  Q: How to service and repair the timing cover on Lincoln Blackwood?

  A: Start servicing or repairing the timing cover by removing left and right valve covers, the cooling fan and water pump pulley bolts. Begin by removing the crankshaft pulley then take out its bolts before you put the power steering pump to the side. Starting with the removal of the A/C muffler nut to move the component away then proceed by disconnecting the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor electrical connector. Pour out all engine oil before taking out bolts from the rear of the crankshaft to remove its front oil seal. The vehicle should be lowered while removing the electrical connector from the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor. Use a plastic scraping tool to eliminate all traces of sealant because metal scrapers and abrasive tools will damage the sealing surfaces during the removal of the bolt and belt idler pulley. You should extract the bolts along with studs and engine front cover and gaskets before thoroughly cleaning and inspecting both the oil pan sealing surfaces and front cover sealing surfaces. Apply metal surface cleaner to delete all sealant when installing since the front cover and gasket requires securement within four minutes. Install the engine front cover after applying specified silicone sealant while following these bolt installation steps: bolt one through five to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) then six and seven to 50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.) until bolt 11 through 15 reaches 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). Bolt and connect the CMP sensor before lifting the vehicle to execute a bolt tightening procedure at three stages beginning with 2 Nm (18 inch lbs.) then moving to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.) and finally completing the process by torquing the bolts an additional 60 degrees. Position the crankshaft front oil seal before installing the drain plug and restoring connection between the sensor and crank pulser. Position the A/C muffler before securing the nut and afterward position the power steering pump for bolt installation. Begin by installing the hose support nuts and then proceed with crankshaft pulley installation alongside water pump pulley and their related bolts. The vehicle requires clean engine oil before reinstalling the cooling fan together with left and right valve covers.
