Not to look nervous! Adults, keep your children away from the monitor screen.
After an accident through my fault, Fordissimo promised a new chain in order to forget all the grievances.
After 2 days I called a friend, everything was ordered, when the spare parts arrived, I immediately drove it to be repaired.
So, what was needed to replace:
- valve train chain;
- sedatives;
- tensioner;
- valve cover gasket;
- Front crankshaft seal.
Today, early in the morning, I took the car to the other end of the city and left with a calm soul in the hope that everything would be fine with me.
As you know, to change the chain, you need to remove the valve cover. Well, I was sitting, having breakfast, nothing foreshadowed trouble. Then a message came from my friend, they removed the valve cover and decided to show me what's under it ...
And there was a surprise waiting for me. You know, there is such a type of owners who carefully monitor the body and interior, but for some reason they put aside the heart of the car - the engine. The first owner of my Ford, unfortunately, was just like that.
Once, in one of the VKontakte groups, I saw an entry about an Audi TT that traveled 100 thousand km without changing the oil, and so, mine didn’t differ much from it) Conclusion: the first owner did not change the oil for about 50-70 thousand km, well, that’s right , offhand. I have xenon headlights and angel eyes in my headlights. It seems that with the money saved on an oil change, he just redid the optics a little, but what about the engine - I don’t care, it goes fine.
Honestly, I'm shocked at how it was possible to start the car so much. There are no complaints about the body and interior, everything is wonderful. But one has only to look inside - a surprise awaits you. You change the candles - a surprise, the drum pads - a surprise, you clean the throttle - again a surprise. Now also the engine.
What my friend told me: you need to change the camshaft stars, as well as flush, flush and flush the engine again. Just do what to wash. Naturally, it would be better to disassemble, clean and assemble it all, but you can try and rinse it, he says, maybe it will be possible to restore it.
In general, the first owner was not particularly involved in this machine, I feel sorry for Fordika.
My friend has not yet begun to take money for work, so the issue price is 15,000 (only spare parts)
P.S. A lot of people say to me: "I would have freaked out already, you're messing with this car so much, sell it, finally buy something better." I cannot sell it. You know, every time I do something for him, I feel gratitude, as if he wants to say thank you for at least someone starting to work with him ... And I have never received such sincere gratitude from any person.
A small report on replacing the timing chain with Duratek 1.6 8 cells. At a run of 100 thousand, the chain began to shuffle and then began to increase with mileage. I decided to change the kit. Purchased - Chain Ruville, both strips Ruville. Gears of the crankshaft, camshaft and pulley oil seal-Original.
. They did everything in the pit. Opened the valve cover, nothing critical was found
We turn off 2 nuts and 1 bolt on this thing
We unscrew the bolts for fastening the oil pump, the crankshaft pulley and remove the pump together with the pulley. Next, we display the timing gear of the camshaft with the triangle arrow at 12 o'clock, and the mark on the crankshaft should be like this at 6 o'clock.
Unscrew the straps and remove them. and remove the chain (look, sniff, lick and try the removed parts on the tooth. Whoever wants to put it under the pillow.) Remove the old oil seal, my pulley and pump. : Do NOT remove the pulley together with the pulley after pressing the stuffing box out of the pump! Put the pulley-pump together! Device for pressing the stuffing box together with the pulley
I didn’t take off the ban, sorry, there was no time. We put the strap chain. Now we put the pump with a pulley, first we fix the crankshaft pulley, then the pump itself.
Now you can assemble in the reverse order. Between the start and installation of the pump, I waited an interval of 4 hours for the stuffing box to shrink.
then start the engine.
