  Q: How to Address Issues with the Timing Cover on a Lincoln Town Car?

  A: Service and repair of the timing cover demands the initial step of disconnecting the battery ground cable combined with both valve cover removal. Service and repair of the timing cover starts with removing the Water Pump before raising the vehicle. Lift out the Power Steering Pump by removing its secured bolts then place it to the side. A proper engine drainage process requires removal of the Oil Pan drain plug. Disassemble the vehicle by unfastening the four bolts before letting the vehicle drop to the floor. The service starts with removing the crankshaft front seal then continuing to take out the bolt before the belt idler pulley. Detach the engine front cover by unthreading both its bolts and stud bolts before separating it from the front-cover-to-cylinder-block dowel. Users should use metal surface cleaner to clean the sealing area when the engine front cover takes longer than four minutes to install. The area needs at least five minutes for drying before installation. Sealing material should be applied to the joint between the cylinder head and block and between the oil pan and block. After positioning the front cover on the dowel pin the install bolts should be applied loosely. Install front cover bolts and stud bolts in two stages where you should start with fasteners 1 through 7 to 20 - 30 Nm (15 - 22 ft. lbs.) then move to fasteners 6 through 15 to 40 - 55 Nm (29 - 40 ft. lbs.). The next step includes installing a new engine front cover front oil seal after placing the belt idler pulley then adding the bolt. After lifting the vehicle tighten the front oil pan bolts successively first to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.) and then continue turning them by an additional 60 degrees. Keep in mind that the lower front hole in the power steering pump will not be utilized; properly position the pump while fastening the bolts. Lower the vehicle after installing the oil pan drain plug and complete the installation by securing valve covers and water pump. The procedure finishes by reconnecting the battery ground cable before adding oil into the engine.
