five Hundred?

  A: Cleaning operations are essential to service or repair the engine front cover to avoid engine failure due to foreign materials. You should start the process by hoisting the vehicle in NEUTRAL mode while disconnecting the battery ground cable. Start by removing the Oil Pan along with the crankshaft front seal and then proceed to take off both the LH and RH valve covers. Remove first the bolt from the accessory drive belt tensioner before taking off the three power steering pump nuts to position the pump with its attached fluid reservoir to the side. Disconnect both crankshaft position (CKP) and camshaft position (CMP) sensor electric wiring. Disassemble the generator from the engine front cover by removing its stud nut along with bolt and nut before proceeding to detach the three pin-style retainers together with the radiator splash shield. The A/C compressor should be supported with mechanic's wire while the personnel detach its two bolts and nuts before removing its bracket-to-engine front cover bolts. Remove the engine front cover by first detaching the stud bolt ground wire then taking off the 14 bolts, the stud bolt, and the front cover while discarding the gaskets. To seal the surfaces a plastic scraping tool and silicone gasket remover must be used while applying silicone gasket and sealer to create a 6 mm (0.23 inch) diameter dot. Each bolt among the 14 and stud bolt requires a torque of 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) before tightening according to the specified order while installing the engine front cover. Secure the engine front cover ground wire with its stud bolt nut until it reaches 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.) torque value. Install the accessory drive belt tensioner first then bolt it to 45 Nm (33 ft. lbs.), after which tighten the two A/C compressor bracket-to-engine front cover bolts to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). Install the A/C compressor into position then fasten it with two bolts and two nuts tightened to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). Reinstall the radiator splash shield after securing its pin-type retainers while you install the generator to engine front cover bolt at 48 Nm (35 ft. lbs.) followed by 8 Nm (71 inch lbs.) on the stud and 48 Nm (35 ft. lbs.) on the stud nut. Install the power steering pump along with its fluid reservoir afterward connect the three power steering pump nuts at 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). To complete the installation reinstall the accessory drive belt tensioner along with its bolt at 48 Nm (35 ft. lbs.), the LH and RH valve covers, the crankshaft front seal, and lastly the oil pan followed by reconnecting the battery ground cable.
