  Q: How to Service and Repair the Engine Front Timing Cover to Prevent Engine Failure on Ford Taurus X?

  A:

  The cleaning process for engine front cover repairs must be thorough to protect against engine failure brought by foreign material entry. Place the vehicle on a hoist before starting the repair process of the A/C system. Service professionals should remove the air cleaner outlet pipe followed by front wheels along with tires then disconnect the accessory Drive Belt and tensioner along with the power steering belt. Remove the degas bottle together with the Evaporative Emission Canister Purge Valve after you disconnect the A/C tubes while throwing away the O-ring seals. The first step to power steering fluid drainage involves draining the fluid while you remove the RH inner fender splash shield. Start by using a strap wrench to remove the crankshaft bolt with its washer before throwing away the bolt and continuing with a 3-jaw puller to detach the crankshaft pulley along with an oil seal remover to remove the crankshaft front seal. The Y-pipe becomes removable after disconnecting its gaskets and nuts which allows draining of engine oil along with power steering reservoir hose detachment. Begin by removing the valve covers then move on to unplug the wiring harness retainer along with the disconnecting the power steering connections between pressure switch and solenoid. A floor jack along with an Oil Pan Holding Fixture should be positioned beneath the oil pan before disconnecting engine mount brace, engine mount nuts and engine mount bracket. Use hand tools exclusively when removing the engine mount bolts along with the stud fasteners. Use a 3M Roloc Bristle Disk (part number 07528) to clean the engine front cover with care against the entry of foreign substances into the engine space. Use specified areas of Motorcraft High Performance Engine RTV Silicone before installing the engine front cover with bolts 17, 18, 19, and 20 in sequential order. Secure the engine mount bracket and its bolts first then add the engine mount with all its bolts while torquing them according to specifications. Reinstall the A/C system tubes followed by Power Steering Pump components then valve covers and check that all connections maintain their proper position. You should install the exhaust Y-pipe with new nuts before lubricating the crankshaft front seal bore and placing a new crankshaft front seal. Put the crankshaft pulley into position and follow a staged process of tightening the retaining bolt. The assembly continues with the A/C system and the engine and power steering system receive new clean fluids. After confirming complete installations all parts need to be checked and secured to make the vehicle operational.
